在守護者當中,當變臉羅夏發現了智者的計謀,揭穿事實似乎是他對於正義的表現,但是卻又是另一場戰爭的開始 ;在羅賓威廉斯所演的風雲人物當中,計票系統開發員無意中發現了臭蟲,揭露事實似乎是正義的表現,但是卻讓有志氣有抱負的準總統失卻了一表長才的機會;在公司的裁員的部分,姑且不論高階主管的私利,不將資歷年長的員工裁員,似乎也是合乎公平正義,但是遺留下來退休金的龐大債務,卻又是公司倒閉而讓全體員工失業的原因之一;遭遇金融海嘯,美國前五大保險公司搖搖欲墜,紛紛向聯邦政府要求金援,不救似乎是較合乎公平正義原理,但是當保險業龍頭都關門大吉的同時,另一場金融風暴將緊接而至......

對牛彈琴

從前從前有個很喜歡吃糖的小孩,總是會在媽媽身邊大聲囔囔吵著要吃糖,起初媽媽與小孩約法三章,而這個小孩也都很遵守著這個約定,但是卻不知從何時開始,小孩的媽媽漸漸給的糖開始越來越少,小孩剛開始雖然覺得奇怪,但是因為體諒媽媽,覺得一定是有什麼原因,因此總是在囔囔要糖吃卻得不到糖時,就摸摸鼻子自討無趣;直到某天,小孩發現媽媽不是給的糖越來越少,而是根本就不給糖吃了,於是乎小孩便天真的想要知道怎麼了,這時媽媽卻說,你太常囔囔吵著要糖了,這代表了你太常吃糖了,難道要滿足你所有的願望,而且吃糖是可有可無的事,更何況你大聲囔囔吵著要糖讓我不喜歡;雖然小孩滿腹委屈,難道沒吃到糖而吵著要糖吃就代表胃口變大,難道小孩吃糖是什麼可恥的事,有哪個小孩不是吃糖長大的,更何況他吃的糖跟別人相比已經很少了,人類不是就偏好吃甜食,為什麼媽媽不跟大家一樣吃糖,還非常排斥吃糖,為什麼吃個糖好像是件見不得人的事,為什麼吃個糖要這樣被人數落,為什麼吃個糖要像跟人乞求一樣,而且不大聲囔囔根本就不可能會有糖果可以吃,照這個邏輯下去難道他以後都不用再吃糖了;雖然如此,小孩還是乖乖的不再大聲囔囔,但是他卻始終懷疑著,而媽媽卻以為小孩不再大聲囔囔就代表著他不再想要吃糖,所有的問題都迎刃而解......

唉,牛牽到北京還是牛......

今天妳問我說兩年有沒有很久?我想對我來說,我永遠不會嫌久,我不會用時間來衡量,因為愛情並不是有保存期限的食品,對我來說,我只會嫌為什麼沒有早點認識妳,為什麼時光過的這麼匆忙,因為跟你在一起的每一天都是快樂的;嗯!今天是兩週年紀念日,雖然說紀念日這種東西,只是形式上而已,一年、兩年、三年.......,這只不過是數字上的迷思,要不然也可以講成一百天或兩百天的紀念日,只要換個形式,天天都馬可以是紀念日;講是這麼講啦,但是就像是在情人節當天,你會說情人節也是種形式嗎?當你被週遭的人都閃的時候,你還會這麼覺得嗎?又或是當人人都拉著另一半開心的出遊時,這時你才發現你的另一半宅在家裡打電動,真不知道該怎麼形容這種感受。哭哭,天殺的牙齒偏偏又在這時候捉弄我,真是一路悶到底。

祝咬咬


今年過年回苗栗拜拜,之後在朋友家聊天,聽著我媽跟朋友口沫橫飛的聊著她對我家妮妮的養狗經,聽著聽著不禁想起了咬咬,不知道咬咬現在過的好不好,是不是還是跟原本一樣胖嘟嘟的,是不是還是一樣害怕到外頭溜達,是不是還是一樣喜歡跟人搶枕頭;這張是從小暖的相簿發現的,我之前都不知道還有這張的說,據小暖描述,這張照片是因為我睡的太死了,結果沒有讓出枕頭來給咬咬,他就開始對我洗腦,哈哈,最後希望咬咬可以跟我家妮妮一樣無憂無慮、集三千寵愛於一身。

