Talking About Aristides 본문

Jaegyum: (Eyes wide) Wow, Jaeyi, can you believe that story about Aristides? That man, the 'Just' one, had to leave Athens just because people were tired of hearing how good he was!
Jaeyi: (Frowning slightly) That's strange, hyung. If he was just, shouldn't people like him? Why would they want to send him away?
Jaegyum: That's what the story said! Someone who couldn't even write asked Aristides to write his own name on the pottery shard to vote him out. When Aristides asked if he had done anything wrong, the man just said he was annoyed hearing everyone call him 'the Just'.
Jaeyi: So, even if you're a good person, people can still be jealous or tired of you? That doesn't seem fair.
Jaegyum: It doesn't, does it? It makes me think about how important it is to be humble, even if you do good things. Maybe if everyone keeps praising you, it can make others feel bad or envious.
Jaeyi: I guess so. Like when Minji always brags about getting the highest score in math? Sometimes it makes me not want to talk to her, even though she's good at math.
Jaegyum: Exactly! It's like the people in Athens got tired of hearing how just Aristides was, even if he actually was a good leader. It's a bit like the saying, "Too much of a good thing can be bad."
Jaeyi: So, even being too good can be a problem? That's a difficult lesson. I thought being good was always the goal.
Jaegyum: It is the goal, Jaeyi-yah, but maybe it's also important to be considerate of how your actions and reputation affect others. Aristides sounds like he was a great man, but this story shows that even great people can face unfair situations because of how others perceive them.
Jaeyi: I understand a little better now. It's not just about being good yourself, but also about how you relate to other people. Maybe being 'the Just' made some people feel less important or something.
Jaegyum: That could be it. It's a complicated story, but it makes you think, right? It makes me want to be a good person, but also to be mindful of how I talk about my achievements and how others might feel.
Jaeyi: Me too, hyung. Maybe being truly 'just' also means understanding other people's feelings, even if they don't have a good reason to feel that way.
