"Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish."

('You've got to find what you love -- Steve Jobs)

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

('You've got to find what you love -- Steve Jobs)

"You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle."

"If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right."

"Remembering that you are going to die is the best way (...) to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart."

續上篇

梁煥松先生在杜十娘(下) <http://chrisleung1954.mysinablog.com/index.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=205197> 也引用了一般教科書對杜十娘描寫來做開端,之後他就說了自己的觀點,大部分跟我所抱的看法相同。

但他也作了另一個假設︰

「假如她當時哈哈大笑,「曬」出一大箱財寶然後揚長而去,保留了自尊和生命,然後逍遙自在「睇李甲點死」,豈不更妙……」

我認為她

「...... 自十三歲破瓜,今一十九歲,七年之內,不知歷過了多少公子王孫。一個個情迷意蕩,破家蕩產而不惜......」

滿以為李甲可附托終生,到頭來發現他跟其他男人一樣不中用,失望至極。既然男人靠不住,又覺悟自己無親無故,徒有萬金生存也無意思,不如一死做烈女好過。

她自幼就生活係妓院,對外面世界認識相信不深,以為所見過的男人就代表了全部,可以說是一個井底之蛙。她用了七年才找到比較好的李甲,失去了他,也就失去了唯一的依靠,缺少社會經歷的她難免對未來充滿恐懼。可能就因為咁,她做不成梁先生假設中的俠女,只能做個同歸於盡,一拍兩散的柔弱女子。

梁先生最後說︰

「好了好了,以今人的價值觀責難古人,當然並不恰當;但是我們讀古書應該活學活用,吸收教訓作為現代的參考,那是準沒錯的了。杜十娘的困惑,其實我們在今日時常有的,您又會怎樣處理呢?」

是的。處身事外想就容易,若是當事人又會如何呢?
