    Making Choice

    "Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career.Choose a family. Choose a big fucking television, choose washingmachines, cars, compact disk players and electrical tinopeners...choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sundaymorning. Choose sitting on the couch, watching mind-numbing,spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing junk food into yourmouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all,pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than anembarassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats you spawned to replaceyourself. Choose your future. Choose life. But why would I want todo a thing like that? I chose not to choose life: I chose something else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who need reasons when you've got heroin?"
     
    不了解他人看了"Transpotting"这部电影的感受。但是在我脑海中率先涌现的,不是别的,而是对空虚的恐惧。
     
    我相信每个人都有即时满足的体验(or else he/she would not be a human being but a kind of machinery),而伴随着即时满足的,就是永恒的空虚感。主人公选择了Not to choose life,但是遗憾的是快感无法充满生活的全部。于是我们看到他的焦虑、痛苦、冷漠。让我不寒而栗的是这样一个想法:We eat, we drink, we work, we sleep...... 日常生活中的我们与RENTON选择了不同的道路,但我们和RENTON没有本质的区别。我们忙碌于日常琐事,时常为渺小的快感感到幸福,编制华丽的文字来掩盖生命之泉的干枯匮乏……我再一次想起了芥川龙之介经典的《琐事》,每一次想起这段话我会对它持不同的态度,但从来不怀疑它的重要:
     
    琐事
      为了使人生幸福,需要喜爱日常琐事。云的光辉,竹子摇曳,群雀啼叫,行人的脸——应该在一切日常琐事中,感到无尽的甜美。
      是为了使人生幸福吗?——但是喜爱琐事也必然为琐事所苦。跳进庭园前古池里的蛙,可能打破了百年忧愁。但是,跳出古池里的蛙也可能带来了百年忧愁。哦,芭蕉的一生是享乐的一生,同时不论在谁的眼目中也是受苦的一生。我们为了微妙的快乐,一也必须遭受微妙的痛苦。
      为了使人生幸福,也必须为日常琐事所苦。云的光辉,竹子摇曳,群雀啼叫,行人的脸——应该在一切日常琐事中感受到坠入地狱的痛苦。
     
     
    好在我正在做一种选择。在最近的这段时间,我忽然发现一件事实。就是说我的生活大多数时间是随机游走,所做的选择微乎其微,生活为琐事而填充。于是我把闹钟拨到比以前更早的时间。我绞尽脑汁,想找一个不参加班级出游的理由。我开始判断什么研究工作是重要的,什么是不重要的。我变得更难容忍学术Rubbish,但再不会花费时间与之辩论。我痛苦地发现,我有太多的书想看,但是它们几乎是一生都无法读完的。选择意味着放弃。我还要放弃什么呢?
     
    作这样的选择,原因只有一个,Life is too short and limited, or more acurately, life is too short for one life pursuit.
     
    在Making Choice和No Choice之间,我选择Making Choice. 但是这不意味着放弃即时满足,anyway,I am a human being. 或者说Anyway my choice may be hollow and stupid in God's eye. 但是人总要为自己寻找一种意义。但是“意义”是什么?
     
    回答在《碧海蓝天》里。我要去寻找我的鱼:)

    不管个人的一生如何辉煌或者如何崎岖,也不管一个人做某个所谓重大意义的决定,在上帝眼里(如果有的话),或者在我们生存的整个宇宙空间里,都是微不足道的事情。尽管如此,既然来了,就要为自己的人生寻找出某种所谓的意义和满足自己的快乐。其实人真正逃不过的是生存二字;整个人类社会运作下去,不过是为了生存或者说更好的生存而已。
     
    记得曾经有段时间非常喜欢Le Grand Bleu。

    随机游走也是一种选择,人的“意义”需靠即时满足的堆积才会浮现吧。有方向的话就不必在乎走的方式,只要仍在走下去:)
    好久没来,胡言乱语一番,勿怪:P

    我也觉得你要乐观一点,渺小的快感也很不错啊,还记得"The Road Not Taken"吗,走到一个地方选一条路就是选择

    人的存在本身就是多元化的。柏拉图就认为人的欲望和激情就应该受控于理智。享乐也有好几个层次啊。首先满足人作为动物的官能需求,其实满足人作为人的精神需求。然而这两个在通常人那里是没法同时满足的。这时候就要乐观一点啦,看到选择,而不去想放弃。否则人整天那样“物哀”反而伤害了享受本身了。当然也有人以此为乐的。。好的文学作品往往都不会阳光灿烂的。。
