When people are determined to achieve something in particular, they appear to the gods like a bunch of children fighting over a cake. In the struggle, the cake is torn to pieces and falls to the ground. Although every single piece can be picked up again, a little piece of dirty cake is not what any of them had wanted.
神是會笑人的，當人堅持一定要達成所求、一定要怎樣時，在神仙看來，就像一群小孩分餅，分到的餅掉地上、破了，撿起來雖然一樣多，小孩卻非要不破的餅。
