采访上帝

西西

"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 ever 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.


“进来吧。”上帝对我说，“你想采访我？”
“如果您有时间的话。”我说。
上帝的笑容在胡须下绽放，他说道：“我时间的名字叫做不朽，足够做一切事情；你心里有什么想问我的？”
“对您来讲没有什么是新鲜的。有关人类，您感到最吃惊的事情是什么呢？”
上帝回答道：“他们厌烦做孩子，急着长大，然后又渴望变回孩子。他们牺牲自己的健康去挣钱，然后又牺牲金钱去重建他们的健康。他们忧虑未来，他们忘却现在，以至于他们活的既不是为了现，在也不是为了将来。他们活的好像永远不会死（放纵），他们死去的时候好像从未活过（一事无成）……”
上帝握着我的手，沉默。过了很长一段时间，我说：“我能再问您一个问题吗？”
上帝微笑的回答我。
“作为一名父亲，您会让您的孩子们在新的一年做些什么？”
“明白他们不能让别人去爱他们，他们能做的只是让他们自己被爱。（指要改变自己，让自己值得去爱）
