讀查理。卓別林的詩“當我真正開始愛自己”

無係之舟,2021。09。25

*後附英語原文,原始譯者:微信公眾號關老師,本人做了一些表達上的修改;

**據說這首詩是卓別林寫於他70歲生日的當天,那麽就應該是寫於1959年的4月16日;大師是1889年4月16日生於倫敦,1977年12月25日在瑞士去世。

       我第一次讀到這首詩時,是我到太平洋彼岸不久,那時腦子裏還沒有過“愛自己”的概念。我住家的房東太太(我們成了幾十年的好朋友)對我講的“一個不懂愛自己的人是不會愛別人的”這樣的話,我似懂非懂,甚至有些困惑。

       我隻記得從小到大,我們這代人,每個人都要努力成為象白求恩醫生那樣毫無自私自利之心的高尚的人,那不就是等於全心全意得愛別人嗎?怎麽會要先愛自己呢?

       我隻記得從小到大,學校,老師,社會都在教導我們要愛祖國,愛人民,愛黨,愛勞動,愛公共財物。。。唯獨沒有人告訴我們要愛家人,更沒有人告訴我們要愛自己。

       前些天,無意中又讀到這首詩,非常觸動,這麽多年在西方生活之後,終於懂的了一個有意義的人生,要從愛自己,尊重自己開始的道理,而且這首詩把什麽叫愛自己寫得淋漓盡致,這是一位藝術大師的生活總結。現在對至少三,四十歲以下的中國年輕人,即使是在國內教育下長大的,也多多少少會懂得愛自己,尊重自己的的道理了(也許因為某些客觀因素被曲解了)。

       我想把這首詩原原本本地放在這裏,不做任何評述,請讀者來體會什麽是愛自己,為什麽不懂如何愛自己的人是不可能真正愛別人和與別人和諧生活的?希望讀者也喜歡卓別林大師的這個詩作。

 

當我開始真正愛自己

查理。卓別林

 

       當我開始真正愛自己,我才知道,所有的痛苦,情感的折磨,都隻是提醒自己,生活不要違背自己的本心。今天,我明白了,這叫做“真實”。

       當我開始真正愛自己,我才懂得,時機不對,也不等做好準備,就把自己的願望強加他人,即使那個人就是自己,是多麽無禮!

       當我開始真正愛自己,我不再渴求別樣的人生,我明白任何發生在我身邊的事情都是對我成長的激勵,如今,我才知道這就是“成熟”。

      當我開始真正愛我自己,我才明白,在所有的過往中,一直是在正確的時間,正確的地點,發生了恰如其分的事情,如此,我得以平靜。現在我明白,這就是“自信”。

       當我開始真正愛我自己,我不再浪費我自己的時間,不再去規劃未來宏偉的藍圖,如今我隻做能帶來歡樂和愉快的事,做自己熱愛,喜歡的事,按自己的方式,依照自己的節奏,現在我叫這是“簡單”。

       當我開始真正愛我自己,我開始遠離一切不健康和讓我走下坡路的東西,無論是人,食物,還是事情或環境。過去,我曾把這種態度叫做“健康的利己主義”。現在我明白了,這是“自愛”。

       當我開始真正愛我自己,我不再總是努力保持永遠正確很少認為自己錯。我知道了這是“謙虛”。

       當我開始真正愛我自己,我不再沉溺於過去,也不會為明天擔憂,而僅僅活在此時此地發生的一切之中,如此日複一日,這就是“充實”。

       當我開始真正愛我自己,我明白,思緒會打攪自己,會讓人生病,而我懂了要喚起理智的力量,將理智和心靈連為一體,這就是自己“心靈的智慧”。

       我們不再懼怕自己內心或和他人的分歧,矛盾和難題,沒有星星碰撞,碎裂,那會有新世界的誕生,我明白了其實這就是“生命”!

AS I BEGEN TO LOVE MYSELF

 By Charlie Chaplin

As I began to love myself I found that anguish and emotional suffering are only warning signs that I was living against my own truth.  Today, I know this is “AUTHENTICITY”.

As I began to love myself I understood how much it can offend somebody if I try to force my desires on this person, even though I knew the time was not right and the person was not ready for it, and even though this person was me. Today, I call it “RESPECT”.

As I began to love myself I stopped craving for a different life, and I could see that everything that surrounded me was inviting me to grow. Today I call it “MATURITY”.

As I began to love myself I understood that at any circumstance, I’m in the right place at the right time, and everything happens at the exactly right moment. So I could be calm. Today I call it “SELF-CONFIDENCE”.

As I began to love myself I quit stealing my own time, and I stopped designing huge projects for the future. Today, I only do what brings me joy and happiness, things I love to do and that make my heart cheer, and I do them in my own way and in my own rhythm. Today I call it “SIMPLICITY”.

As I began to love myself I freed myself of anything that is no good for my health food, people, things, situations, and everything that drew me down and away from myself. At first I called attitude a healthy egoism. Today I knew it is “LOVE OF ONESELF”.

As I began to love myself I quit trying to always be right, and ever since I was wrong less of the time. Today I discovered that is “MODESTY”.

As I began to love myself I refused to go on living in the past and worry about the future. Now I only live for the moment, where everything is happening. Today I live each day, day by day, and I call it “FULFILLMENT”. 

As I began to love myself I recognized that my mind can disturb me and it can make me sick. But as I connected it to my heart, my mind became a valuable ally. Today I call this connection “WISDOM THE HEART”.

We no longer need to fear arguments, confrontations or any kind of problems with ourselves or others. Even stars collide, and out of their crashing new worlds are born. Today, I knew “THAT IS LIFE”!
