覺得激動便流淚 踫上了花蜜便陶醉
活著是為了像蝴蝶來又去
害怕孤獨便團聚 怕過於迫夾便離去
活著未為我 為誰?
覺得激動便流淚 踫上了花蜜便陶醉
活著是為了像蝴蝶來又去
害怕孤獨便團聚 怕過於迫夾便離去
活著未為我 為誰?
最近在看sapiens,又吸收了一些intro to philosophy 和佛學的東西,
思想會boil down to 很intrinsic模式,
is it something related to natural selection?
is my feelings driven by my own will or intangible social pressure?
在這麼多資訊inflow的年代,我們對於自己真正想要什麼都變得elusive。
其中一個textbook example。
同事們差不多每個月都有人去日本一次。
去吃魚生拉麵,買藥妝,去看紅葉風景,去牧場等等。
但不知道從什麼時候開始,我對任何日本的東西都喪失了興趣。
同事曾經很像訪問怪人一般:“為什麼感覺你從來不去日本?”
如果15,6歲的我看到現在的我,一定會覺得很不可思議。
曾經我是日本迷,學日語看日劇看漫畫去日本旅行,
甚至去日本實習和做義工。
但人類就是這麼奇怪,這種迷戀就無聲無色地fleet走了。
問題二再來了。“為什麼有假期就一定要去旅遊?”
如果沒有什麼誘因,為什麼我要去旅遊?
去旅遊很累,也需要plan,也需要錢。

a week of anxiety………..
這週整個人的精神狀態有點hyper,有點離地。
到了星期六,感覺自己好像剛剛從瘋人院出來一樣。
(sorry no offence to anyone,到了2017年的現代,說什麼事情也要小心一點。隨口說“痴線”也會被團體討論的)
原因是什麼我也說不清楚。
只知道其實我很累,很多大大小小的happenings,
其實都在消耗著我的time,effort and money(根據”The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F**k“所說,這三件事情就是你的f*k to give了。)
這一連串emotionally taxing的事情包括:

今天的消息貌似與我無關,但足足讓我悶悶不樂了一整天,嚴重似情侶講分手。
我還有好多東西想跟你學習,可惜,我才加入公司5年,你卻突然要走了。
all the best boss!
(urgh didn’t bring my macbook home, need to type in English tim… sadly now I only know how to write in business English..)
Back in MIT, there was a compulsory Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences (HASS) Requirement for all undergraduates. I have always wanted to learn more about Philosophy / Psychology / Anthropology / Linguistics, etc..but ended up I only took one Linguistics course due to GPA concerns =_=”
Thanks to edX and Coursera, now I could take whatever classes I want! (so far I had only completed Gamification and Designing Cities coincidentally both by UPenn)
Hope I could finish both of these by 31 Dec 2017!! (So far only finished reading ‘Option B’ this year =____=)
(1) Justice – HarvardX by Michael Sandel
Learning about Utilitarianism (Jeremy Bentham / JS Mill), Libertarianism (Robert Nozick), self-ownership, Locke’s property rights..

(2) Sapiens – A Brief History of Mankind
#SpoilerAlert
(reading this in simplified Chinese though. struggled a bit whether to read this in English/Chinese initially)
