上网的目的。
有跨坛老ID问我上网的目的,
但我上网只有一个目的:了解人性、观察人性,
我容得下各种各样的人,虽然我也会反击。
诗人鲁米的诗《客栈》正好表达了我上网的目的。
The Guest-House(Rumi)。
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain the all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture.
Still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice –
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
中文翻译(梁永安)
人就像一所客栈,
每个早晨都有新的客旅光临。
“欢愉”、“沮丧”、“卑鄙”
这些不速之客,
随时都有可能会登门。
欢迎并且礼遇他们!
即使他们是一群惹人厌的家伙,
即使他们
横扫过你的客栈,
搬光你的家具,
仍然,仍然要善待他们。
因为他们每一个
都有可能为你除旧布新,
带进新的欢乐。
不管来者是“恶毒”、“羞惭”还是“怨怼”,
你都当站在门口,笑脸相迎,
邀他们入内。
对任何来客都要心存感念,
因为他们每一个,
都是另一世界
派来指引你的向导。
