《Seven times have I despised my soul》《我曾七次鄙视自己的灵魂》——Kahlil Gibran 纪伯伦The first time when I saw her being meek that she might attain height第一次当灵魂本可进取时却故作谦卑The second time when I saw her limping before the crippled第二次当灵魂在空虚时用爱欲来填充//////第二次当我看到灵魂在瘸子面前跛行而过时The third time when she was given to choose between the hard and the easy, and she chose the easy第三次当在困难和容易之间选择时灵魂选择了容易。The fourth time when she committed a wrong, and comforted herself that others also commit wrong.第四次当灵魂犯了错时却借由别人也会犯错来宽慰自己The fifth time when she forbore for weakness, and attributed her patience to strength第五次当灵魂自由软弱时///她容忍了软弱却把它认为是生命的坚韧The sixth time when she despised the ugliness of a face, and knew not that it was one of her own masks第六次当灵魂鄙夷一张丑恶的嘴脸时却不知那正是自己面具中的一副And the seventh time when she sang a song of praise, and deemed it a virtue第七次灵魂侧身于生活的污泥中虽不甘心却又畏首畏尾-------------------------------------作者以“自己的灵魂”为名看穿人性所共有的弱点他呼吁人们涤荡自己的灵魂唾弃丑恶追求高尚每一次的鄙视都是对自己灵魂的拷问鄙视的不仅仅是自己还有芸芸众生生命本该绽放奈何现实令我们怯懦迷茫 犹豫 徘徊余华在《活着》中说道生命是属于每个人自己的感受并不属于任何别人的看法若将这些感受的片段都连成了线直至再也没有新的感受增加那也意味着一个人生的谢幕那便是一个人完整的人生
