Many disasters will turn steel into steel. ——Shakespeare
The blacksmith made two swords.
They were exactly the same when they came out of the oven, dumb and dull.
The blacksmith wanted to sharpen them.
One of the swords thought that these steels were hard to come by, so it would be better not to sharpen them.
It told the blacksmith this idea.
The blacksmith agreed to it.
The blacksmith went to sharpen another sword, but it did not refuse.
After a long period of sharpening, a gleaming sword was polished.
The blacksmith hung the two swords in the shop.
Soon a customer came to the door, and he immediately fell in love with the polished one because it was sharp, light and practical.
Although the blunt one has more steel and is heavier, it cannot be used as a sword. It is just a sword-shaped piece of iron at best.
Both were made by the same blacksmith and made with the same effort, but the fate of the two swords was so different! The sharp one was thin and light, while the other was thick and heavy. , the former is a sharp tool for cutting iron like mud, while the latter is just a useless decoration and a burden.
