Family dysfunction rolls down from generation to generation, like a fire in the woods, taking down everything in its path until one person in one generation has the courage to turn and face the flames. That person brings peace to their ancestors and spares the children that follow - Terry Real

Nothing is ever lost.
Not time; for what seems to have passed, lives on in the wisdom of future decisions.

有幸得到別人稱贊,禮貌的謝謝就好,但最好不要當真。

如果別人一稱贊、我們就當真,那之後別人的詆毀、我們也會當真。

然後,我們就會漸漸活在別人的評價裡,難以脫身。 ~ [ 為你自己活一次 ] • 康永
【聰明征服世界,單純卻征服靈魂】- 榮格

我的個案中,不乏聰明人。
能在生命不同的高低起跌中打滾仍能活着,靠的,都是能力。
當中,又以黑社會或毒癮者尤甚。
當我們的世代不斷追捧聰明、成就,赢要赢到盡。而往往,這些人的人生,跌得最痛。
生命,是相對的。當我們有赢人之心,就自然怕輸。當怕輸時,就自然輸了。
當我們看淡輸赢,甚至雲淡風輕,自然就少了許多勾心鬥角與爭執。
我執我執,執迷的不是別人,只有我。
因為食物、生活、資訊科技發達,很多人都擁有不同程度的聰明。也因此,讓人經歷到,不同程度的苦與痛。
然而,聰明,不代表有智慧;有悟性,也不代表能開悟。
世間萬物之運行,不是在那輸赢之中,不是在那聰明與愚蠢之中。
而是在我們心中。
視乎我們的內心,有多單純。
很喜歡心理學大師榮格的一番話:
「你越是聰明,你的單純就越愚笨。
最聰明的也是在單純處最愚笨的。
想要拯救自身免於時代精神的聰明,
我們不能靠增加自己的聰明,
反而要接受那竭力反對這聰明智慧的,
也就是單純。
但我們也不能沉溺於單純,
故意讓自己變成傻子,而是要成為聰明的傻子。
聰明征服世界,單純卻征服靈魂。
事情都是相對的,亦是有度的。」
最後,我最想說的,單純,其實就是修心。越簡單,其實越難。
