采访上帝
荷叶/译
“请进，”上帝对我说，“你是要采访我吗？”
“如果您有时间的话。”
上帝透过长长的胡须笑着说：“我的时间叫永恒，我有足够的时间做每一件事情。你想问什么问题？”
“没什么新鲜的，人类哪一件事让你最吃惊？”
上帝答道：“做孩子时烦，想尽快长大，大了又想回到孩提时代；为了挣钱不顾健康，为了恢复健康又一掷千金；焦虑将来而忘记现在，因此，既不活在当下，也不活在将来；活时好像永远不会死，死时又好像从来没活过。”
上帝握住我的手，陷入了沉默。过了许久，我说：“我可以再问一个问题吗？”
他答以一个微笑。
“作为父亲，新的一年你对自己的孩子们有什么要求？”
“要知道他们不能使任何人爱自己，只能使自己变得可爱。
要知道建立信任需要多年，毁掉信任仅需几秒。
要知道生活中最有价值的不是拥有什么，而是拥有谁。
要知道最富有的人不是因为拥有的最多，而是因为需要的最少。
要学会控制自己的态度，否则会被自己的态度所控制。
要知道打开深深的创伤仅需几秒，而愈合伤口却需要多年。
要通过宽恕别人来学会宽恕。
要知道有些人深深地爱着，就是不知如何表达。
要知道金钱可以买到一切，但买不到幸福。
要知道虽然他们有时有权不高兴，但却无权使周围的人不高兴。
要知道实现伟大的梦想需要的不是翅膀，而是一个降落装置。
要知道真正的朋友很罕见，找到了朋友也就找到了珍宝。
要知道凡事秘而不宣，他是主人，到处张扬，他是奴隶。
要知道种瓜得瓜，种豆得豆。种植流言蜚语，收获神神秘秘；种植爱心，收获幸福。
要知道真正的幸福不是实现目标，而是满足于已经实现的目标。
要知道幸福只是一个决定，是为现在的自己以及现有所拥有的而幸福，还是为现在所没有的羡慕妒忌而死。
要知道两个人看待同一件事，所见可能完全不同。
要知道那些心地坦诚的人并不没有考虑到深远的后果。
要知道虽然认为自己一无所有，但当朋友哭泣时，他们还是有力量进行抚慰。
要知道试图抓牢所爱的人，实际是在将他们迅速推离；而放手，得到的却是永远的并肩而立。
附：原文
Interview the God "Come in," God said to me, "so, you would like to interview Me?" "If you have the time," I said. He smiled through His beard and said: "My time is called eternity and is enough to do everything; what questions do you have in mind to ask me?" "None that are new to you. What's the one thing that surprises you most about mankind?" He answered: "That they get bored of being children, are in a rush to grow up, and then long to be children again. That they lose their health to make money and then lose their money to restore their health. That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live neither for the present nor the future. That they live as if they will never die, and they die as if they never had never lived..." His hands took mine and we were silent. After a long period, I said, "May I ask you another question?" He replied with a smile. "As a Father, what would you ask your children to do for the new year?" "To learn that they cannot make anyone love them. What they can do is to let themselves be loved. To learn that it takes years to build trust, and a few seconds to destroy it. To learn that what is most valuable is not what they have in their lives, but who they have in their lives. To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others. There will be others better or worse than they are. To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most, but is one who needs the least. To learn that they should control their attitudes, otherwise their attitudes will control them. To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in persons we love, and that it takes many years to heal them. To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness. To learn that there are persons that love them dearly, but simply do not know how to show their feelings. To learn that money can buy everything but happiness. To learn that while at times they may be entitled to be upset, that does not give them the right to upset those around them. To learn that great dreams do not require great wings, but a landing gear to achieve. To learn that true friends are scarce, he/she who has found one has found a true treasure. To learn that they are masters of what they keep to themselves and slaves of what they say. To learn that they shall reap what they plant; if they plant gossip they will harvest intrigues, if they plant love they will harvest happiness. To learn that true happiness is not to achieve their goals but to learn to be satisfied with what they already achieved. To learn that happiness is a decision. They decide to be happy with what they are and have, or die from envy and jealousy of what they lack. To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see something totally different. To learn that those who are honest with themselves without considering the consequences go far in life. To learn that even though they may think they have nothing to give, when a friend cries with them, they find the strength to appease the pain. To learn that by trying to hold on to love ones, they very quickly push them away; and by letting go of those they love, they will be side by side forever. |