新訓心得(一)

好吧!先聲明一下這篇文章算是滿負面的想法。首先先來講軍中的生活,其實軍中的生活方式跟我以前去過的魔鬼訓練營很像,只不過在軍中體能上會非常的操,當然跟到什麼樣的連長操的程度就真的有差別,像我們連上就算是真的很操,至少跟這一營其他兩個連比起來,我們可以說是有天壤之別吧!不過就像阿毛說的,說真的操久了後,如果今天比昨天操得少,就會覺得今天比較涼;在剛開始會不適應,我想除了體騰上無法負荷以外,另一個最大的主因應該就是自己的時間真的非常的少,從早到晚真的有永無止盡的事等著去做,每天直到休息的前一刻,都還是繃緊神經的狀態;其實再累的生活方式,只要你找到了適應或調適的方法,你就會漸漸的習慣,再忙的生活,只要抓到了模式,就能從中忙裡偷閒。

故事到這裡就有了完美結局了嗎?當然不是,說真的,新環境只要時間久了,你就會自己慢慢的適應,但是觀念上的不適應,我想就算是時間再久,也無法去調整或配合;其實在入伍之前獲知後,我都一直覺得我當兵的意義就是去鍛鍊自己的體能以及去認識各種不同的朋友,這想法直到我們第一次上了靶場作射擊後,完全的顛覆了我的想法;在靶場當我聽到第一聲槍聲後,我整個人事非常的震驚,雖然在高中的時候就有做過實彈射擊,但是我那時並沒有太多的印象,而這次的實彈射擊,真的是讓我感到太震驚了,那子彈射出後的巨響以及對肩窩的撞擊,對我的腦中好像是一次次的擊打,腦中所思考的,並不是耳鳴所帶來的刺痛感,或是肩膀的疼痛,不斷在我腦海盤旋的是當這子彈打中人的情景;當打靶結束之後,旁邊的人紛紛開始討論自己射擊的成績,還有當有人說實彈射擊是最好玩的操課,而大家一起附合時,我只想問一句話:槍這種東西真的有這麼兒戲嗎?或許會有人說我很娘,但是射擊完的當下,我只覺得我恨透了這把槍,並且重新思考了這入伍從軍的意義。

在大家的觀念中男人入伍從軍、保家衛國是天經地義的事,當過兵後,就能讓你成唯一個真正的男人,這我不否認,在軍中確實能讓許多從未與父母脫離,並且從未獨自在外的人學習獨立,但是這都算是當兵的副屬而已,說白一點,當兵的主要意義就是訓練你成唯一部殺人機器,從射擊訓練,到刺槍術以及單兵訓練,這些都是教導你如何在作戰時,如何殺死敵人並且存活下來,"殺死敵人",聽起來好像是個遊戲,只要幹掉敵人我們就會得到勝利。容我說一句,幹!!!!!!!!!現再提到的是一個活生生的人,不是遊戲裡面死掉以後還是可以釋放靈魂撿屍體的虛擬人物,在操課中做的任何動作練習都是為了殺人而做,難道大家都能夠這樣等閒視之嗎?不要說那麼多廢話,只要腳色互換一下,今天被射擊中的那個人,今天被刺槍刺中的那個人,不是敵人而是妳,這是一個多麼悲哀的話題,我不相信每個人都有那麼堅強的意志,當你面前站著一個活生生的人,一個上有高堂下有妻兒的"敵人",而能輕描淡寫的扣下板機。或許會有人說,這麼多的廢話,每個人都像你一樣,那國家沒有軍人,是不是就等著別國來欺負好了;對,我承認,我就是沒有那麼的堅強,我就是沒有辦法承擔這沉重的包袱,或許又會有人認為我太小題大作,但這本來就是當兵的核心價值,你可以選擇視而不見,但是對我來說,這就是一層很大的陰影,我無法對其不去思考、不去揣摩。

Every business, regardless of size, must carefully identify and plan its shorts and long term goals.More importantly, every business must attempt to strike a balance between the two and make sure that one dose not dominate the other. If some businesses want to get huge profits and quick returns, for example, by pirating name brands such as Christian Dior, Chanel, and Lancome, business relations are doubtless infected thoroughly with the disease of short-sighted motives. Fortunately, there is plenty of evidence suggesting that business often look well beyond short-term goals.

