撐不起的善良

“贫苦时代的人们亲情都比较淡漠，即便是母女，父子，在贫困生活的压力下，也会尽显自私的一面。人要活的善良需要许多许许多多的条件，没有这些条件，善良的天性也会渐渐被埋没。很多人以为自己比那些穷苦的人更善良，其实他们只不过更幸运而已。 ”  --- 王志安

"父亲的一些老同事，老战友，老同学，老朋友在历次的运动中，自杀了。父亲是历次运动中的老“运动员”，但靠着自私与冷漠的心理保护，活了下来。"

善良會讓人死，自私和冷漠讓人活， 而這些活下來的幸存者主宰著未來，影響著下一代。

卑鄙是卑鄙者的通行证，

高尚是高尚者的墓志铭。

看吧，在那镀金的天空中，

飘满了死者弯曲的倒影。

冰川纪过去了，

为什么到处都是冰凌？

好望角发现了，

为什么死海里千帆相竞？

我来到这个世界上，

只带着纸、绳索和身影，

为了在审判之前，

宣读那些被判决了的声音：

告诉你吧，世界，

我——不——相——信！

纵使你脚下有一千名挑战者，

那就把我算做第一千零一名。

我不相信天是蓝的，

我不相信雷的回声；

我不相信梦是假的，

我不相信死无报应。

如果海洋注定要决堤，

就让所有的苦水都注入我心中；

如果陆地注定要上升，

就让人类重新选择生存的峰顶。

新的转机和闪闪的星斗，

正在缀满没有遮拦的天空，

那是五千年的象形文字，

那是未来人们凝视的眼睛。

Book review: Strangers to our selves: Understanding Minds and the stories that make us by Rachel Aviv

 Stories about 6 mentally ill people

• Rachel, author herself, checked into hospital at age of 6 for anorexia
• Ray, a middle aged cocasian man checked in Chesternut Lodge for depression. Fromm-Reichmann described loneliness ass "one of the least satisfactorily conceptualized psychological phenomena, not even mentioned in most psychiatric textbooks" - a state in which the "fact that there were people in one's past life is more or less forgotten, and the possibility that there may be interpersonal relationships in one's future lefe is out of the realm of expectation."

        About Naomi's mother Florida ---

                "She didn't know she was beautiful, she didn't know she was smart, she didn't know she could                     raise her kids by herself. She took the first thing that showed her some interest and ran with it.                     Think about her history. Your upbring will trickle down"

            Need of her pain being taken seriously

            Prescription cascade: The side effects of one prescription leads to a succession of new                                     prescriptions

            "On 7.5 milligrams, I am a better family member"

            I wish I had a more flexible approach toward my feelings of inadequacy ("I want to be someone 

                 better than me", I had written in my 2nd grade diary), but I also feel closer to that space of                         flexibility when I take Lexapro; it seems to relieve the cognitive rigidity that often                                 accompanies anxiety and depression - the sense that one's story can unfold only one way.
