這集的內容,主要是回覆聽眾G認真的留言。她分享了自己的故事與掙扎,我思考良久,有了這一集的內容,談一談我不擅長的....抉擇。
我很不擅於做決定。人生中,只有兩件事我很篤定:信仰,以及婚姻。至於其他的大小事,我有嚴重的選擇障礙。因此,談及抉擇,我明白在當中的掙扎,也因此苦過、甜過、感慨過。但,回過頭來想,能夠選擇,不也是一種特權嗎?
夜闌人靜時,心底長想起這首詩 The Road Not Taken未行之路。Robert Frost把抉擇表達地多深刻。與每一個在抉擇中,問自己「值得嗎」的你我共勉。那個答案,不在二選一、非黑即白的抉擇中,而是認真活在那個被選擇的當下,100%的活著。
The Road Not Taken Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
