Lemons

刚开始的时候满嘴的怨言，连把脚踏出家门去上班的那一步都是满脸的不愿意。只是家里那个坏掉的录音机一直在罗嗦，形成了 push factor，只好找回以前的工作去制造 pu$$ factor 去平衡，耳边自然变得清静，口袋自然恢复健康。把一天花在外头大捞特捞，多好！虽然现在还是会埋怨工作环境的差劲，但是只算是出于习惯的不爽，心情其实在一个星期前就已经平复下来了。Momentum 的魔力可以让身体内的一些控制疼痛的神经暂时麻木，把“受折磨”升华为“习惯”。这种说法很阿Q，可是比起彻底去改变自己的观点更实在，像是一种另类哲学为人们所带来的少许慰籍。

最近的生活中发生了很多变化，一波一波的攻击打乱了平衡，但是至少 momentum 还在。慢慢的被现实逼着去适应，心中的包袱自然而然也卸下了许多，开始朝哲学一方面去寻找可以安抚自己的智慧。

坏事为什么未必那么坏呢？请不要在这里拽坏事变好事之类的通俗辩证法，塞内加的理由见于一句精辟之言：“何必为部分生活而哭泣？君不见全部人生都催人泪下。”

叔本华有一个类似说法：倘若一个人着眼于整体而非一己的命运，他的行为就会更像是一个智者而非一个受难者了。哲人之为哲人，就在于看到了整个人生的全景和限度，因而能够站在整体的高度与一切个别灾难拉开距离，达成和解。塞内加是说到做到的。他官场一度失意，被流放到荒凉的科西嘉，始终泰然自若。最后，暴君尼禄上台，命他自杀，同伴们一片哭声，他从容问道：“你们的哲学哪里去了？”

蒙田更为人熟知，他说过：“每一个人的形体都承载着全部人的状况。”“登上至高无上的御座，仍只能坐在屁股上。”

《慰藉》北京 □周国平

虽然一味的依赖哲学好像有点盲目，你甚至可以反驳：You can tell me about clouds and their silver linings, but without my own experience I won't be able to turn lemons into lemon juice! 的确，哲学只是个开始，但是却是最坚固的垫脚石。哲学视角+亲身经历=智慧+慰籍

Motto: To churn all the lemons in the tornado of changes and show the world how fabulous tornado-churned lemon juice can be made with a wise serving of syrup.