The desire to generate a profit lies at the heart of every business, and this desireis the chief element that prevent business from placing too much emphasis on short-term goals. In order to maintain a steady increase in profits, a company must continually upgrade its products or services, and this objective can be accomplished only by establishing long-term goals. These types of goals enable businesses to meet the future demands of their customers and not to fall behind the completition. Conversely, any business that focuses too much upon short-term srategies will not only minimize its profits, but also jeopardize its existece.

"A nation must maintain a highly competitive educational system--a system in which students compete among themselves and against students from other countries--to ensure its own economic success."


The claim in question is that if a nation is to ensure its own economic success, it must maintain a highly competitive educational system in which students compete among themselves and against students from other countries. I strongly disagree for the following reasons.

First of all, a country must be good at what it already dose, not at what other countries are good at doing. Only in this way will it be competitive. For example, consider two countries, A and B. Country A is good at producing bicycles very affordably and country B is good at manufacturing computers very affordably. The intelligent thing to do, guided by the above claim, would be to have everybody in country A schooled in computer science and everybody in country B schooled in the technology of bicycles. But this is pure nonsense, at least if trade flows freely between A and B. A will make (and sell) what it is good at making, and B will do the same.

In addition, different people learn in different ways, and what is good for the people of one country might not be good for the people of another. A highly competitive education in which students compete among themselves might work in one place but not in another. Furthermore, overemphasis on scholastic competition and high grades can undermine freedom of thought, something that a country needs if it is to be economically competitive. With freedom of thought comes inventiveness and originality, which are essential ingredients in any successful economy.

Finally, the success of a country depends not just on its economic performance. Part of its success depends also on its level of culture--its awareness of its own history, its appreciation for the arts, its love of books, and so forth. However wealthy a country is, it is something less than successful if it is devoid of culture. Evidently, a successful country must also educate its citizens about its culture-- a kind of education that has little to do with achieving economic success.

In summary, I strongly disagree with the claim that if a nation is to ensure its own economic success, it must maintain a highly competitive educational system in which students compete among themselves and against students from other countries. I strongly disagree because a country must be good at what it already dose, not at what other countries are good at doing. Moreover, different people learn in different ways, and what is good for the people of another country. Finally, the success of a country depends not just on its economic performance.

"The most effective way for managers to assign works is to divide complex tasks into their simpler component parts. This way, each worker completes a small portion of the task but contributes to the whole."


It is sometimes difficult to discuss people's views about whether the most effective way for managers to assign work is to divide complex tasks into their simpler component parts, because it is such a multifaceted question. While the first reaction of some people may be to disagree with this statement, I feel it is worthy of deeper consideration. In my opinion, there are three reasons to agree with this statement.
First of all, breaking a complex task down into its parts and assigning each part to a certain worker (or group of workers) takes advantage of the fact that different people have different skills. For instance, the complex task of putting up a high-rise building might require as many as hundred sets of skills, or trades such as electricians, pipe fitters, insulators, and crane operators. One part of the job would call for qualifications in electrical work, still another in crane operating, and so forth.
In addition, by providing a complex task into its component parts, the very job of overseeing this task becomes that much more manageable. For example, in delegating different parts of the job to different groups of works, it becomes that much easier for the supervisor to schedule and monitor the output of each group. If one part of the job is behind schedule, the supervisor will know which group to single out as being responsible for the delay. Beside, of another part is ahead of schedule, then he will know which group to praise. Indeed, in delegating different portion of the job to those in charge of the various trades, the supervisor dose not have to get bogged down with trying to "micro-manage" the details of the task.
Finally, when a task is broken down into its parts and each part is assigned to a certain worker (or group of workers), it is easier to complete the job on time. Consider, again, the construction of a high-rise building, and how long it would take if the electrical work could not begin until the plumbing was completed, and the heating ducts could not be installed until the electrical work was completed. Consider, by contrast, how much faster it would be when the wiring, plumbing, and heating ducts could be installed at more or less the same time by the different trade workers. It is when a complex task is broken down into clearly distinctive parts that it becomes possible to plan for having different trade workers working on different parts of the job at the same time.
In summary, for the reasons and example just cited, I firmly believe that the most effective way to manage a complex task is to divide it into its component parts. The approach makes the most of the fact that different people have different skills. Furthermore, it also makes the task of managing much easier. Finally, this approach to a complex task shortens the time it takes to complete the task.

