人生就像走一条路——幼年时，走在深山的羊肠小径，径上除了父母亲友，既无车，也少行人。少年时，上了乡村道路，路上人车虽不多，却很辛苦，因为泥泞颠踬又多尘。 青年时，上了高速公路，许多车子从身边呼啸而过，多了危险、少了自由、有了速度，却多了污染。 壮年时，进入都市大道，车辆穿梭、号志复杂、灯火迷离、眼花缭乱，稍不小心，就要吃罚单。老年时，到达都市的中心。各方来车都在此停驻，走下乘客、走下游人、走进人生庆典的广场，待太阳西下，看漫天烟火的绽放……除非做个与世隔绝的隐士，人生的道路总得愈走愈宽；人生的终站，总该是个广场，才能让心中的车水马龙在此“放下”。 除非有宽广的路，在这争逐的时代，绝对无法不出车祸；除非有豁达的爱，在这爱的车阵中，绝对无法顺畅。 人生就像走一条路，一条愈来愈豁达的“心路”。 －－摘自刘墉的《爱原来可以如此豁达》

 

很喜欢的一段话，希望和朋友们一齐分享。

I dreamed I had an interview with God.

“So you would like to interview me?” God asked.

“If you have the time” I said.

God smiled. “My time is eternity.”
“What questions do you have in mind for me?”

“What surprises you most about humankind?”

God answered...
“That they get bored with childhood,
they rush to grow up, and then
long to be children again.”

“That they lose their health to make money...
and then lose their money to restore their health.”

“That by thinking anxiously about the future,
they forget the present,
such that they live in neither
the present nor the future.”

"That they live as if they will never die,
and die as though they had never lived.”

God’s hand took mine
and we were silent for a while.

And then I asked...
“As a parent, what are some of life’s lessons
you want your children to learn?”

“To learn they cannot make anyone
love them. All they can do
is let themselves be loved.”

“To learn that it is not good
to compare themselves to others.”

“To learn to forgive
by practicing forgiveness.”

“To learn that it only takes a few seconds
to open profound wounds in those they love,
and it can take many years to heal them.”

“To learn that a rich person
is not one who has the most,
but is one who needs the least.”

“To learn that there are people
who love them dearly,
but simply have not yet learned
how to express or show their feelings.”

“To learn that two people can
look at the same thing
and see it differently.”

“To learn that it is not enough that they
forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves.”

"Thank you for your time," I said humbly.

"Is there anything else
you would like your children to know?"

God smiled and said,
“Just know that I am here... always.”
