الْكِيسَانِ
ترجمة: د. أحمد الليثي
تَحْكِي لَنَا أُسْطُورَةٌ قَدِيمَةٌ أَنَّ كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ فِي هَذَا الْعَالَمِ يُولَدُ وَمَعَهُ كِيسَانِ يَتَدَلَّيَانِ مِنْ عُنُقِهِ: أَحَدُهُمَا أَمَامَهُ، وَمَمْلُوءٌ بِأَخْطَاءِ النَّاسِ مِنْ حَوْلِهِ، أَمَّا الآخَرُ فَكِيسٌ كَبِيرٌ يَتَدَلَّى وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِهِ، وَمَمْلُوءٌ بِأَخْطَائِهِ هُوَ. وَلِذَلِكَ يَرَى الْبَشَرُ أَخْطَاءَ غَيْرِهِمُ بِسُهُولَةٍ، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ نَادِرًا مَا يَرَوْنَ نَقَائِصَ أَنْفُسِهِمُ.
