藕然之無標簽生活
不得，不寫。
“你愛我嗎？”
“我愛你”。
我現在是看得多了，聽得多了，也肯說了。電影演的，歌裏唱的，小說寫的，網 上發生的；用中文、用外語；都一樣了。似乎都是表達同樣的東西。就像那些原先稀缺的日用品，那些柴米油鹽醬醋茶，曾經有出處，有做法的，現在都被擺進超市裏，就忽然變得極大豐富了，再沒人去問來龍去脈，隻需隨心所欲取下拿上，輕而易舉付錢走人就好了。
真的如此嗎？
我不是懷疑人類的感情會進化，也不是覺得坦誠告白有什麽問題。
我隻是奇怪為什麽我從來沒有聽我的父母、祖父母說過；他們或許是礙著身分輩分，不好讓我聽到。可我也從沒在古人那裏讀到過“我愛你” ---- 就算是《紅樓夢》、《西廂記》，也沒有，可誰能說林黛玉和賈寶玉不是佳偶、崔鶯鶯和張生不曾傾心呢？
我倒是發現了一個現象，微不足道，卻值得玩味。
對於男女之間的傾慕，古人是用“情”而不用“愛”來說的。
愛這個字當然早就存在，孔子就說過仁是“愛人”，但絕不能解作就是喜歡一個人，也不是喜歡很多人。“愛”是對人好，更多是給人好處，施人恩惠，讓人感受到實在利益。
“情”字卻身世複雜， 不管是久遠的“五情”，如何變為“六情”，再變作廣為人知的“七情”，“情”包含的內容是一部觀念史，但情的本意卻未改。情就是事實、實情、也就是客觀的狀況。
暫且撇開現代西化的影響，在古人的用字和意義脈絡裏，“愛”是安置於“情”之下的。這大概就是為什麽現在會把西文的“ｌｏｖｅ”所代表的情感，翻譯成了“愛情”。
用的多了，就不去多想，反把我們自己原有的深意忽略了，這真是可惜。
如果不是曾經愛過，或愛上一個人，我也不會體會到“問世間情為何物，直教人生死相許”，也不會懂得“兩情若是久長時，又豈在朝朝暮暮”。這才明白為什麽古人用“情”來代替“愛”。
那種感覺、感情，是不知來由，無法分析，更不能去計較和掌控的。
你可以愛一個人，對他好，為他做任何事，如果他沒有回應，那麽你其實隻是單戀，是暗戀，你很痛苦，但也可以無限勇敢，這愛與那個對象，其實沒有直接的互動，一切可以在你的想象中和夢裏自生自滅。
但當對方也有了回應，那便是兩情相悅。從此你不再隻是你，你處在一個狀態，左右他，也為他左右，他可以讓你哭，讓你笑，你也可以讓他傷心，讓他憐愛，你永遠不知道他會給你怎樣的驚喜或打擊，他也無法預料你為何上一秒鍾溫柔似水，下一秒又冷若冰雨，但你們就是逃不開那樣的狀況，你心裏不想，他也不想，你們都是高傲自負的人，都從不肯為別人改變自己，妥協自由，但現在，他在改變你，你也影響著他。就連你們這樣從不信任概率，從不盲從命運的人，也關心起星座、血型、屬相、甚至暗暗相信三生石上其實早已刻上了你們的名字。
還有怎樣的考驗將來臨，還有怎樣的痛苦和歡樂在等待，一切都是未知，唯有現在，你接受這現實，這樣的毫無選擇，既不能說不是你的選擇，卻也不全是你的選擇。你彷徨、迷惘，憂傷，但卻是如此的不徹底，因為你心裏總是有希望，而他就是那黑暗隧道裏的星點亮光。
所以，我們說“愛”的時候，實在是太過自信，也太過幼稚，以為在玩童年的遊戲。
在其中了，你便曉得“情”難自禁，“情關難過”。不當一個“情種”，又怎知道“生而為人”，“長而為我”，究竟是怎麽一回事。

