小时候，喜欢蹲在地上看蚂蚁，总能从蚂蚁的生活中发现许多乐趣。大了以后不再看蚂蚁，而只是估计自己，蚂蚁从我的世界中远去。偶尔从“动物世界”中再看到蚂蚁，带着一种人的宽容与自以为是。总感觉蚂蚁很像人，他们和人一样觅食、繁衍、结群、打架，甚至像人一样知道埋葬同伴的尸体。某一天，又蹲下仔细看蚂蚁，才发觉原来不是蚂蚁像人，而是人真正像蚂蚁。高高在上时，人看不见蚂蚁，以为人可以主宰小蚂蚁的生命。蹲下来时，才发现人和蚂蚁一样值得怜悯，人在宇宙中脆弱如蚂蚁。只有放低自己，蹲下来看世界，才会发现世界的真谛。人和蚂蚁，本是同类。

When I was a little child, I was fond of squatting down to watch ants. Their lives were so amusing and interesting to me. But when I have grown up, I rarely watched them any more. I spent all my time on my own concerns, and ants fade away from my world. Once in a while, when I watched a special TV program “Animal World” with human being’s tolerance and arrogance, I found that ants were similar to human beings. They seek for food, reproduce, form groups, fight, and bury their companions’ body as we do. But one day, when I squatted down to see the ants again, I realized that it is not ants than look like human, but human that is like ants. From our high perspective, we can’t see ants clearly. We believe that the little ants are under our control. But when we get close to them, we could realize that human beings are pitiable as ants. Because when we are in the vast universe, we are as fragile as ants. The only way to find the truth of the world is to squat down to watch the world carefully by placing ourselves in a lower position. In essence, human beings and ants are the same.
