Q:[HTML_REMOVED]Does[HTML_REMOVED]anybody[HTML_REMOVED]actually[HTML_REMOVED]enjoy[HTML_REMOVED]life?

真的会有人觉得生活很美好吗？

我周围的人都声称自己很享受生活，但我总很难相信他们。生活，于我而言，有着太多的痛苦。当然，偶尔也会有一些美好的瞬间，但总的来说，生活中不可预知性、人际关系、压力、期望等等，都会让我感觉糟透了。[HTML_REMOVED]

这些人说的都是真的吗？真的会有人觉得生活很美好吗？还是只有我会暗中觉得生活没那么美好？

Yes.

是。

来看看这张照片吧，世界上堆得最高的一堆生铁。照片来自维基百科，看着很漂亮。

瞧，当你想拍张好照片时，你得考虑很多东西。镜头、光线、滤光、透视、构图、时机、能否拍照、小偷、生活费等等，不胜枚举。从取景器中看过去时，你并不在这个世界中。你只是在自己的脑海里。

Like[HTML_REMOVED]the[HTML_REMOVED]photographer,[HTML_REMOVED]you're[HTML_REMOVED]looking[HTML_REMOVED]but[HTML_REMOVED]you're[HTML_REMOVED]not[HTML_REMOVED]really[HTML_REMOVED]seeing.

就像摄影师一样，你只是在观察，但并没有真的去体会。

You[HTML_REMOVED]look[HTML_REMOVED]at[HTML_REMOVED]life[HTML_REMOVED]and[HTML_REMOVED]complain[HTML_REMOVED]that[HTML_REMOVED]life[HTML_REMOVED]is[HTML_REMOVED]full[HTML_REMOVED]of[HTML_REMOVED]pain,[HTML_REMOVED]and[HTML_REMOVED]while[HTML_REMOVED]life[HTML_REMOVED]is[HTML_REMOVED]punctuated[HTML_REMOVED]by[HTML_REMOVED]great[HTML_REMOVED]moments,[HTML_REMOVED]you[HTML_REMOVED]don't[HTML_REMOVED]enjoy[HTML_REMOVED]it[HTML_REMOVED]as[HTML_REMOVED]a[HTML_REMOVED]whole.

你看着生活，抱怨生活充满痛苦。即使不时会有美妙的时刻穿插其中，总的来说，你也无法去享受生活。

依我所见，你就是在透过生活的取景器观察，伺机按下快门，捕捉你想要的画面。但按下快门之后你也不会兴奋很久，因为你已经开始寻找下一个按快门的时机，或是一遍遍回味过去，试图把之前错失的良机一个个揪出来，想着这都怪谁。又或者你会想像，如果一切都能按你想的顺理成章地发展下去，生活又会是什么样子的？当一切都趋于完美时，这永无止境的挑剔尤其无益。

猜猜怎么着？这些都是虚妄，只存在于你的脑海之中。而你不喜欢的那些，也并不是真正的生活。

你不喜欢的，是把你的实际生活和你不断变化但又达不到的理想生活相比较，是沉缅于已无法挽回的过去，是得到想要的后还会渴望更多。让你无法享受的是幻想，或者哪怕很平常的事情，但它们往往比简单、卑微、通常乏味无比的现实生活要吸引人得多。

的确，生活有悲有喜，但这只是丰富多彩的平凡生活的两端。总的来说，你不会有事的。许多人都在撒谎，更有甚者是在自欺欺人，但也有人说了实话。是的，是有人会觉得生活很美好，但也不总是那么美好[HTML_REMOVED][HTML_REMOVED]为什么你会希望总能如此？同时，也有人暗中觉得或者隐约表示他们认为生活没那么美好，包括我在内。 Life[HTML_REMOVED]becomes[HTML_REMOVED]a[HTML_REMOVED]much[HTML_REMOVED]more[HTML_REMOVED]enjoyable[HTML_REMOVED]ride[HTML_REMOVED]once[HTML_REMOVED]you[HTML_REMOVED]stop[HTML_REMOVED]confusing[HTML_REMOVED]it[HTML_REMOVED]with[HTML_REMOVED]what[HTML_REMOVED]you[HTML_REMOVED]thought[HTML_REMOVED]it[HTML_REMOVED]was,[HTML_REMOVED]or[HTML_REMOVED]what[HTML_REMOVED]you[HTML_REMOVED]wish[HTML_REMOVED]it[HTML_REMOVED]would[HTML_REMOVED]become,[HTML_REMOVED]and[HTML_REMOVED]simply[HTML_REMOVED]let[HTML_REMOVED]it[HTML_REMOVED]be[HTML_REMOVED]what[HTML_REMOVED]it[HTML_REMOVED]is.[HTML_REMOVED]Acceptance[HTML_REMOVED](not[HTML_REMOVED]to[HTML_REMOVED]be[HTML_REMOVED]confused[HTML_REMOVED]with[HTML_REMOVED]passivity)[HTML_REMOVED]is[HTML_REMOVED]your[HTML_REMOVED]ticket[HTML_REMOVED]to[HTML_REMOVED]wherever[HTML_REMOVED]you[HTML_REMOVED]need[HTML_REMOVED]to[HTML_REMOVED]go.[HTML_REMOVED]I[HTML_REMOVED]also[HTML_REMOVED]suggest[HTML_REMOVED]you[HTML_REMOVED]leave[HTML_REMOVED]the[HTML_REMOVED]camera[HTML_REMOVED]at[HTML_REMOVED]home.[HTML_REMOVED]Buy[HTML_REMOVED]postcards.

一旦你不再将生活与你的想象或期望混淆，而是让它该怎样就怎样，生活会变得愉快得多。接受，而非顺从，能引领你去任何你想去的地方。同时我也建议你把相机留在家里，买明信片去。