別蹉跎了，拿起筆寫寫吧。
後來就隻好看看以前的舊文。也嚐試自己寫寫，實在不好。

姓真實的故事”。千百年後，考古學家的研究資料。
今天就開始，否則明日複明日。尤其昨天著實賠了一筆，不記下來不行。先來背景：
我在芝加哥的一所大醫院做個臨床檢驗員。工資一般，各方麵福利倒還好。老婆PHD，
還有一年畢業。孩子兩歲了，虎頭虎腦，名叫小虎。房子已經買了，每月還貸。在
單位我是早9晚5，認真工作，並無雜念。

鳳姐傳奇(原創)
日前網上驚聞鳳姐欲以政治避難為由，移民美國。真心佩服她的身殘誌堅。
造物不公，給了她這樣貧瘠的生理條件，她卻自強不息，不斷突破人們的想象力。
她給祖國的巨大貢獻分兩個主要方麵：
1、出國前。
想當年韓喬生被惡搞後，很大度：“我並非喜劇演員，能給大家帶來這麽多快樂，
很榮幸!”這話放在鳳姐這兒，大家想想，中國之大，有幾個人能超過她給大家帶來
的快樂。
2、出國後。
如果所有鳳姐類的人，都移民美國。我國全民的平均智商，身高，都會大幅攀升；
而罪惡的美帝國主義，則急轉直下。此長彼消，對於我國的國際戰略地位是多麽大
的促進。
今後鳳姐的結局，因為沒有技能，又不會英文，她正在幾個熱門行業中選擇：
1、餐館，太辛苦是其次，關鍵影響顧客的食欲就不好了。
2、甲店，相對來說合適。雖然有人擔心此行業做久了，影響生育。不過鳳姐不怕，
反正也沒人要，再說這劣質基因也別再傳下去了。
3、洗腳，非常適合。盡管有人說此行業有色情之嫌，但在鳳姐的容貌來說，應該會
出汙泥而不染。
蘇秦
一、鬼穀子
戰國時代，自稱鬼穀子學生的有6人比較有名。一班：孫臏和龐涓；二班：蘇秦和張
儀；三班：韓非和李斯。時間上跨數百年，再“鬼穀子”之名，不像孔子，韓非子，
公孫龍子，並非姓名。鬼蔽5c是個地名；子意思先生。大概在人跡罕至的這麽個地
方，有這麽獻身教育的一輩輩先生，不斷地培育人才，改寫曆史。
也確實有其書，雜含兵，法，縱橫之學。那一定是師生合著的了。其中有
揣情，摩意兩篇，那可不是說我還愛你的，是重要的權術。應用的最好的那就是蘇
秦和張儀兩人了。而蘇秦則更演繹出驚心動魄的一段故事。
二、刺骨揣摩
說起來孫晉頭懸梁，蘇秦錐刺骨，以及囊螢，映雪，負薪，掛角，都是曆史上苦讀
的典範。不過蘇秦以錐刺骨，血流至踵的原因卻不是為了讀書，而是為了揣摩。
當年蘇秦學成出穀，開始了縱橫生涯。次序上是由近及遠，自上而下。他家住在東
周皇帝直轄區，所以從周顯王開始。想幫助他重振王綱，再開盛世。但古往今來，
聖賢從不在自己家鄉受到尊重，至少開始時候不會。因為這個直轄區太小了，街坊
鄰居都認識這個窮書生，知根知底的，所以周顯王左右的人都看不起他。結果白費
唇舌。
蘇秦沒有泄氣，轉而去說秦惠王，想幫他一統天下。可是秦國剛殺了商鞅，正在排
外。所以秦惠王雖待他客氣，卻沒用他的謀略。
數次撞壁，疲憊的他回到家裏。蘇秦有個嫂嫂很刻薄，“我們東周人，有把力氣的
就去種地；腦筋好的就做生意，無非求得20%的收益。你每天白日做夢，想動動嘴就
坐享榮華富貴。現在好了，現實生活給你上了一課，我看倒是件好事!”
於是蘇秦大受刺激，把自己關起來，想，我從老師那裏該學的都認真學了，問題在
哪裏？就把所有的書又翻出來，看到了“揣摩”這部分。豁然大悟。原來缺少的是
練習。從此他晝夜演練，假象如果麵對君王，這樣對答，那樣籌劃。有時候太累了，
打盹兒，就拿起錐子，對自己說，“如果不能說服諸侯，願意所有軍政之權盡托，
財寶盡出；沒有奪取富貴的100%把握，我決不出去。”說完，手起錐落，血流滿地。
三、六國相印
終於有一天，蘇秦覺得天下已在自己掌股之上，開始了第二輪的遊曆。第一站趙國。
當時國君趙肅侯令其弟為相，號奉陽君。蘇秦忽視了這個人際關係，所以沒有成功。
到了第二站，燕國，吸取教訓，非常耐心地等了一年，把所有關係都打點好了，才
正式晉見燕文侯，“大王，你知道燕國怎樣可以永無戰亂嗎？”燕文侯當然說願意。
蘇秦說，“秦國想兼並天下不是一天兩天了，但是他不與燕直接相鄰。所以目前還
不能來犯，而是遠交近攻，蠶食趙魏等國。如果大悅，說我願意以國相隨。並

