Dear Christine:

I know you are blue now, I don't mean to interrupt you and your little space. However, I still want to say something to you. Yes, you are in adversity now, the one you have never faced before. But anyway, you have to know this is life.

 

Anything could happen and you have to be brave. You are a brave girl and I think nothing can defeat you. Do you still remember the movie <<Forrest Gump>>, do you still remember the lines:"Life was like a box of chocolate, you never know what you're gonna get." So never give up, don't say "You can't". Though your ability is limited, there are still something you can achieve through your own strive. It is just beginning, you still have a long way to go. Don't regard yourself as a loser and negate all your advantages you have. I'm sure that if you can try your best, you will do a good job, of course you can.I believe you.

 

If you are still confused now, try to calm down and figure out how it could be. Unless you find out the truth, you can make your further plans. You can be stumbled over by the stone once ,but never twice, or you are really a fool.

 

You told me you like the keys of piano, because there are only two colours, really very simple, just like the simple life you are pursuing. 

 

Maybe you just want to stay alone in your warm room, though, to some extent, it is no longer warm. Cold, freezing cold.In fact, the real coldness is from the bottom of your heart. 

 

Don't tell me you will not trust yourself any longer. Don't tell me you want to escape from the real life. Don't be a deserter ,nor a coward. Just be yourself.

 

I know you are now leaving yourself in the little corner,licking your own wound. I don't know how to heal your scar. I think what you have to do is to stand up by yourself. If you are sad, just cry out.

 

Maybe I said too much. So I think I will stop here. I want to see your smile again. Can you still smile tomorrow? U see, if u can smile ,the world will smile.

 

Don't stay up too late today, don't indulge in alcohol, everything will go well. Good night , dear.

 

Yours

早上很早起床了,在厨房里遇到了两天没见的Kaba(也许最近大家都很忙,所以厨房变得越来越冷清了,难得看到大家).他在给自己做早餐:两个煎鸡蛋,两片柠檬,两片西红柿还有两片面,外加一杯牛奶,一顿营养很丰富的早餐,比我的早餐还丰盛.

 

我就跟他聊起来了,聊着聊着,我忽然问了他一个问题:如果再给你一个选择的机会,你会选择停留在几岁?

 

他没有多思考就回答了:"Fifty."

 

"Fifteen?"我一开始没有听清楚.

 

"Fifty."他又说了一遍.

 

"Fifty???"他的答案让我大吃一惊,我本以为他会选择童年的某一段时光的.

 

"Why?"好奇心驱使我问个究竟.

 

"Because in my country, people can seldom live until fifty. And if u can live to forty, u r lucky."他说着说着,表情忽然显得有点凝重.

 

"Oh, how can it be!"我一时有点接受不了,在我的概念里,40到50是一个男人的黄金时期,而在他们国家,这个年龄阶段意味着一个人生命的终结.

 

Kaba已经30出头了,再过一些年,他就要40了,这个可怕的数字,对他来说.

 

"Kaba , u will be lucky, I believe!"我微笑着对他说.说完之后,就匆匆回到了自己的房间,如果再呆在厨房,我不知道怎么跟他继续交谈下去了,因为在这么一个阳光灿烂的清晨,谈论到这样一个问题,让大家的心情都显得有些沉重了.

 

而我尽管回到了自己的房间,内心却已经无法恢复平静了.

 

在我看来,他们的一生是那么短暂,因为在我的国家,人均寿命可以达到七八十岁,活过一百的老人都越来越多了.我知道,存在这么大的差别,和人们的生存环境,生活质量有很大的关系.可是,我不想深究这些问题,我想得更多的是:即便是在我们国家,或是其他国家,人均寿命达到了七八十,甚至以后达到一百多,这样的数字就会让人们觉得自己的一生足够长了吗?

 

如果是这样,那么从古至今,也不会有人一直在寻求所谓的长生不老药了.只要是人,都会或多或少地畏惧死亡,因为人一旦死亡,就什么都没有了,从躯体到灵魂.也许很多人认为灵魂是不朽的,但是这样不朽的灵魂只能漂浮在虚无的空间而无法穿越现实世界.所以,从某种意义上来说,生命之于人,是短暂的.人从来到这个世界上,就知道自己最终是会从这个世界上消失的,无论是以何种方式告别这个世界的。

 

生命是短暂的,因为它的长度是一定的。所以曾有人说:"不能增加生命的长度,就要开拓生命的宽度."而我要说,我们还要试着拓展生命的维度,要让生命在一个多维的空间里显出勃勃的生机,要让自己的人生更有意义.

 

怎样的人生才算是有意义?每个人对这个问题都有自己不同的看法,因为每个人都有自己不同的追求,从物质层面到精神层面.只有当觉得自己的人生有意义的时候,才能真正感受到生活的乐趣,才能发自内心地说一句:"活着真好!"

 

"如果再给你一个选择的机会,你会选择停留在几岁?"这只是一种假设,现实中的我们一旦开始就无法停留,所以,调整自己的步伐,好好把握现在,

活出自己的精彩人生,才是最重要的.

 

有一天,如果你觉得自己很开心, 就感叹一句:"活着真好!"

有一天,如果你觉得自己很失落, 就感叹一句:"活着就好!"

 

如果说,整个人生是那么得短暂,那么人生中的每一天就更显得短暂了.随着年龄的增长,感觉到一天一天过得越来越快了,也许一生也就这么快地过去了,但是只要在每一天开始的时候还有新的憧憬,那就足够了,因为至少,我们的每一天都是不一样的!
