安迪的垃圾堆

我完全同意當父親是會變胖的。當父親讓我胖了四十五磅，不過愛讓我胖了二十五磅。從愛到父親，整整胖了至少七十磅。

生命的意義

在讀 Tuesday with Morrie 的時候的一段，

“It’s very simple. As you grow, you learn more. If you stayed at twenty-two, you’d always be as ignorant as you were at twenty-two. Aging is not just decay, you know. It’s growth. It’s more than the negative that you’re going to die, it’s also the positive that you understand you’re going to die, and that you live a better life because of it.”

Yes, I said, but if aging were so valuable, why do people always say, “Oh, if I were young again.” You never hear people say, “I wish I were sixty-five.”

He smiled. “You know what that reflects? Unsatisfied lives. Unfulfilled lives. Lives that haven’t found meaning. Because if you’ve found meaning in your life, you don’t want to go back. You want to go forward. You want to see more, do more. You can’t wait until sixty-five.

“Listen. You should know something. All younger people should know something. If you’re always battling against getting older, you’re always going to be unhappy, because it will happen anyhow.”

從來不會想”過去如果…”的問題，我知道那是過去的事，永遠不能改變。對流逝的歲月感到懷念，但知道懷念只是因為它的過去。沒有必要羨慕年輕，因為我已經經歷過，面對中老年的未來感到惶恐，卻充滿期待。生命的意義是什麼，雖然我沒有答案，但每個年齡的我對生命都有不一樣的想法，讀到這裡不知道為什麼就哭了，心理完全知道文字的意義。
