New beginning
Aloha! *using the same starting line* It's a long time since this blog is in operation... someone even asked me if this blog is 'dead'... My reply to that was:"nonono, of course not, the blog is just in hibernation. Reviving soon...hee"

So schooling life is finally over, erm.. actually not really, cos still have fyp presentation. Then there's still the job searching process... so sian... All in all, my status at the moment: jobless and very eng.. hee.

Been digging out books that i bought in China to read, yup, chinese novels... not those thick thick ones with words from right to left, up to down.. haha... it's those normal ones... gotten this book from this author named 蔡智恒. Found one section of the book very meaningful, so here it goes:




想象画里的人正奋力地向上跃起,伸长着手努力想抓住悬挂在上方的东西。那些东西的形状很丰富,有长的,有短的,有圆的,有方的,有扁的。还有的像星星,有的像沙子,有的模模糊糊,看不出形状。这幅画叫做《追求》。

大家每天都在追求些什么;有些东西虽然闪亮,但抓在手里却容易刺伤自己,像那些形状尖锐的星星。

还有的东西像沙子,抓得紧还是会漏,感情不就是如此。

而那些像阴影的东西是大部分的人一直想要的东西,但其实自己也不知道那些是什么东西。

很多人在追求的过程中,因为太用力和执着,脸上的表情时常会很僵硬,也通常不快乐。你是否像很多人一样,每天都在追求着某种东西呢?

如果把这幅画翻过来看,它的名字就变成了《满足》。




一幅空白的画为什么会是满足呢?试想想,如果什么都没有,什么都不必追求,当然就叫满足了。满足是因人而异的东西,羊认为每天有吃不完的草就叫做满足,但狮子可不这么认为。

长时间的满足感很难拥有,而且满足感通常只是片刻的事。就像《追求》所画的,需要追求的东西太多了。满足可能只是刚好抓住某样东西时,瞬间的触感而已。

看来想要得到长时间的满足,是不太可能的。很想拥有满足的感觉,其实也是一种追求的欲望。但如果能在追求的过程中感到快乐,那么你到底在追求什么,或者是否追求得到,就不是那么重要了。
