常改作業改報告改自己的小說，改成習慣了。

Knowledge makes humble, ignorance makes proud.

[腊八粥]

幸存的意義是幸存的人自訂的，那的確是他自己的選擇，同時也是旁觀者的選擇。

常聽見一種傳教的說法。譬如地震來了，樓垮了，很多人埋在裡面。
隔了好多天，搜救隊挖出來一息尚存的幸存者。
幸存者的見證是：當我被埋在下面，我不停口唸 (xx法號，xx神，xx佛號，xxx法好等)。果然我得救了。
於是這就是一個 xx神佛，師尊靈驗，真實存在的例子。很多人因此信了，或者信得更虔誠。

但當時很多人被埋了，剩下沒被即時挖出來的遇難者，難保不也唸了這些法號。
但天地不仁，他們還是死掉了。身為一個旁觀者，我們也可以說幸存其實並沒有(幸存者認定的)意義。
因為保佑他們的神佛，師尊的分身等等本來就不存在，他們的幸存意義也與神佛無關。

精神寄托而已

"If you give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest of men, I will find something in them which will hang him." Cardinal Richelieu (1585 – 1642)
我想這句是說人都是很複雜的動物，不能黑白分明的就是一個自己認定的好人一定是完美的。

W. Somerset Maugham (1874-1965)
"It's no good trying to keep up old friendships. It's painful for both sides. The fact is, one grows out of people, and the only thing is to face it."
這和上面腊八粥貼的一條李敖的話很像。
我們會不停的成長，與老朋友漸行漸遠。這時也不需抓著友誼不放，那樣反而痛苦。(會交到新的，與自己類似的朋友)

"When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character."
交朋友的時候，人格比個性重要。

這句話影響自己很深：
"I made up my mind long ago that life was too short to do anything for myself that I could pay others to do for me."
生命太短了，所以我不想做任何我能付錢請人做的事情。

"Man is not a rational animal, but an animal capable of reason." - Jonathan Swift (1667-1745)
未來有可能實現基因改造，把我們人類的情緒影響調低一些，或者有一個開關，該開的時候開，該關的時候關。
在那之前我們都不可能是完全理性的人，只是有著一些理性的能力，但不見得會用上它的動物。

叔本華來了。
Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 - 1860)
"All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident."

"Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world."

"Compassion is the basis of morality."

"The discovery of truth is prevented more effectively, not by the false appearance things present and which mislead into error, not directly by weakness of the reasoning powers, but by preconceived opinion, by prejudice."

"Treat a work of art like a prince. Let it speak to you first."

"To buy books would be a good thing if we also could buy the time to read them."

"The alchemists in their search for gold discovered many other things of greater value."

The most fatal illusion is the settled point of view.

[lfe634]

They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel.
Carl W. Buechner (1926-)
很操蛋沒辦法。另外有一句話類似的可以給小說作者參考：
"讀者看完一本小說很快就把劇情忘了，但他們忘不了小說人物。"

The only things that evolve by themselves in an organization are disorder, friction, and mal-performance.
Peter Drucker (1909-2005)

 

[lfe634]

There is no royal road to anything.
One thing at a time, and all things in succession.
That which grows slowly endures.
Josiah Gilbert Holland (1819-1881)
這是一個理想的世界。
現實世界其實截徑還是有的，如賄賂官員。
