| 给自己的,短短的,一篇省思。。。
以下这则故事,是从佳铃(谢谢你啊!感恩!感恩!)转发给我的电邮中转贴过来的。
A girl in love asked her boyfriend..
Girl (g): Tell me... who do you love most in this world? Boy (b): You, of course! (g): In your heart, what am I to you? (b): The boy thought for a moment and looked intently in her eyes and said, "You are my rib. In the Quran, it was said that God saw that Adam was lonely, during his sleep; God took one of Adam's rib and created Eve. Every man has been searching for his missing rib, only when you find the woman of your life; you'll no longer feel the lingering ache in your heart."
After their wedding, the couple had a sweet and happy life for a while. However, the youthful couple began to drift apart due to the busy schedule of life and the never-ending worries of daily problems....their life became mundane.... All the challenges posed by the harsh realities of life began to gnaw away their dreams and love for each other... The couple began to have more quarrels and each quarrel became more heated.. One day, after the quarrel, the girl ran out of the house.... At the opposite side of the road, she shouted, "You don't love me!" The boy hated her childishness and out of impulse, retorted, "Maybe, it was a mistake for us to be together! You were never my missing rib!" Suddenly, she turned quiet and stood there for a long while.... He regretted what he said but words spoken are like thrown away water, you can never take it back. With tears, she went home to pack her things and was determined in breaking-up. Before she left the house, "If I'm really not your missing rib, please let me go.....She continued, "It is less painful this way... let us go on our separate ways and search for our own partners..."
Five years went by....
He never remarried but he had tried to find out about her life indirectly...... She had left the country and back.... She had married a foreigner and divorced..... He felt anguished that she never waited for him. In the dark and lonely night, he lit his cigarette and felt the lingering ache in his heart. He couldn't bring himself to admit that he was missingher..
One day, they finally met.... At the airport, a place where there were many reunions and good-byes.... He was going away on a business trip. She was standing there alone, with just the security door separating them. She smiled at him gently. (b): How are you? (g): I'm fine. How about you... Have you found your missing rib? (b): No. (g): I'll be flying to New York in the next flight. (b): I'll be back in 2 weeks time. Give me a call when you are back...You know my number... Nothing has changed.
With a smile, she turned around and waved good-bye..
Good-bye.....
One week later, he heard of her death. She had perished in New York. In the event that shocked the world.. Midnight..... Once again, he lit his cigarette..... And like Before, he felt the lingering ache in his heart.... He finally knew, she was the missing rib that he had carelessly broken....
Sometimes, people say things out of moments of fury..... Most often than not, the outcome could be disastrous and detrimental....We vent our frustrations 99% at our loved ones.... And even though we know that we ought to "think twice and act wisely", it's often easier said than done. Things happen each day, many of which are beyond our control....Let us treasure every moment and everyone in our lives....Tomorrow may never come; give and accept what you have today.
一口气看完了,我有一种被当头棒喝的感觉。令我感动而有所领悟的不是这爱情故事,而是故事最后一段指我们往往把生活上的不满及怨气都发泄在自己所爱的(我觉得应该说是爱我们的)人身上而不自知。可不是吗?想想我自己时常用不耐烦的语气来回应父母对我的关心(或担心)。。。“哎哟,年轻人就是这样的啦,其他人也是这样,你们做么想酱多?” 对於父母亲的善意安排,我往往会这样回应:“唉!我自己的事我自己处理啦!我自己有分寸的啦!” 或者:“做么要酱麻烦的?” 又或者:“老土到要死,同学会笑死啦,我才不要!” 或走到饭厅,看到妈妈刚煮好的菜肴,就问:“今天就吃这些啊?做么是这些菜,我都不喜欢吃的。。。(然后还皱眉头)”。。。其实还有很多,太多太多了,根本无法一一例出来。我的脾气快来快去,往往会让我在快人快语中伤害了父母亲的心,然后就在话说出口的数秒钟内后悔不已。可是一言既出,驷马难追,特别是伤害别人的话,说了出来,就会造成极大的伤害。我一直在想,为什么我可以对一个跟我无关痛痒(或没什么交情) 的人如此的客气,如此宽宏大量;却对养我、育我的父母亲如此无礼、霸道。今天有这么一个机缘看到这篇文章,是个很好的省思,希望下次跟父母说话时,我会是一个懂事的孩子。愿与大家共勉之。 |
