Destiny —— 《Serendipity》



如果是若干年前白衣飘飘的年代看,我或许会羡慕这所谓的追寻真爱之旅而不去置疑任何合理性;而今看来,我只是落得一头雾水,it really doesn’t make any sense to me!      


如果真的是一见钟情,郎有心,妾有意,又为何会听任电梯的拨弄擦肩而过从此散失于茫茫人海?如果真的是刻骨铭心,又怎会短短几年,罗敷有夫,使君有妇?又为何要一直等到无名指上套上”MR/MRS not Right”的戒指时才猛然醒悟开始追寻决定落跑?感情不是过家家,而那些周遭无辜的人即便不是他们的soul mate,也不deserve如此的戏弄和伤害。      


Yes, life is not merely a series of meaningless accidents or coincidences; Yes, it might be showing us some signs; Yes, if we are to live life in harmony with the universe, we must possess a powerful faith in what the ancients used to call “fatum”, what we currently refer to as destiny. But, we can’t leave it all to chance, or I should say, we can’t just create the chance so shallowly like that to find out so called destiny.      


In the end, I recall what a psychologist said: “True love is not a feeling by which we are overwhelmed. It is a committed, thoughtful decision.” Well, based on this statement, I don’t think theirs is true love.
