這副嘴臉的由來

有兩種書我讀的很慢,一種是書很難讀,太費勁,隻能慢慢讀,可能永遠也讀不完;另一種書是寫的太好,太吸引我,怕被讀完就沒有了,所以仔仔細細,一句一句地讀,有時侯還摘抄幾句.我現在得到的一本書就是後一種,不舍得讀完.

“The Mindful path through shyness.” By Steve Flowers.

下麵是昨晚讀的時候做的摘抄:

Thoughts arise.

Thoughts give rise to emotions.

Emotions give rise to moods.

Moods harden into personality.

Personality hardens into habits of behavior.

Habits of behavior gradually shape the body.

Sometimes their faces tell a vivid story of the mental and emotional states that have dominated their lifes. Worry lines can reveal a lifetime of anxiety, while crow’s-feet and other smile wrinkles can reveal a lifetime of laughter.

以上幾句的大意是:

思想自動出現.

思想的出現引起情感.

情感的出現引起情緒.

情緒融入性格.

性格融入行為習慣.

行為習慣塑造身體.

所以身體可以變成一個人成長曆史的表達.看一看有年紀人的臉,這些臉在生動地講述人一生中主要的精神曆程.一些愁苦的線條展示了一生的焦慮;而那些因微笑而引起的線條則展示了一生的歡笑.
