July 05 Mostly HarmlessI am going to finish the fifth and the last in the book "The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy." It started to be a hilarious adventure in space, but getting towards the end, the fun is still there, at the same time, some philosophy in it. Get it or not, still think it's worth sharing
Excerpt from Mostly Harmless by Douglas Adams
Trillian picked up a sandwich and looked at it. She sniffed it carefully. “Try it,” said Arhtur, “it’s good.” …… “What’s the meat in it?” asked Trillian. “Ah yes, that’s, um, that’s Perfectly Normal Beast.” “It’s what?” “Perfectly Normal Beast. It’s a bit like a cow, or rather a bull. Kind of like a buffalo in fact. Large, charging sort of animal.” “So what’s odd about it?” “Nothing, it’s perfectly normal.” “I see.” “It’s just a bit odd where it comes from.” …… “When I say they come from a point to the east of the Hondo Mountains, I mean that that’s where they suddenly appear. Then they sweep across the Anhondo Plains and, well, vanish really. We have about six days to catch as many of them as we can before they disappear. In the spring they do it again, only the other way around, you see.” ……“I see,” she said, ……“ and why are they called Perfectly Normal Beasts?” “Well, I think because otherwise people might think it was a bit odd. Thrashbarg [a friend] says that they come from where they come from and they go to where they go to and that it’s Bob’s will and that’s all there is to it.” “Who—“ [Bob here is the “almighty Bob” if you get what it means] June 26 感覺很好June 03 akirameru--explainedinteresting, didn't know there are actually people reading this thing on a daily basis.
thanks for your support. the japanese piece was about 放棄 (あきらめる), which was sth in a japanese drama i was watching that touched me. there are times in life that we should hang on, but there are also times to give up/ let go. we can't win all the battles, so we choose our battles to fight. by the same token, we hang on to things that are meaningful to us, and when we realize this thing is no longer valuable, we can let go.
like a whole lot of other things in life, timing is vital. knowing when to let go is an art. doing it right will save trouble for yourself and people around you.
it's an old revelation re-examined, just felt right to be in japanese. June 02 あきらめるあきらめたほうがいい はなしのことはくろしになる はなさないのこともくろしい へんじゃないの ? このブロックはあなたのためかいてになった でもそうしたくない だから, あきらめる じんせいはあきらめるのことがある May 29 回顧快樂快樂是否需要事後回望才知道是快樂？ 我們不能往前看到結果，也不能回到過去重頭開始，只能面對現在。無法知道結果之下，我們需要作出決定，希望這些決定不讓我們後悔。 生命中十居其九的狀況都是素未謀面，我們第一次接到試題便要作答，沒有模擬考試，舉手不能回，實在是多麼苛刻的考驗！我們都無知，都手足無措，過後回望可能會發覺自己的愚蠢，告訴自己下次不會，但沒有人知道還是否有下一次。 當我們在一個問題上裹足不前，拿不定主意，或者可以試試想像，哪一個做法會在事後回望叫我們感到快樂。 即使我今天多麼害怕，但當我想到有一天我回想今日，怎樣才會是一個快樂的回憶，我便知道該怎麼做。害怕只是短暫，將來根本不會記得。但我會記得和你一起的時間，我們曾經一起做過的事。到最後不就是回憶這回事嗎？"因為你，我會記得三點前的一分鐘。”
如果將東西簡化成如何創造最快樂的回憶，那麼一點困難都沒。沒有和喜歡的人多花點時間肯定會變成後悔的回憶；即使面對困難想退縮，為了避免叫人難過的回憶自然便會勇往直前。快樂的過程，即使當時不自知，也會變成快樂的回憶。如果只求快樂的結果，那麼你準會失望。
