Can't wait...Norwegian Forest!

愛,像覆水難收

真正的愛,超越生命的長度、心靈的寬度、靈魂的湛深度;

愛的力量大到可以使人忘記一切,卻又小到連一粒嫉妒的沙石也不能容納;

快樂要懂得分亨,才能加倍的快樂;

要糾正別人之前,先反省自己有沒有犯錯。

Trainer: I got you a christmas present.
Me: Really?
Trainer: It is this " fun " glute machine.
Me: Where is the "fun"?
Trainer: it was a special gift.
Me: Can I return it for something else?
Trainer: oh too bad, there is no return or refund.
Me: LOL, oh I love it, so I can put in the middle of living room.
Trainer: That's right, you can work on your glute "all" the time.
Me: Yeah, that's is "all" I need.

忍

大度忍讓

人之相處,以和為貴,以忍為高。忍也者,胸中博宏之器局,洞明世事人情之泱泱大度,閱盡人間滄桑之圓活表現,有 如明月入懷,心胸開闊明朗,既隱含著禮讓、包容、寬恕之高逸情操,復閃爍著深厚卓越之智慧、涵養、定力。

忍之為義,大矣:「貧者能忍免辱,富者能忍保家,父子能忍慈孝,兄弟能忍義篤,朋友能 忍情長,夫婦能忍和睦。」其奧義又或如俗諺所云:「忍字可以走天下,忍字可以結近鄰。」又或 者:「能忍一時之氣,可免百日之憂。能忍人所不能忍,世間一片祥和,宇宙一片清靜。」誠然, 生活中,誤會、爭執、齟齬、挑釁、誣衊、詆毀、謾罵、欺侮、咒詛、刁難、中傷、誹謗之事,真 是無日無之,但卻又在所難免,偶一遇上,亦唯其能忍始能免吵、息爭、消怨、去恨,化干戈為玉 帛。是以,古之智者,無不視忍為大智、大勇、大福之行為,並常將之比作修身、立命、成事、生 財之津梁,譬如孔子所言之「小不忍,則亂大謀」,周成王之「必有忍,其乃有濟;有容,德乃大」,王安石之「莫大之禍, 起於斯須之不忍」,又或佛家之「六度萬行,忍為第一」,斯所言者,俱是讓之道理,忍之法則,言簡意賅,發人深省。

現今社會,日趨複雜,人之交往,亦唯有學會忍讓,始能避禍就福,旋轉乾坤,捷徑就莫如吸取前人之智慧。中華民族
向以堅忍刻苦見稱,文化風氣所及,忍學典籍也特別豐富,簡明精要教材,俯拾即是。當中,有《勸忍百箴》最為人所樂道。 該書成於元代,以勸人忍性盡禮為話題,匯集了諸子百家之卓見,再加上作者許名奎之親身體會,編成箴言百條,分為言之 忍、色之忍、氣之忍、權之忍、貧之忍等,涵蓋了差不多生活上每一層面,被譽為中國最有系統之忍學經書。我等只須一書 在手,便可盡收前人智慧;神功妙用,說之不盡。有論者甚至言之鑿鑿,謂只消熟讀此書,便可頤養天年!事實是否果真如 此,還恕我未夠資格致評。不過,如果話作者心思慎密,手法巧妙,那我就一定贊同:作者以百忍為數,《百箴》為名,表 面看似湊巧,實則應是有所託寓───古諺“百忍成金”之說,不是已然呼之欲出?另外,作者將言之忍列為百忍之首,也 有異曲同工之妙,同樣是挖空心思之作。須知道,禍從口出,言多招悔,處世待人之第一戒條,正是慎言檢跡。作者之苦心 孤詣,我等真是不可不察。

紛爭之起,錯綜複雜,可謂無奇不有:有私人恩怨,有個人信念,有團體利益,有民族大義,還有社會風氣。我輩年幼
時,社會遠較現時貧困,但卻普遍崇尚堅忍、刻苦,所以我自小就要學習忍耐、吃苦、乃至吃虧(吃虧也是一種美德)。久而 久之,積習成常,忍讓差不多變成了我的恆常習慣。無論別人如何無禮,行為何等荒誕,我都能一笑置之。說來也好笑,有 很多人曾為此而替我感覺委屈,但我反而深感慶幸,能養成這份能耐。自忖,過去我所以能在做事和交友上受益無窮,其實 全賴忍讓所發揮之作用。隨著西風東漸,但見社會上之忍讓文化日漸式微,代之而起的是講求競爭及個人權利文化。忍讓, 或當作懦弱,或看成迂腐,一旦橫逆相加,便不論情理,即大動剛陽,但圖洩一時之忿;小則構怨于一時,大則貽害於終身。 人結果因此而缺少了寬待他人、為他人著想的心,越來越自我,常處於不滿和怪責別人的情緒中。最遺憾的是,高談個人權 益之餘,卻又不懂得以別人之權利為依歸,導致矛盾頻生。於是,生活中,無論是在家庭中,學校裡,社會上,無時不見衝 突發生。同事間、朋友間、夫妻間、鄰裏間,總會為了芝麻綠豆般的瑣事,爭個不休,小則惡言相向,大則拳腳交加,甚至 訴諸法庭,最後弄至兩敗俱傷。正是旁觀者惋惜,當事人後悔。不忍之患,可勝言哉?