心得之一總綱：百戰百勝
如果能選擇戰場，選擇時間，選擇對手，選擇任何其他條件，甚至能隨意修改規則。
那還有失敗可言？在主觀世界裏，這是可以做到的。客觀世界，就做不到。而心事
是主觀的。換言之，如資治通鑒都是給皇帝看的，帝王術。普通人何用？在心的世

之二，製怒之4要點--不能製怒，修行便無從談起。
1、要選擇值得的，占優勢，有實惠的戰鬥；其餘忽略之。因為人生苦短。
2、勿被他人的言語行為所控製。君子言行動天地，而不為人所動。無論是有意的激
將法，還是無意的冒犯，以深厚修行化解之。即柏拉圖所謂：“unmoved mover”

答曰，“當你真正明白，就無需擋子彈了。”其語甚深，我時有不及也!
4、佛言貪，嗔，癡三毒，唯有嗔怒是快毒，數(十)年修行即刻化為灰燼。謹慎之。

費時間啊。有人說覺得不幸福的人，無非認為別人對不起自己，或嫉妒別人這兩類。
都該想想這個小故事。富足人生的最佳詮釋：忙世人之所閑，閑世人之所忙
之四用人之道--凡人皆有所長。有一個同事D女士，為人尖酸刻薄，非常難以相處。
平時大家都躲她。因為凡是你有好消息，好東西，她都能挑出毛病，然後貶得一錢
不值，當然除了她自己的。前年，金危之後，我們買房子。作為毫無經驗的初次買
房者，我們最大的缺點是看那個都好，還都那麽便宜。這時，我想到了D女士，之後
看房子的日子裏，每個房子我都把地址告訴她，請作評判。開始我還把資料打印出
來，後來她都不用我打了，一拿到地址，自己去網上搜索，匯總資料打印出來，一
麵拿給我，一麵評頭論足，橫挑鼻子豎挑眼，簡直雞蛋裏挑骨頭。大展其QA/QC之才。
最後，不知是不是她累了，終於連她都覺得該出手了，我們終於買到了非常稱心如
意的“窩”，D女士功不可沒。之後，我們成了好朋友。我發現其實她也沒那麽壞。
之五不爭。
孔子注用九群龍無首，采用的是道家“夫唯不爭，故莫能與之爭”的思想。中國兩

下來留給和自己愛的人在一起享用。
有時矛盾的一方正是自己愛的人，那就隻說半句話。往往“梗骨在喉，不吐不快”
之後是後悔的。無論對愛人，朋友，父母，子女，客戶，都不能“知無不言，言無

