6 The Hawk and the Pigenos

Some pigeons had long lived in fear of a hawk,but since they had always kept on the alert and stayed near their dovecote, they had consistently managed to escape their enemy's attacks.Finding his sallies unsuccessful，the hawk now sought to use cunning to trick the pigeons.

“Why，”he once asked,"do you prefer this life of constant anxiety when I could keep you safe from any conceivable attack by the kites and falcons?All you have to do is to make me your king,and I won't bother you anymore."

Trusting his claims，the pigeons elected his to their throne,but no sooner was he installed than he began exercising  his royal prerogative by devouring a pigeon a day.

"It serves us right,"said one poor pigeon whose turn was yet to come.

Some remedies are worse than the disease itself.

这篇我想到的是侵略和奴化或是某些社会运转的机制，统治者说我来保护你们，过程中不断牺牲少数人以维持大局的稳定，最后谁是真正的赢家？或早或晚你也成为少数人中的一个。那一刻也许只能说一句“It serves us right.（活该）”社会层次上细思恐极，不好展开去讲。社会中这样的事情也屡见不鲜。先骗你说保护你的利益，最后从内部把大家一个个吞噬。问问自己，别人为什么无缘无故为你考虑呢。

从小的个人来讲，命运最好还是掌握在自己的手中放心些。我也许有个问题，但是有些所谓的补救会带来比原本的问题更糟的事情。不过可悲的是，和故事里的鸽子一样，往往有问题没解决的人会被情绪左右，失去原有的判断力，作出错误的决定，所以越是没钱的人越是容易被骗钱，越是生病严重的人越是去找了假医生。当碰到问题时候，一定先控制住自己的情绪，think！不要盲目补救，盲目补救不是死马当作活马医，是可能把本来不死的马医死了。
