对未来的真正慷慨 是把一切献给现在

2020 年有一个充满惊吓的开场

伊朗的导弹危机

中国的肺炎疫情

惊吓打破了一些常规

让人焦虑、恐惧

让人觉得新的十年

会更动乱、更不可预测

战战兢兢地等下一个意外

但变化也并不全是坏事

它给我们更多独处的时间

从日常的生活节律里脱离

看到真正的价值

重新思考方向

和行动的意义

在新一年里

我们一起静下心来

做长期有价值的事情

加缪在《鼠疫》里写——

习惯绝望的处境

比绝望本身更可悲

而对未来的真正慷慨

是把一切献给现在

新年快乐

年后再见～

Barry McGuire -

Eve Of Destruction

The eastern world it is exploding Violence flarin', bullets loadin' You're old enough to kill but not for votin' You don't believe in war but what's that gun you're totin' And even the Jordan River has bodies floatin' But you tell me Over and over and over again my friend Ah you don't believe We're on the eve of destruction Don't you understand what I'm trying to say? Can't you feel the fears I'm feeling today? If the button is pushed there's no running away There'll be no one to save with the world in a grave Take a look around you boy It's bound to scare you boy And you tell me Over and over and over again my friend Ah you don't believe We're on the eve of destruction Yeah my blood's so mad, feels like coagulatin' I'm sitting here just contemplatin' I can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation And a handful of senators don't pass legislation And marches alone can't bring integration When human respect is disintegratin' This whole crazy world is just too frustratin' And you tell me Over and over and over again my friend Ah you don't believe We're on the eve of destruction. Ah think of all the hate there is in Red China Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama You may leave here for four days in space But when you return it's the same old place The pounding of the drums the pride and disgrace You can bury your dead but don't leave a trace Hate your next-door neighbor but don't forget to say grace And tell me over and over and over and over again my friend You don't believe We're on the eve of destruction Ah, no you don't believe We're on the eve of destruction
