真實人生

38歲的高齡,幹嗎從軍呢?或許是想為自己開劈一條新河,還是挑戰一下已經多年朝9晚5的枯燥乏味的辦公室生涯? 我至今無從得知。

性格自認屬於浪漫獨特的女兵劉的一些感慨---日記 2/21/09

我很喜歡讀《從聖經看如何認識和提升自己》這本書,它的作者是香港的鄺炳釗博士。
 
鄺博士,曾獲香港建道神學院學士,美國哥頓大學文學士,英國倫敦大學法律學士,香港大學法律深造文憑,美國惠敦大學文學碩士,美國布藍代斯大學博士等等許多學位。
 
我非常喜歡讀他的書。
 
在這本書中,鄺博士指出人的性格大約分為十種:
 
— 追求完美
 
二 熱心助人
 
三 渴求成就
 
四 浪漫獨特
 
五 善於觀察
 
六 忠誠可靠
 
七 樂觀快樂
 
八 天生領袖
 
九 和平平穩
 
十 完美無瑕
 
我自認為是浪漫獨特的第四種。朋友,你是那一種性格?讓我們來看一看何為第四型:
 
這種性格的人喜歡表露真我,我追求真我。很有個性,也享受孤獨。不著意掩飾和壓抑情緒,容易哭和笑,尤其是哭,感情很強烈,情緒多變不時感到沮喪。
 
他們感覺敏銳,常常被美,愛,憂傷,痛苦的悲情所感動。他們相信自己的直覺,浪漫,愛幻想,創作力豐富,靈感源泉湧溢。
 
第四型的人除了用說話去表達個人的感受,藝術是另一種表達感情的渠道。他們熱愛大自然,參加音樂,文化和藝術活動。不少第四型的人是藝術家。若他們不是專業的藝術家,也會有良好的鑒賞力,被美的東西深深吸引,因為美的東西象征了一切感覺的升華,包含真理和善良。他們借著追求真,善,美,來趕走內心的空虛。
 
不少第四型的人很想了解自己,也想被別人了解,但是沒有興趣去了解別人;他們不斷希望找到自己的特色,以及最能表達自己的方式。他們具有高度的創造力,喜歡用象征去表達事物,也留意自己所作的夢。
 
聖經中,約瑟被哥哥們妒忌,因為他與眾不同,穿上獨有的彩衣。他夢見自己鶴立雞群,超越家人。他在波提乏家中和監獄裏都享有特殊的地位,以及善於解夢,這都讓人想起第四型的人。
書拉密女和良人都把對方描寫的完美無瑕,這是第四型人對愛人的想象。
 
當我寫出自己人生中最黑暗,最痛苦的經曆時,很奇妙的,神的醫治的大能就臨到我,讓我感到無比的釋放與輕鬆。
 
 
就象 Col. Glave, who is in charge of the Veteran Affaire Department located in downtown San Jose, said,“Sweet Heart, it is the best when you write down your sufferings and pain and bear God's true witness to the people, and then you will feel relieved, that is right way to get healed, and not to hide all your pains and don't tell anyone. You will never get well that way." 
 
"Yes, sir, well put, sir!" I shouted onto the receiver, jokingly, just like when I was a soldier at Fort Jackson. In the army, a private has to solute all officers, esp a Col. Glave.
 
"and I salute you, sir! If I see you in person, sir, I will have to be in an Attention position and show my respect to you, sir."
 
Col. Glave laughed, "That's the good soldier, young lady."
 
He is a true gentleman and an officer, and I admire and respect him. He is 83 years old, he told me. And he is a very caring dignified man. I was amazed by the love and concern he has shown to me, an injured, broken, 41 year old Chinese female discharged soldier.
 
"How about working as an Army reservist under my command for a couple of days per month, young lady, so you can wear your ACU and Class A uniform again?" He suggested a few days ago on the phone.
 
Wow, now that is a big decision for me. "I will definitely think about it seriously, sir. And discuss it with my family, sir. And I thank you sir, for everything. Why you are so good to me?" I asked finally.
 
"Well, let me put it this way, soldier, I just wanted to wake up every morning and be a happy man." Col. Glave said.
 
What another angel that God sent to me. I was speechless by God's grace shown to me.
 
是的,我是多麽的滿心歡喜快樂,VA 的官員也沒有對我置之不理,反而伸出熱情的雙手。
 
我永遠忘不了 Col. Glave 說的,
 
“Remember, young lady, when you were enlisted, you laid down your life to your country, and now you were injured both physically and mentally, the country won't forget that, and we will try our best to restore you and help you, the country owes you for your sacrifice."
 
I am really impressed by his words.
 
記得2006年的聖誕節,我身穿軍裝去參加一個朋友聚會,一位朋友走過來,問我,“你參軍有什麽好處嗎,還受了傷,值嗎?”
 
“對不起,我與你沒什麽好說的,我不知道如何回答你。” 他可能感覺 embarrassed by my remarks, but I don't care.
 
What kind of question is that? I don't ask for anything for the US government, when I joined in. I just thought to make myself useful and contribute to my country. And not to gain the so called "什麽好處'".
 
Please support our troops! Pray for their safety and pray for their loved ones. Now President Obama just ordered to send 17,000 troops to deploy to Afganistan. I am thinking, my battle buddies who were together with me at Fort Jackson for BCT in 2006, some of them might have already received the order to ship there.
 
I could only pray to God for their safty now!
