"剩下歲月" 慈濟徐瑞云醫師

這篇文章寫得很有感受

人生步入老年,是可遇不可求的福氣。這個福,是自然自在的衰老過程和形式。

長壽,被嚮往;養生,被推崇;百歲,被期望。一生被名利所折磨、奔波的人們,又開始忙於琢磨如何長壽?

於是,又開始折騰起自身來了!

於是,高人全出來了!

專家說,學者說,醫生說,禪師說 …

講動的,講靜的,講吃素的,講拍手的,講泡腳的,講打拳的,講爬山的,講戒酒的 … 聽來聽去,仿佛是越活越不會活了?

試問一下,這些說教者,他們自己長壽嗎?

長壽的條件,天好,地好,人也好。如此奢侈,能自主嗎?

長壽的要素,遺傳,習慣,性格,心態。如此複雜,能優選嗎?

你問問山村的老農吧?

他們不懂養生,只求謀生;不懂健身,只愛勞動;不懂休閒,只慣安眠;

你問問百歲老人吧?

他們大概連半套養生也講不出來。講出來也未必符合 "標準"!

他們反倒有愛喝酒的,常抽煙的,吃肥肉的,從不體檢的,很少洗澡的 … 而且,多是歷經艱難,不輟勞辛,一生粗衣疏食的人。

哪個活法長壽?

老年的退化,應該視為正常,何必當做病變?

天天測血壓,量體重,形成負擔,為此食寢不安,反生大患。

抗衰老?衰老豈能抗,天下哪有長生不老的妙藥靈丹?

真善美,第一是真,有真才有善與美。

素面朝天是自信的美;薄施粉黛,是自尊的美。

敬畏生命!過度的治療,得到的是無尊嚴無意義的生命。

人生苦短。半百是短,百歲還是短。

人生來去,不過是幸運和遺憾的往復,不外是美好和煩惱的轉換。
過去的,感恩;未來的,祈禱。

其實,能屬於可以自主的東西很有限。

暴斂天物,大自然的報復多麼迅速驚心。安居樂業,似乎到了跟前,忽地又走遠了!

老年之福,不由主觀的設計、策劃。
老來之福,在於隨遇而安,及時行樂。

一切的一切,恰到好處,缺了不可,過了便錯。

生命是品質與數量的統一。品質第一,數量並不是生命的唯一追求。

長壽的前題是能自理,是少麻煩他人。

孔子所言:長壽多辱。“辱”就是失去了尊嚴。

優雅地老去,那是文化的境界;
體面地老去,那是物化的支撐。
二者的內涵太講究了。

還是心平氣和、從容地老去吧。
過你喜歡的生活,喜歡你過的生活。

很難給生命增加時間,
但可給時間增加生命

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (Movie, 2016)

The move starts off really slowly. I really think the lengthy introduction of so many new characters just ends up taking away from the story line. 

This does not "feel" like a Star Wars movie. Its best part was the last half hour though. It's definitely worth seeing in a big 3D IMAX theater.

Hell or High Water (Movie, 2016)

It's about two smart bank robbing brothers, well one of them is smart (Chris Pine) the other is crazy but loyal, and the Marshall (Jeff Bridges) who determined to hunt them down before he retires. A very strong film with fine casting and acting.

Transcendence (Movie, 2014)

Transcendence is focused on the love of a husband and wife, and their journey with very strange happenings based in science fiction.  I think we could actually learn a little from this, the development of a sentient computer, the ultimate in artificial intelligence. 

Dr. Will Caster: "For one hundred and thirty thousand years, our capacity to reason has remained unchanged. The combined intellect of the neuroscientists, mathematicians and engineers pales in comparison to the most basic A.I. Once online, a sentient machine will quickly overcome the limits of biology; in a short time, its analytic power will become greater than the collective intelligence of every person born in the history of the world. Some scientists refer to this as the Singularity. I call it Transcendence."

After Dr. Caster's death, Evelyn and Max came up with an interesting alternate solution that involves connecting Dr. Caster's consciousness to the quantum computer. That will set the stage for what I found to be an intriguing science fiction film. That surely made me pleasantly surprised.
