不笑白不笑

The first day of 2007 is cloudy. Moody cloudy.

So I decided to go for some graveyard shots... on my birthday ;)

To get insights of what people would write on thier gravestone!

I like what 趙善榮's idea on his:

我希望我的墓誌銘是：「一個認真生活，永不言棄的尋夢者。」

尋夢者。If there is such a job title, I'll definitely go for it now.

What would I write on my own?

Haha, probably this:

「旺鋪轉讓，價格面議．」

(quoted from here.)

Haha, I guess, it doesn't really matter. My life isn't all for that sentence on the gravestone that nobody would care.

***

I always thought that it's good to have a "dream" for life, to have a life-long "goal", where you need to sacrifice yourself, and bearing the side-effects to your family.

But then, today I read something that I haven't thought of. Oh well, actually she did tell me that... "find a balance".

生活，就是為了好好生活

每當我專注一個目標
而全力以赴時，
生活的節奏和韻律
就開始紊亂；
自我也變得模糊、疏離。

而社會不就是如此地
目標導向，
來追求成功和卓越嗎？

但究竟有多少目標，
偉大到一個地步，
得犧牲掉 ──
生活本身的神聖性？

生活不是為了一個目標，
生活，就是為了
好好生活。

品嚐佳餚，泡杯好茶，
讓音樂伴奏人生，
暢快地運動，
舒服沐浴、好夢入眠，
鑑賞美景，品味藝術，
享受閱讀，
書寫心裡的感動。
活在愛中，
虔誠地禱告。

這不是沒有目標，
而是拒絕 ──
為目標而生活。

它將目標融化為生活。
在享受與沉醉之際，
不知不覺
實現了目標。

就像是老子的「無以為」 ──
無所「為」而為。
功成、事遂，
我自然。

新一年，快快樂樂的活下去。