凡事各執一詞,互不相讓,便會常陷僵局,如稍作轉圜,反而生機無限。忍讓精神,便是講乎體諒、包容、寬恕,求乎轉圜、生機。歷來相傳,有六字真言,可作轉圜,只要誠心運用,便能應付橫逆,扭轉乾坤。這六字真言就是:裝、忍、讓、 諒、恕、忘。意謂,當有人來犯時,只消裝作若無其事,不動聲色,忍以應之,繼而讓其發洩,但又諒其處境,再恕以待之, 然後忘卻了事。很明顯,這種息爭免吵的方法首重寬恕,其次是忘卻。學會寬恕別人,其實就是釋放自己。恕心養到極處, 人便恬然自安,只看得世間人都無過犯可憎之處,一切擾攘,不外天上雲煙,但隨清風而幻化幻滅。

事物之美,在其拙樸;朋友之誼,在於誠信;相處之道,貴乎和諧;和諧之道,本乎忍讓。此乃千古不變之定律,人之
未察,蓋因未嘗賦予生活一點智慧。

殘酷遊戲

誰能用毅力便換來感情 誰憑施捨可保得住慘勝
你有多大量 亦未敢領我的情
但就算是惡夢 拒絕甦醒
如何用玩命 換來溫柔
如何比她好 一樣不夠
談情像奮鬥 共誰在鬥
沒人道別亦知一早要走

其實自命受苦都只因我能離不離
看著對你愛得彷似愛情又避不避
若能耗盡力氣 去捕捉你
亦能剩下自己可挽救自己

我也知越是幻想不准想你更記得起
我在故意去將苦澀替代寂寞滋味
用殘酷遊戲 製造卑微
自由自在莫非慘過永遠受氣

對你怎麼好 亦無所圖 同情分多少 都也得到
明明避過你 未憑命數 明明極易活得比死更好

我也知越是幻想不准想你更記得起
我在故意去將苦澀替代寂寞滋味
用殘酷遊戲 製造卑微
自由自在莫非慘過永遠自欺

我也知道遠處有人愛惜我 也知做人無求最好不過
我肯知錯也是錯 我想知道也做到
埋頭事業便令大家好過

其實自命受苦都只因我能離不離
看著對你愛得彷似愛情又避不避
若能耗盡力氣 去捕捉你
亦明如何才可釋放我傷悲

若然被嫌棄 也是天理
自憐自虐自討苦吃貴客自理

Why Did He Stop Loving Me?

Why did he stop loving me?
How could he forget so fast?
Does he still feel love for me?
How could such sweet love not last?

I've learned I can't believe my eyes
Nor trust the instincts of my heart.
I look upon a sea of lies
Too wide to cross, too deep to chart.

And yet I am condemned to sail
Upon that sea awash in pain.
Love hides its truth behind a veil
That none may know they love in vain.

Will you come back?

Through the sleepless nights I cry for you
And wonder who is kissing you
Oh, these sleepless nights will break my heart in two

Somehow through the day I don't give in
I hide the tears that wait within
Oh, these sleepless nights will break my heart again

Why did you go, oh why did you go?
Don't you know, don't you know
I need you?

I keep hoping you'll come back to me
Oh let it be, please let it be
My love, please take these sleepless nights from me
Oh, these sleepless nights will break my heart in two

馬草泥x黃洋達:地產霸權製造新奴隸時代

Love is a wound in the body that has no outward sign....
Asia's World City
When love has come
But soon is gone
It begs the question
Was it there

The love was lost
And never found
Lost without you
Lost without me
Lost into eternity

The love was just a figment
A figment of our minds
Something we could ponder
But never express

Was it love or just a feeling
Was it love or just healing

Healing from the hatred
The hatred of our hearts
Our past was deep and full of pain
We needed this to release the stain

For this I do not regret
The time with you that I had spent

Happy Anniversary!

How ironic and sad at the same time, love is blind.

What do you know about GMO? It blows my mind away.

GMO QUIZ

The quiz taught me a few things and I realized now how much a trap it is to shop at conventional supermarket. Everything is in moderation, but if you don't want to eat GMO food, watch it carefully of where you shop and where to go out for food. Fresh local produce is the way to go.

Cool show.