連無漏智的境地也不遠了。
之六以人為鏡，吾兒，吾妻。
之七財富之道，職業與生活合一。
The reason this matters is quite simple: Healthy societies have modest,
but
not extreme wealth and income inequalities. There are inequalities because
not everyone has the same skills and capabilities, and some inequality in
wealth and income provides an incentive system.
However, massive, widely disparate economic inequality has historically
led
to bad and in some cases, extremely bad outcomes. It contributes to
social unrest, excessive political populism, and mob violence.
I write this as someone who, due to a fortuitous combination of luck and
work, developed a skill set that is highly valued by modern society. This
is in part to an accident of birth, to have an excellent education, to some
serendipity. Overcoming some adversity didnt hurt; figuring out how to turn
some deficits to an advantage was hugely beneficial. Thus, I find myself
in that top 1% economically; but I know deep down in my soul that if I was
born 100 years earlier and maybe even 30 years earlier I would not have
been. This makes me acutely aware of the risks and dangers of our current
wide disparity of wealth and income.
。
Bedazzled movie becareful what you are wishing for.
你笑我和你們不一樣，我笑你們都一樣。
職業───時間的當鋪，迫於生活壓力的人們把生命中大好時光全部典當給它，從
此卻再也贖不回來。
成功的人生一開始是觀眾，接著是演員，最後是後台老板，失敗的人生反其道行之。
如果我們隻追求幸福有就罷了，難的是我們實際上追求的是比別人幸福。
不要與你強大的人分享秘密。
過馬路的原則是──一慢二看三通過，做人也是如此。

