An Icy Reality

By Lyu You

In the winter, the seal needs to dig a hole on the ice so that it can breathe out of the water. The polar bear found out this secret. In order to catch the seal, it hides near the hole, and always achieves its aim. Later, to escape from the polar bear, the seal digs many holes on the ice. As a result of the holes, the polar bear feels confused, and doesn’t know which hole the seal will come out of. Sometimes, the polar bear waits a whole day without any success.

This strategy reflects the plight of the information age. Things are strange in the modern world. When the only one is true, it is easy to find. But when there are many false ones, it is hard to find the true one.

(From Thinking and Wisdom, Issue 17,2016.Translated: Liu Yi )

严冬,海豹为了露出水面换气,常常要在冰面上挖一个洞。白熊发现了这个秘密,为捕到海豹,便悄悄守候在洞口,一逮一个准。

后来,海豹为防备白熊,便在冰面上挖很多洞。这样一来,真真假假,假假真真,白熊弄不清海豹究竟会从哪个洞口出来,有时等上一天也毫无收获。

世上的事就是怪,只有一个真的,很容易找到;假的多了,就很难找到真的。

(摘自《思维与智慧》 2016年第17期)