"Technology ultimately separates and alienates people more than it serves to bring them together."

It is always a controversial issue whether technology separates and alienates people more than it serves to bring them together. From my point of view, technology has done more to bring people together than to separate or alienate them. Therefore, I disagree with the statement. Here are some reasons why.

First of all, technology has brought about a revolution in the way we communicate with each other through the use of cellular phones and the Internet. Thanks to these new mediums of communication, people are brought closer together. With access to cellular phones or the Internet, I am now only seconds away from communicating with distant friends. With access to these devices, the geographical distance between acquaintances matters much less than it did in the past. I can still maintain close contact with my family and friends, even if they are on the other side of the world. Evidently, technology makes people become closer than ever.

In addition, technology has given us the means to travel great distances in relatively short periods of time for a relatively cheap price. Imagine having to travel overseas to visit your parents had you all lived a mere hundred year ago. Think of both the time and money such a trip would have cost! Now compare the difficulties of this trip a century ago with the relative ease and comfort of the same trip today. The technical innovations in transportation, as well as in communication, have only served to bring us closer together.

In summary, I strongly disagree with the worn-out idea that technology ultimately separates and alienates people more than it serves to bring them together. To the contrary, technology improves our ability to talk to each other. Also, it improves our ability to travel and see each other. Apparently, technological innovations in both transportation and in communication that were noted in the preceding paragraphs unite people in different locations.

"Instead of relying on the advice of outside experts, organizations should place greater value in the advice that can come only from their own highly experienced employees."


The issue is whether organizations should place greater value on the advice only from their own highly experienced employees rather than on the advice of outside experts. For the following reasons, I strongly disagree with the company they work for.

First of all, although the employees can be just as capable as the outside experts, what they lack is objectivity. Just as an author is not very capable of reviewing his/her own works, he/she needs independent outside editors to review the works impartially. If the situation involved the opinion of inexperienced outside people against the opinion of the employees, of course, the outside opinion should be discounted. However, as experts, they should be just as technically knowledgeable as the employees of the particular organization should. Presumably, the experts have studied the particular industry or organization and are able to comment on facts or figures objectively.

In addition, employees are attached to the company they work for and are less able than experts to view current company prospects effectively. For example, if a company is doing its share as the dominant industry leader, its employees are unwilling to believe the news and/or try to put a good spin on the bad news. Their jobs and livelihood are at stake if the company is losing money; therefore, they cannot see the complete picture as clearly as an outside expert who gives advice based on the facts.

In conclusion, independent experts are more capable of giving more realistic advice, whether good or bad in nature, than employees can, since employees tend to be optimists. Besides, most employees are not very effective in looking at the plain facts and figure; they bring biases and emotions into the picture.

"Employees should not be asked to provide formal evaluations of their supervisor because they have little basis for judging or understanding their supervisor's performance."

The assertion in question is that employees should not be asked to provide formal evaluations of their supervisor's performance. I disagree with this assertion for the following three reasons.

First of all, employees are in fact competent to evaluate the performance of their supervisor. It is nonsense to suggest that they have little basis for judging a supervisor's performance. More than anybody else, it is the people working directly "below" the supervisor who are in a position to assess his performance. Obviously, it is they who are most familiar with the work environment overseen by their supervisor. With a first-hand understanding of their jobs, they are perfectly competent to judge him on such relevant matters as team leadership and clarity of communication.

In addition, a formal evaluation of a supervisor reflects how is viewed by his subordinates. These evaluations do more than provide information for his employers: they also provide him with valuable information as well - such as guidance on how he might improve himself as a supervisor. Even those evaluations that he deems mistaken or unfair can prove to be important, if only for the simple reason that they alert him to a misunderstanding between his subordinates and himself that should be cleared up.

