출간후기······························ 238

마음이 아름다우니
세상이 아름다워라
밉게 보면 잡초 아닌 풀이 없고
곱게 보면 꽃 아닌 사람이 없으되
내가 잡초 되기 싫으니
그대를 꽃으로 볼 일이로다
털려고 들면 먼지 없는 이 없고
덮으려고 들면 못 덮을 허물 없으되
누구의 눈에 들기는 힘들어도
그 눈 밖에 나기는 한순간이더라

귀가 얇은 자는
그 입 또한 가랑잎처럼 가볍고
귀가 두꺼운 자는
그 입 또한 바위처럼 무거운 법
생각이 깊은 자여!
그대는 남의 말을 내 말처럼 하리라
겸손은 사람을 머물게 하고
칭찬은 사람을 가깝게 하고
넓음은 사람을 따르게 하고
깊음은 사람을 감동케 하니
마음이 아름다운 자여!
그대 그 향기에 세상이 아름다워라

이채 시인의 대표작 “마음이 아름다우니 세상이 아름다워라”입니다. 그런데 2012년 4월경부터 어인 일인지 이 시가 “다산 정약용” 선생의 『목민심서』 한 구절로 잘못 유포되었습니다. 역사 속의 저서를 잘못 이해하고 있는 수백만 명의 독자들에게 이 시를 권하고 싶습니다.