I am no longer convinced of this.
I now believe they some combination of heavy metals or other pollutants
has
somehow rendered the judgment centers of their brain inoperative. They
function in ways indistinguishable from other human beings, except when
it
comes to anything involving judgment. This includes complex mathematics,
a
new or unusual fact pattern, or simply something that conflicts with prior
experience. It is beyond them.
If they are not clueless, then the alternative conclusion is that they are
liars (a third possibility is they are developmentally disabled i.e., high
functioning morons but I doubt that). That conclusion is based on an
October 9th editorial, from whence the above quote was derived.
As has been widely circulated and discussed in the media, Man’s home sold
out from under him in foreclosure mistake. The gentleman in question DID
NOT HAVE A MORTGAGE.
If that is not substantive error, then WTF is?
I reiterate, and cannot stress enough
Bank of America announced that it has discovered a few trivial,
easily-remedied technical problems with some of its mortgages. “We will
stop foreclosure sales in some states until our assessment has been
satisfactorily completed, or until the politicians whom we have compensated
so generously do their damn jobs and get rid of those pesky laws and rights
that are slowing us down. Our ongoing assessment shows the basis for
foreclosure decisions is accurate, except in those few regrettable cases
where we repossessed a house that actually had no mortgage on it
whatsoever-hey, nobody’s perfect, ha ha,” a Bank of America spokescreature
said. “It’s really quite a lot of trouble to verify the address before
we
take someone’s house,” the spokescreature continued. “Comparing addresses
on two documents slows us up by a good fifteen seconds. After all, we have
a lot of houses to foreclose on. Anyway, many of those people actually
do
owe money to us, or to somebody, anyway. I know it is a bit confusing to
citizens when our competitor HSBC and another bank simultaneously try to
foreclose on the same property, especially when they are in a federal
foreclosure prevention program. It’s sort of like one of those programs
on
Animal Planet where each hyena grabs a leg of the still twitching gazelle
and tries to pull it away from the other hyenas. But that’s the way nature
works-nobody asks those hyenas petty-minded questions about whether title
to the gazelle was properly transferred, and to which hyena, and whether
the title was properly notarized by an authorized local cheetah. Sometimes
a company just has to sink its fangs into a customer, lock its jaws, which
can exert a pressure of 1,000 pounds per square inch, brace its legs, yank,
and see what tears loose. If we get the wrong gazelle, we will make every
effort to compensate it for our erroneous gnawing, bone-crushing, and
marrow-sucking.”
“It appears that some of our process servers may not have actually served
the owners with notice of our intent to foreclose. But, honestly, wouldn’
t
warning them make it a whole lot harder to catch them? It is a myth that
hyenas giggle and cackle before they attack. Actually, they are usually
quite silent until they get close enough to bite. On the Serengeti, due
process means that the gazelle runs as fast as it can and the pack keeps
ripping small chunks off until the gazelle collapses due to shock and blood
loss and inability to pay for a lawyer. There may have been some trivial,
unimportant problems with the relevant documents, but we are confident that
many of those gazelles really did owe us money, and we believe that our
ripping them into pieces, digesting them, and regurgitating their horns
and
hooves is ecologically sound and generally in accord with the law of
nature. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I will have to go mark the boundaries
of
my pack’s territory with the musk from my anal scent gland. We don’t
want
other hyena packs like J.P. Morgan invading our turf. That could be a real
mess-those guys know how to sink their fangs in, and they know how to break
down the door of a house and change the locks even when they haven’t
foreclosed on the property.”
Asked for comment, a J.P. Morgan spokesperson said, “We have no interest
in
invading the grasslands turf of Bank of America or HSBC because we are not
hyenas. We are amphibious apex predators, and our preferred mode of
foreclosure is to lurk underwater by the bank of a river. When a gazelle
or a wildebeest sticks its muzzle in the water, we surge upward and, um,
serve papers on it, or something. Or grab a leg and go into our famous
death roll, spinning and thrashing until the leg comes off. Then we like
to take the borrower’s corpse up-river for a few days of what we in the
mortgage business call ‘seasoning’. We would also like to remind you
puny,
pathetic citizens that we can grow to twenty-three feet long, we can gallop
at up to seventeen miles per hour for short distances, we have maintained
our distinctive business culture successfully since before dinosaurs
evolved, we have thick dorsal osteoderms which are hard to penetrate even
with an axe, and we are much more biologically complex than other reptiles:
unlike them, we have features like a cerebral cortex and a four-chambered
heart, and many of us have Ivy League degrees. We recommend that AMBAC
and
Pimco think carefully about all of these features before trying to push
their mortgage-backed securities back onto our balance sheet. As for any
legislators or prosecutors who might be thinking about going after us, we
have very slow metabolisms. We can submerge for an hour and go for months
without eating. We will outwait you and probably eventually hire you as
a
lobbyist. We would also like to note, though, that we are not without
compassion. We honor our prey and weep for it: do you see the large tears
rolling out of our eyes and down our scaly cheeks? You probably thought
crocodile tears were a mere myth or proverb, but we do in fact have
lachrymal glands that secrete a proteinaceous fluid. Crying has an
important place in our corporate culture: it lubricates our eyes and cleans
our nictitating membranes.”
The Senate and the House, with remarkable foresight, have
already passed HR 3808, a bill to facilitate the sharing of taxpayer
carcasses across state lines. The bill’s sponsor, Representative Robert
Aderholt, an Alabama Republican, said, “It is important to ensure that
multiple species of predators can efficiently divide a taxpayer carcass
and
transport pieces of it from one waterhole to another.” David Axelrod,
an
advisor to President Obama, said, “We originally planned to sign it, but
we
are less than a month away from elections, and many gazelles and springboks
seem to be agitated about this issue, so we decided to table it for now.
We have complete confidence, though, in our ability to find some swift,
quiet resolution of this problem after the election.” Secretary of
Predation Timothy Geithner added, “I think we can all agree that our
nation’s highest priority is to ensure a steady and increasing flow of
protein to our apex predators. Crocodiles and hyenas are actually very
delicate creatures, and any regulatory interference with their feeding
habits could have a catastrophic effect on the entire ecosystem.” Despite
their superficial differences, both parties fervently agree on the crucial
importance of making life easier for apex predators.