Finally, a formal evaluation of a supervisor gets the employees to think about their relation to their supervisor in a fairly intelligent way. With an official way in which to communicate their concerns in writing, they have to articulate them in a constructive way. Moreover, without any official mechanism by which to communicate their grievances, their talk may turn into vicious gossip. Besides, with a means to communicate their concerns at their disposal, they have less reason to whine that "Nobody listen to us."

In summary, I disagree with the assertion that employees should not be asked to provide formal evaluations of their supervisor. First, the argument is simply false that they have no basis for the supervisor as to how he might improve himself in the job. Finally, with an official mechanism of communicating in place, the employees are encouraged to criticize in a constructive way.

我從來都不知道我是這麼的害怕寂寞;一直以來我承認我是很喜歡吵雜人多的感覺,但是我也一直認為我自己也不會排斥寂靜的時刻,悠閒的坐在窗邊看著人來人往的大街、看著自己喜歡的書或沉澱一下自己繁雜的心靈,一切都是這麼的自在,至少我是這樣認為;但是我不知道是不是壓力抑或是雜亂的心情,一切都不像預期般;當寂寞無預警的開始,凌亂的心情只想坐在電視前,漫無目的地從第一台轉到最後一台,再從最後一台轉回第一台,如此週而復始的持續循環;或是坐在電腦前沒有意識般的看著螢幕發呆,接著當你意識到這一天就這樣混阿晃的過去了,本來該做的事卻未完成的罪惡感忽然油然而生,當寂寞與罪惡感交織的產生,感覺就像一股巨大無形的壓力,壓的胸口無法呼吸,但卻又不知該如何宣洩,一股腦的氣就像是顆不定時炸彈,只想往路過的人砸過去;我一直都不知道我竟然會被寂寞如此的敏感,寂寞,我認識你了。

Issue 1

There are essentially two forces that motivate people: self-interest and fear.”
Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the opinion stated above. Support your position with reasons and/or examples from your experience, observation, or reading.


Views differ greatly when it comes to the issue of whether there are essentially two forces which are self-interest and fear that motivate people. While some people consider that everyone is selfish, others hold the view that people have good side. My personal experience and actual observations of life have led me to strongly maintain that self-interest and fear are essentially to forces that motivate people.

First of all, economist has said that everyone is self-interest, and it can make economy have optimal situation. Although people might think that the man who is selfish is not popular, they do not actually know what their daily life is full of selfish behaviors. Even the easier thing in daily life like buying, no one wants to buy expensive thing if it can be got cheaper one. Someone might say that there are still lots of people who donate their fortune and do not get gain any reward. At first glance, it seems that these people do not want get any repay, but after deeply though it can be found that they are still the selfish people. For example, lots of corporations contribute fund to build the hospital. It seems that they really want to contribute to their country. However, more money they donate, more reduction of tax they can get. Furthermore, administering a hospital is also a way to make money.

In addition, people are not only motivated by self-interest but also by fear. It is instinctive for people to avoid any dangerous situation or hazard. Even infant knows that using crying to express fear and avoid it. Furthermore, people fear beast so that they build the house. People fear hungry so that they cultivate rice. In society with legal system, the reason why people legislate against violent is a good example to demonstrate that people are motivated by fear.

In summary, on the basis of the reasons presented above, I must wholeheartedly agree that self-interest and fear are essentially to forces that motivate people. We can say that the best reason to explain every human does is self-interest and fear.

Argument 2

The following appeared as part of the business plan of the Capital Idea investment firm.
“Across town in the Park Hill district, the Thespian Theater, Pizzazz Pizza, and the Niblick Golf Club have all had business increase within the past two years. Capital Ideal should therefore invest in the Roxy Playhouse , the Slice-o’-Pizza, and the Divot Golf Club, three new business in the Irongate district. As a condition, we should require them to participate in a special program: Any customer who patronizes two of the business will receive a substantial discount at the third. By motivating customers to patronize all three, we will thus contribute to the profitability of each and maximize our return.”


In this plan, the writer recommends that Capital Idea should invest in the Roxy Playhouse, the Slice-o'-Pizza, and the Divot Golf Club, three new businesses in the Irongate district, and participate in a special program. In support of this recommendation, he points out that in the Park Hill district, the same businesses have all had account increases within the past two years. While the plan seem to be somewhat convincing at first glance, a deeper investigation will reveal that the recommendation does not take into account the unique condition of every district. Doubtless, faulty analogy makes the argument problematic in several respect.

