先補上昨天沒寫的第八部分知識筆記,因為中午連讀代寫已經到13.50了,只好趕去實習基地幹活@@。

ok,接下來我想談談這本書。
#屁股決定腦袋。
這是個虛構的故事。故事是發生在學校。主人公是個孩子。
那麼我們就要 choose kind,因為這不是成年人的世界。
成年人的世界,註定是一個不完美、殘酷、充滿遺憾的世界。
而小孩子的世界也不會十全十美,主人公就是先天殘疾,還好是和平年代,家境富裕,父母心善,周遭溫暖,不然他肯定活不過出生當晚。
我們成年就是為了彌補遺憾,為小孩子創造家庭,為他們編造故事,溫暖孩子們,也溫暖了自己。
這是我對本書的想法,畢竟是個虛幻故事,我們這裡不必談什麼歷史,政治,科技,道德,房價,工作。我們只需要保護他們就好,等他們長大後,也會明白相互的責任,這就是人類的代際傳承吧。
但是虛幻也並不是沒有意義的,只要足夠精彩,然後我們欣賞就可以。與此同時也塑造了各自的價值觀。
在自我基本慾望滿足時,當然可以kinder than necessary,這也是因為西方社會比我們東方發達很多,他們也很早就邁入豐衣足食的社會的原因吧。
不管怎麼,我還是很喜歡讀書的,所以下一個月,就開始讀 when breath becomes air 這本吧。
這本書有兩個部分,共100多頁,分二十天讀完吧,一天讀十頁,一天寫筆記。這是本非虛幻書籍,分開來讀還好一點。而虛幻的故事書分開讀情節不是那麼緊湊,但比不讀好多了。
這本書里,主人公是位神經學家,2013年他36歲,發現自己已經是肺癌晚期,然後思考了很多,寫下了這本書,於2015年3月去世。
What makes life worth living in the face of death? What do you do when the future, no longer a ladder toward your goals in life, flattens out into a perpetual present? What does it mean to have a child, to nurture a new life as another fades away? These are some of the questions Kalanithi wrestles with in this profoundly moving, exquisitely observed memoir.
他寫這本書根本不可能考慮什麼暢銷,因為自己的事業也被病情折麽得無法繼續。
