病態的快樂VS健康的鬱悶

無論以何種形式回來的海歸,都麵臨著這麽一個難題:是鐵下心來過著一種病態的快樂生活,還是不如歸去,十分健康地鬱悶著。
海歸一方麵對國內惡劣的大環境深惡痛絕:沙塵暴,幹旱,潲水油,毒蔬菜;一方麵對國內的吃喝玩樂讚賞有加:洗腳城,娛樂城,夜總會,大排檔,山珍野味。
國內的同行們正是仕途得意錢途無限的黃金時期,日子過得怎一個滋潤了得!夜夜笙歌的日子都過怕了,提起吃燕翅鮑喝藍帶XO就愁眉苦臉的一副萬般無奈狀。痛風和脂肪肝成了廣大革命幹部的職業病。從純醫學角度看,這種生活方式非常的不健康,甚至近乎病態,卻是十分的快樂。
海外的朋友們無論事業有成與否,日子過得大同小異:日出而作,日入而息。房子汽車都有了,不良嗜好都沒了。呼吸著新鮮的空氣,喝著純淨的水,吃著放心的肉菜。從純醫學角度看,這種生活方式非常的健康,甚至近乎聖潔,卻是十分的鬱悶。
生活在一個人欲橫流的社會裏,自有其快樂的一麵。隨時隨地可以肆無忌憚地抽煙,喝酒,開車闖紅燈按喇叭,揮手即可招來出租汽車,酒吧夜總會桑拿按摩通宵營業。任何感官都可尋找最大程度的刺激。至於健康與否,嗨!管他的!“生年不滿百,何懷千歲憂?”
人類可能是最害怕寂寞孤獨的動物了。海外的朋友們健康而鬱悶的生活,究其根源不外乎缺乏熱鬧。大家都說喜歡海外那種平靜的家居生活,其實多少有幾分言不由衷。國內病態而快樂的生活,就在於那股無處不在的熱鬧勁兒。
真個是:
好髒好亂好快活。
好山好水好寂寞。
in America, life could be boring, going to work and come home all the time, but we can spice it up by taking vacations regularly, attend some events on the weekends, going to catch a show/play sometimes. When we miss Chinese culture, we could watch Chinese cable TV, rent DVD's in America, and we could have some Chinese friends too. And we could buy Chinese food. As for how to co-mingle into the American culture, well, never too old to learn, if we learn, we would undertand more of the culture, and more of the "insight jokes". then we will feel more comfortable.
if living in China, we can try to cut down the eating out, party nightly, try to pursue some balance.
it is easy to say, hard to do sometimes, of course, but it is possible, to live a balanced life style if we try hard enough.
"balanced life style" means a life style combining work and leisure, suit to our individual taste. While "perfect life style", is something else, which i am not sure we can achieve in this current world environment, no matter where.
第一次看到, so cute, and looks so funny, got to try with my cat.....hehe...
選擇病態的快樂
嗯,俺馬上就要起程了,回大家眼裏很髒的背景。不過說實話,我過去兩三年一直兩頭跑,在北京的日子很多,從來沒有趕上沙塵暴,也許我這人是沙塵暴的克星呢,哈哈!讓俺拭目以待吧。反正不用上班,有地下車庫,暴就暴。不過,還是希望它少暴,環境是大家的,butterfly effects 大家都知道吧。俺這幾個月在加州呆著,趕上兩次地震,乖乖,這可是我一輩子迄今為止唯一趕上的兩次地震啊!所以,俺馬上訂了四月份的機票,逃也。
琴清說,德州十年內發大水,加州五年內大地震,中國兩年內房市崩盤。想撈錢的,趕快海歸吧,大調整要來了。
當然要找到真心朋友和深入交流並不容易。可是中國的那些所謂消遣又有多少是真心交流呢?精神上的缺失不是物質的享受能夠補償的,這一點不管在哪都一樣。