First of all, the writer cites that the Thespian Theater, Pizzazz Pizza, and the Niblick Golf Club across town in the Park Hill district have all had business increases within the past two years. However, he forgets to compare difference between two districts. Whether it is a residential district or industrial estate, different type of ditrict has totally different strategy of investment. For example, Park Hill district might be a residential district. Thus, the residents are going to have fun at those entertaining businesses, and make those businesses increase. Yet, if the Irongate district is a industrial estate, the final result would be reverse. Needless to say, no one wants to have fun there. According to this assumption, it is not a good idea to invest in the Irongate district.

In addition, the author also recommends that any customer who patronize two of the businesses will receive a substantial discount at the third. Nevertheless, not every customer has enough money to consume three of their businesses. For instance, playing golf needs some equipments which are not afforded for everybody. Furthermore, each of business has their own customer, some are teenages and some are elder. The younger might rather go to theather than play golf. On the other hand, the elder might not like eat pizza because of teeth. Therefore, deeper investigation is nescessery to support this recommendation.

In summary, the writer should reconsider his plan, and look for more evidence to support his position. He uses incredibly circumstantial evidence to make a plan on investing three new businesses in the Irongate district. Only one district booming last two year does not mean it will success everywhere. Therefore, it does not makes me find this plan well-reasoned.

Argument 1

Restaurant. Hippocrene has apparently been quite successful there because it is planning to open a large outlet in a nearby city.But the Cumquat Cafe, one year after moving to its new location , has seen its volume of business drop somewhat from the previous year's. Clearly, the fomer site is a better business location, and the Cumquat Cafe has made a mistake in moving to its new address."


In this article, the writter says that the Cumquat Cafe has made a mistake in moving to the new address.In support of this argument, he points out that while Hippocrene Plumbing Supply has apparently benn quite successful by opening a wholesale outlet in the location once occupied by the Cumquat Cafe Restaurant, the Cumquat Cafe, one year after moving to its new location , has seen its volume of business drop somewhat from the previous year's. However, I do not think the argument is logiclly convincing because some of the premises on which its conclusion rests are highly questionable. Here are some reasoms why.

First of all, the argument wrongly assumes that the company Hippocrene Plumbing Supply and Cumquat Cafe Restaurant are analogous.Because they have totally different competors, it can not compare their profit directly.For instance, if the location now occupied by the Hippocrene Plumbing Supply is lack of wholesale outlet , comsumers might have no choice but comsumig at new opening wholesale outlet. However, if the location nearby is full of cafe restaurant, the Cumquat Cafe Restaurant has to compete with other rivals. In this situation, the Cumquat Cafe Restaurant does not make a mistake in moving to find a better business location where has less same business competors.

In addition, the editorial does not look at the economical condition surrounding the whole world. Perhaps, the whole world had ressesion or serious inflation in last year.Therefore, the Cumquat Cafe which has seen its volume of business drop somewhat from the previous year's does not mean having made a wrong decision. Furthemore, the Cumquat Cafe Restaurant just has business in new location in first year. Thus, it probably isn't popular there. Comparing to the past, the restaurant had more constantly comsumer than now.If the Cumquat Cafe Restaurant has some advertisement or discount this year, it might make restaurant more comsumers.

In summary, the conclusion lacks credibility because the evidence cited in the analysis dose not lend strong support to what the author claims. Even if the Cumquat Cafe Restaurant's business has drop, the writter still can not clonclue that the company has made a mistake. To strengthen the argument, the author would have to consider all other possible factors that affect the companys' business and the surrounding condition near two location.

