When I was about seven years old，my grandfather（71） me to a fish pond on a farm and told me to throw a stone into the water．He told me to watch the circles created （72） the stone．Then he asked to think of myself at that stone．"You may create lots of circles in your life，but the waves （73） come from those circles will disturb（干扰） the peace of all the people around you，"he said （74） ．"Remember that your circle may spread to many other circles，meaning that your thoughts or actions may disturb others'（75） ．You are responsible for what put in your circle．If you want，the good or peace that comes from your circle （76） to others．At the same time，the anger or jealousy （嫉妒） coming from your circle will also spread to other circles．You should allow the good feelings （77） others，not the bad ones，because you are responsible for both．"
That was the （78） time I heard my grandfather tell me these．I had realized that each person's （79） or anger can move out into the world．If we are filled with doubt or anger，we cannot create world peace．We spread the feelings and thoughts that we hold inside，whether we speak （80） or not．These circles are spreading into the world，creating beauty or making troubles to other circles of life．
