On Expression

(2008-11-09 19:29:02) 下一個


Nothing can substitute for one’s need for expression. Not watching movie, not watching news, not surfing the internet, not listening to music, not reading.  Feelings not expressed or suppressed become poison.

A man sees himself only when he sees his expression. 

Shallow thoughts can be expressed instantaneously and effortlessly, while the expression of deep convictions may need a lifetime. 

Fear is always in the way of man’s expression of himself. Man’s expression confronts the society, thus free expression often requires forfeiting comforts.

Success is enviable because of the joy of expression. 

“Man is only half himself; the other half is his expression.” - Emerson

胡渙 回複 悄悄話 回複Yuan的評論:

同意。

用孔子的話說,叫“一以貫之”。

用耶穌的話說,叫 "I am the way, the truth, the life".
Yuan 回複 悄悄話 回複胡渙的評論:
俺覺得跟道家說的“損而又損”是一回事呢 :)
胡渙 回複 悄悄話 回複edrifter的評論:

說的太好了。表達並不簡單。表達是對思維的升華。

是否可以這麽說:教育的最高境界不是讓人的腦子裏多一些東西,而是少一些東西。讀書要把書從厚變薄大概也是同樣的道理。
胡渙 回複 悄悄話 謝謝Yuan and yes-no. 非常榮幸!
edrifter 回複 悄悄話 What an inspirational thought!

Just want to add one thing: expression, whatever it may be, is the crystallization of human's thinking, an ability that substantiates human beings from the animal world.

Without thinking, human is just another kind of animal; without expression, human would only end up the uncivilized specie. This can be further validated when we think about education, as education is the bona fide mean through which people can facilitate themselves a better way to express.
yes-no 回複 悄悄話 你的文章是用來品的,得細細體會。我成了你的大扇子了。:)
Yuan 回複 悄悄話 拷貝走了,打印出來,貼於辦公室座右。
再次多謝!
