分析 本文是一篇寓言故事;讲述一只圆圈缺了一块楔子.圆圈想保持完整,便四处寻找失去的那块楔子.由于它不完整,所以只能滚动很慢,一路上欣赏风景.终于有一天,它找到了一个完美的配件;成了一个完整的圆圈,所以滚动得非常快;但是它发现眼中的世界变得如此不同,于是,它不禁停了下来,将找到的那个配件留在路旁,又开始了慢慢的滚动.
这个故事告诉我们,从某种奇妙意义上讲,当我们失去了一些东西时反而感到更加完整.一个拥有一切的人其实在某些方面是个穷人.他永远也体会不到什么是渴望、期待以及对美好梦想的感悟.生活不是拼图游戏,容不得一个错误;生活更像一个棒球的赛季,其目标在于赢比输多.接受人生的不完整我们就能获得他人渴望的完整.
