活着就是幸福

写出这几个字,是对最近涌金集团魏东自杀事件深感痛惜。昨天这个时候,我还不知道魏东是何许人也。读了余华的悼文后,我才知道这世上又多了个英华早逝的精英。

和小崔相比,魏东若是能早点儿实话实说该多好啊。失眠,抑郁,确实是生命的大敌。不知他生前是忌病讳医,还是病情控制得不好?

不久前,我遇到一位小巧玲珑的少妇。我发现,厚厚的胭脂,根本无法遮掩她的一脸倦容。我疑惑,她这是有喜了,还是刚下夜班?

她对我很坦然,并伴以一个无可奈何的微笑“失眠,我经常失眠”。

仔细聊了几句后,我吃惊地发现,这位少妇对付失眠的武器是,熬啊,活生生地干熬。她既不看医生,也不吃安眠药。

是啊,很多人担心吃了安眠药会成瘾,会产生依赖性等等。对,任何药都有副作用,能不用当然为好。可是,当失眠已经威胁了患者的自身健康时,朋友,还是接受治疗吧。

遇到压力,男人总想把一切都自己扛。在我看来,这不是心太软,而是心太硬了。爱人,朋友,邻居,甚至是路上素不相识的行人,善良的微笑和友好的祝福,也可以充当生命的良药啊。

除了疾病相缠,轻生者肯定会和心情郁闷相关。我常常想,人怎么才会快乐呢?对如今的富人阶层来说,发财暴富,一夜春宵,都不是什么难事。可是,当歌舞升平一掷千金之后,心里是不是觉得空空如也?而对那些付出很多而收获甚微的草根来说,究竟要等到什么时候才可以看到灿烂的明天呢?美国式结婚,中国式离婚,七年之痒,八年抗战,九年冬眠,十年完蛋。这世上,到底谁在快乐呢?

不禁想起孙悦唱过的一首活蹦乱跳的歌“怎样HAPPY”。演绎一下歌词,我对快乐的体会是,没心没肺,冲动一次无论乐与悲,死活就是不后悔。当人修炼到这份上了,即使谁想不让他快乐,难着呢。

天不夺人愿,上帝掌管明天。哥们,站直了,别趴下。无论如何,你得挺住。无论贵贱,无论美丑,不管你说谁,活着,就是幸福。

今日新闻说,据缅甸国营媒体最新消息,缅甸军政府日前发布消息称热带风暴导致的死亡人数已经上升至22500人,失踪人数上升至4.1万,至少有数十万人无家可归。和这些灾民相比,我们活着是多么的幸福。

我们的生活充满阳光,幸福像花一样。

Life Is Good

While shopping in a nearby tourist town, I wandered into a small store stuffed with clothing and other items all marked with the slogan “Life is good.” Sometimes we need to remind ourselves of that simple truth.

When the work of earning a living, raising a family, maintaining health and fitness, and managing relationships starts to overwhelm us, it’s good to think about how small our part in the universe really is. While we obsess over our work, God quietly does His. He keeps the earth rotating, the planets revolving, and the seasons changing. Without any help from us, He makes the sun rise every morning and set every evening. Every night He changes the pattern of lights in the sky. He turns out the light so we can sleep, and turns it on again so we can see to work and play. Without lifting a finger, we get to enjoy sunrises and sunsets. Every year the seasons change on schedule. We don’t need to pray about it or tell God that it’s time to send spring. All that He does reminds us He is good (Acts 14:17).

Life will at times be difficult, often it is painful, and for now it is imperfect. But still it is good, for in all these things nothing can separate us from God’s lavish expressions of love (Rom. 8:39).
