有一趟我看見一個小孩和他的父親及哥哥、弟弟一起往踏自行車。父親在照顧弟弟,他在弄他的自行車。他那小身體突然被翻下來的自行車壓著。我不其然叫了一聲,正想上前幫他一把。他的父親一些也不緊張,只畧把他扶持,然後大家離去。我跟丈夫說這位外籍人士有點不甚禮貌,雖對我的幫忙全不需要也不應這樣的冷淡。我的丈夫解譯說,他工正在訓練他孩子的獨立性及應付能力而我這樣做他當然不欣賞。我覺得對,我們也應向這外籍父親學習,不要太溺愛我們小的。
工作累了。走到花園裏,躺在爸爸送的木椅,望向天。雲像水墨,很慢、很慢地化開-煞是好看。清風陣陣吹來,蓋上眼睛作小休。不消十分鐘,累氣、熱氣全消。大自然的享受真是無與倫比。
Light and delightful the music goes. Children are dancing. Some are wearing rags; most of them are on bare feet. But they are happy. The music is gaining momentum, the children are laughing loudly as they move. They have stopped to gain their breath. They forget their empty stomach; they forget bad memories. Music gives them joy.
The music is back on. The children are on their feet again. This time they start to dance in a circle. The circle comes together; the circle spreads out—in and out, in and out. They are in unison, they are linked. Hey! Can we adults be like them, in unison and link together? This is a time of globalization, we should be co-operating in harmony and not fighting till we hurt and kill each other. We should learn from these children, learn to co-exist, learn to learn from one another, learn to help each other; the world will then be one, linked together in one huge circle. Light and delightful the music goes. Smoothly the music ends. (This is written with the inspiration of the Beethoven's music) These days I have been bothered by problems which brings about depression, not serious ones, but I was like riding a roller coaster, one moment I could be happy and the next I could be depressed. All these minor depressions were connected with people I love most who are hurting me in different ways. Luckily they don't constantly do that. It's just that I feel unhappy when they do. C'mon who don't have unhappy moments, even though I've been saying that I'm happy everyday. The moment I get out of being depressed I'm happy again; although lately the unhappy moments come a bit too often. Fortunately now I know how to deal with these situations. I sulk, everyone is allowed to sulk when they are not happy, at least until my anger is gone; I listen to music, I sing along and I move my feet and snap my fingers according to the beat; or I watch something funny, friends always have comical video clips forwarding to friends; or talk to someone, close like a husband or a good friend and they may revive something funny that had happened in the past and then laugh, laugh loud and enjoy that laugh. All these will take the depression off me. Try it and I hope you'll lose whatever depression you are having!