[轉錄]世界上有兩種人

這世界上有兩種人
一種人的心本身就是飽滿的
只是有個最特別的位置
等著放一張最特別的椅子
給一個最特別的人坐
而另外一種人

他們的心卻是
天生就被鏤刻了一個位置
同樣等著給一個最特別的人坐

第一種人
他們本身就是完整的
他們自己就可以活得很快樂
等到那個特別的人真的出現時
他們會活得更開心

可是第二種人呢
在那個最特別的人出現前
他們都要忍受著心上的一個洞
無法停止的感受到一種空缺寂寞和蕭索
他們努力的轉移注意力
在白天和朋友狂歡出去逛街看看書看看電影
也可以暫時說服自己生活是美好的
但是每到晚上月光從窗口偷偷的流瀉進來的時候
才發現地上的陰影是多麼的破碎而不完整

你是第一種人還是第二種人
往往是天生的
就算不甘心也很難改變
誰想要天生就帶著一個缺口呢
而缺口的形狀是那麼獨特
除了真愛的人以外學業家庭友情事業是很難完全填補它的
可能可以硬塞上去吧
但是密不密合貼不貼切
自己感受的到......

第二種人又可細分為兩型
第一型叫做要坐不坐隨緣型
第二型叫做削足適履型
怎麼說
第一型的人不管天生被鏤刻的座椅是流線形還是人體工學椅
他不會為了要配合要坐的人而改變自己的形狀
若是無法完全契合
可能幾次的衝突爭執後他會收回那個人坐的權利
反正他不適合可能有更天生訂作的人

但是
第二型的人呢
他們心上也有著獨一無二的形狀
但是他們更傻他們會為了認定的人改變自己心的形狀
今天他們不輕易放人走近他們的心
可是一旦有人穿越重重關卡解開了一道道鎖
那麼那個人將是全世界擁有最大權利的人
今天不管那個人是正是方是扁是圓

第二型的人永遠會改變自己去配合那個人
有時是對自己施加壓力
有時是強迫自己削去菱角
甚至
有時是拿著刀一片片的把多餘的部分都割掉
自傲自尊驕縱任性這時候都可以不要
只為了再下一次的見面時
可以若無其事的微笑對那個人說:
"你看我們不是天生一對嗎?"
夜裏流血的痛楚動刀時內心的掙扎與恐懼
都抵不過更強大的一股愛的力量

世界上有為了自己愛的人像刻木頭一樣拿刀刻自己更傻的事嗎

沒有

但是世界上有為了愛人改變自己堅持了半輩子的個性習慣更幸福的事嗎

沒有

這是愛情
==================================================
如果
你知道身邊有朋友是第二種人
拜託不要責怪他不獨立不要責怪他沒有愛情活不下去
他若是可以也很想活得瀟灑點的

如果
你知道那個人不但是第二種人還是其中的第二型
拜託不要罵他每次交一個男(女)朋友就好像重新誕生一次
分手離開時又好像死了一次
他很辛苦的
每一次的真愛他為了對方裁切自己的心
被拋棄時被切割得零零落落的心是那麼無助與悲哀
陪伴他
安慰他
鼓勵他
讓他流光血後還有力氣長出新肉還有力量去等待下一個人

如果剛剛好
愛你的人就是這樣的一個愛情傻子
請好好珍惜他(她)吧
在別人眼裡這樣的他可能不聰明甚至還有些愚蠢
但是對他來說愛你(妳)
一切都值得
每一分每一秒都是永恆
他絕對不可能想像除了你(妳)還有別人
別讓他在離開你(妳)後剩下的是一顆破碎不堪的心.....

最後
如果如果
你自己就是那第二種人中的第二型(唉)
只能跟你說......

你不孤單

現代社會中的愛情傻子也許不多了

當是當傻子碰上傻子
現代社會中的愛情傻子也許不多了

當是當傻子碰上傻子

那就會是全宇宙最大的幸福^_________________________^

隨筆

"你有的時候真的很自私!",被她講的當下,我就對自己承諾我不要再當個只會為自己著想的人;經過這麼多年,雖然我不知道我自己到底在旁人眼光裡到底還是不是個自私的人,但是至少我一直都很努力的讓自己多為其他人著想,至少我都試著不去計較做任何事的回報;最近卻忽然覺得我這樣做卻又是何必呢?想要表現的不自私,卻惹的一身腥;為別人想的再多,卻也未必有人領你的情;無條件的做任何事,卻也難獲得任何共鳴,到最後是不是被當成了個爛好人?為自己的利益多著想一點,讓自己多快樂一點,這有什麼錯?或許我是該多愛自己一點,或許我是該多自私點!
