Thegodanswered,“.”

Thephilosopheraskedagain,“Whataboutthepresent —themostsignificantpresent? Haveyoupaidanyattentiontoit?”

“Thepresent!”thegodwastakenaback,“HowcouldIspareaminutetoitsinceIamsobusywiththepastandthefuture?”

“Thepastisgone,”saidthephilosopher,“; ifyouignorethepresent, yourknowledgeaboutthepastandfuturewillbemeaninglesshowevergreatitis!”

Thegod, suddenlyawakenedtothetruth, burstoutcrying,“Howcorrectyourcommentis! ItwaspreciselybecauseIdidn'tgraspthepresentthattheancientcityofRomewasturnedintoapageofhistorywhileImyselfwasthrownintotheruins.”

在古罗马的废墟里,哲学家发现了一尊双面神像。因为从未见过这样的神像,所以哲学家就好奇地问:“你是什么神啊,为什么有两张面孔?”

神像回答道:“我是双面神。我一面可以回顾过去,吸取教训;一面可以展望未来,充满希望。”

哲学家又问:“那现在呢?你注意到无比重要的现在了吗?”

“现在!”神像愣住了,“我忙于追溯过去和展望未来,怎么会有时间去管现在?”

哲学家说:“过去已经逝去,将来还未到来,现在才是我们唯一能够把握的。如果你忽视了现在,你对过去和未来的认识也就没有任何意义了。所以,不管怎么说,现在都是重要的。”

双面神恍然大悟,痛哭起来:“你说得太对了!古罗马之所以成为历史,我之所以被埋在废墟里,都是因为我没有把握住现在。”
