A weasel once challenged a lion to a fight to the death. The lion resolutely refused. "What, are you afraid?" the weasel asked. "Extremely afraid," the lion replied. "If I accept, you will gain the honor of having fought a lion, but what about me? From then on, all animals will mock me for fighting with a weasel."
In America, there was once a young writer who produced many popular works in his early years, achieving great sales and receiving widespread acclaim. However, one day, the writer became embroiled in a dispute with a local petty person over trivial matters, and neither would back down. Friends advised him not to argue with such a person, noting that his time was precious and should be spent on writing. But the writer could not let it go; he felt that the individual had damaged his reputation and insulted his character, and he was determined to defeat him and win his total submission. From then on, the writer was constantly at odds with this "enemy," leading to continuous conflicts and friction. As a result, he could no longer focus on his craft and failed to produce any more satisfying works. Many years later, most people had forgotten that such a talented writer ever existed.
