小學生傳奇 1.4

又或者,你感到很困惑:為什麼地球人會愚昧到那個程度呢?

其實,我已經一早 transcend (看破)了這個疑惑。

(安:「transcend」是什麼意思?)

「transcend」不是指「解決」問題,而是更高的一個層次。「transcend」是指,直情令到該個問題,和我沒有關係,影響不到我。

其實,這個要點在數個星期前講過。你有這個疑惑不安,是因為你的「世界模型」假設了「人是理性的動物」,而現實又往往相反。所以,你只要把你的假設修改成「人是瘋狂的怪獸」,很多在日常生活你原本不能解釋的現象,都會解釋到。你就再不會感到疑惑不安。

另外,你的人生閱歷還未夠多。如果你見得足夠多人,經歷得足夠多事的話,你自然會發現,有部分人會比你想像中的最極端情況,更加愚昧。

(安:如果依你所說,假設「人是瘋狂的怪獸」的話,我都同意,我的「疑惑不安」會小很多。但是,那仍未解決「在日常生活和工作中,應如何面對和應付那些愚昧的人」的問題。)

正正是因為這樣,我剛才才會問你:「那樣,對你的應世,構成什麼實際的問題?」

(安:我的目的就是,要帶出我的論點,令到他人明白。)

我不是指,你當時的目的是什麼。我是指,你描述這個情況給我聽,是想帶出什麼問題,或者解決什麼問題?

(安:問題就是,我表達完一些東西之後,發現效果和「沒有表達過」沒有分別,覺得十分浪費時間。)

那會構成什麼實質的問題?例如,會不會因為你上司沒有能力理解你的解說,而導致他扣減你的薪金?

(安:那又不會。)

那就即是不是實質問題,而只不過是你不開心。如果不是不開心的話,就是你心裡不舒服。又或者,你感到很困惑:為什麼地球人會愚昧到那個程度呢?

其實,我已經一早 transcend (看破)了這個疑惑。

Operating system 3

No one cares what operating system you run as long as it stays up.

— Bruce Perens

That’s why the best choice of software is often no software — and barring that, as little software as you can possibly get away with, and even then, only from the most reputable and reliable sources.

— Coding Horror

— by Jeff Atwood

The greatest of rulers hardly dwells upon the minds of his subjects,
Lesser than this they forever draw near and laud him with great praise,
Lesser than this the people are held in his frightening awe and fear,
Lesser than this the people revile and curse him.
   
太上,下知有之;
其次,親而譽之;
其次畏之;
其次侮之。

— Laozi (Wikisource translation)

旅程

The smallest possible step, 8

To finish the moment, to find the journey’s end in every step of the road, to live the greatest number of good hours, is wisdom.

– Emerson

The journey is the destination.

當你到達目的地後, 你會發現, 你的最大收穫是, 你的旅程.

心海 2 C

愛情,建基於神秘感。

.

有了神秘感,就可以將對方理想化。

了解太深時,一切也不理想。

.

過份相熟的人之間,不會有愛情的感覺。

所以,對於一部分的人來說,結婚是愛情感覺的終結。

.

減輕這個問題的方法是,保持距離。

.

令到這個問題從來,不會出現的方法是,雙方都要有

1. 完整的人格  和

2. 無盡的心思。

心海 2 E

Romantic Love depends on uncertainty.

Uncertainty allows idealization.

.

No uncertainty, no idealization.

That’s why close people cannot have romantic love.

That’s why a couple’s romance keeps decreasing.

.

The way to reduce this problem is to have a distance.

.

The way to transcend this problem is to have

1. integrity in your heart  and

2. an infinite intellectual world in your mind.

Memento 3 E

電腦輪迴觀 3 E

Reincarnation is a process of “Memento”.

If reincarnation does exist, the cause of most people do not know the meaning of life is that they have forgotten what has happened before their current lives.

Studying history is a good way to reduce this problem.

Memento 2

Physics and Love 2

.

What can you take when you die?

Your Love and your Physics.

.

1. Do recite the important parts so that you can keep your research after this life.

2. Write as much and as good as I can so that I can save the materials in humanity so that I can get them back when I come back.

樹 | 根, 2

超世 3

樹要往高往上往光輝處生,根要往下往深往黑暗處長。

— 改篇自尼采

A man does not show his greatness by being at one extremity, but rather by touching both at once.

— Blaise Pascal

越能入世的人越能出世;越能出世的人越能入世。

魔間傳奇 2.6

千萬不要原諒壞人,除非對方已經真心悔改,願意盡力彌補自己的過錯。

我第一步會對人好。如果對方都對我好的話,我會對他更好。如果對方對我不好的話,我不會再對他好。但是,我亦不會對他不好,因為,我會直情不再跟他相處。

人生苦短,不應花任何一秒在壞人身上。

Endless sea

Teaching is not filling a vase, but lighting a fire.

-– Michel de Montaigne

Teaching is not filling a vase, but lightning a fire.

— Me@2005, 2010.01.05

If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.

— Antoine de Saint Exupery
