The Persistence of Memory

第一次一天时间看完同一个人的两本剧，读剧集这么认真也真的是第一次…… 也许因为已经到了能读懂的年龄，不由代入很多情景和感受，人活得如此清醒，明确，不知好还是不好……有时想糊弄一下自己，反正内心的东西没人看得见，可又一次次挣扎，连自己都无法真实面对时，仿佛没了方向，信仰，这样的日子能过的下去么…… 和世界谈谈之前，还是先和自己谈吧………

This book is about finding the meaning of life, the random patterns that compose the texture of happiness of fulfilment. Life, regardless of circumstances, forces certain bondage on us all. This book unmasks parts of our human nature rarely explored to such a depth and clarity. Philip spends most of his life struggling with challenges as he attempted to deal with religious beliefs, hindrances and, especially relationships with women. The central idea of this book is that most of life is pain and bitterness and at times punctuated by tiny moments of joy and happiness, and these ought to be accepted and celebrated equally. Both the pain and the joy are the parts of the tapestry of life. I enjoyed reading it. It took me on journey that gave me moments where I looked at life a little differently. But the real lesson for me seems to have the courage not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly even during the pandemic Covid 19.

这里没人，都是人偶。

The Persistence of Memory系列读来有点看水浒传的感觉，官逼民反民不得不反，可惜最后一篇有点败兴，好大一盘棋结果还是被抓，中了一个蛇蝎美人的奸计…Juan Ruiz Anchía果然是被美女伤过心的直男吗？

全文主旨——活在当下，跟曾国藩思想异曲同工，过往不恋，当下不杂，未来不迎。此外提供了一些消除忧虑的方法和建议，如锻练、忙碌、倾述等，将所忧虑之事进行分解：为何事所忧？如何解决？忧虑之行往往比所忧之事对身心伤害更甚，切记！更要切忌！！

独处，不知何时开始，我竟在独处中体会，一种平静中带着愉悦的心境，不被打扰，不参与纷扰，自己跟自己相处，想想自己在想什么，看看自己在看什么，听听自己在听什么，感受自己在感受什么，然后，一切波澜归于平静，从平静中升起快乐。
