A simple story is enough to give profound life lessons. Thousands of lives have thousands of stories, and different experiences have different experiences. These philosophical stories are enlightening and thought-provoking. They explain the philosophy of life from different aspects. Besides, they are short and concise with simple plots and easy readability.

Story 1: Choice

A farmer saved his wife from the flood, but his child drowned. After the event, people are talking. Some say he is right, because the child can have another child, but the wife cannot die and come back to life. Some say he was wrong, because a wife may marry another, but the child cannot die and live again. I listened to people's comments, also feel confused difficult to decide: if only save one person, should save his wife, or save the child? So I went to see the farmer and asked him what he thought. "I don't think of anything," he replied. The flood hit and my wife passed me. I grabbed her and swam up the nearby hill. When I returned, the child had been washed away by the flood. On the way home, I pondered the farmer's words and said to myself: So it is called that there are many choices in life.

Story two: Lover's Heart

This is a true story that happened in England. A lonely old man, childless and frail, decided to move to a nursing home. The old man announced his beautiful house for sale. Buyers flocked to the store. The base price of the house was £80,000, but people quickly bid it up to £100,000. Prices are still rising. The old man was deeply in love and melancholy. Yes, but for his poor health, he would not have sold the house that accompanied him for most of his life. A young man in plain clothes came up to the old man, bent down and said in a low voice, "Sir, I would like to buy this house, but I only have 10,000 pounds. However, if you sell the house to me, I promise to let you still live here, and I drink tea together, read newspapers, walk, happy every day - believe me, I will use the whole heart to take care of you!" The old man nodded and smiled, and sold the house to him at the price of 10,000 pounds. To accomplish your dream, you don't have to fight ruthlessly and cheat, sometimes, as long as you have a heart of love.

Story 3: The window

There was a wife who complained for years that the woman opposite her was lazy. "That woman's clothes never get cleaned. Look, she's drying them out in the yard and they're always spotted. Until one day, a perceptive friend came to her house and found that it was not the wife's clothes on the other side that were not clean. Her attentive friend took a cloth and wiped the ashes off the lady's window, saying, "Look, it's already clean!"
