Her partner is a good family man。 He would dearly like to have legal rights to his own children; see them bear his name; be joint owner of the home they share。 As it is; their mother could at any time lock the door; throw him out; walk off with a new lover; taking the children with her。
I know a couple: a middle…aged business…man and a younger; professional woman。 His first marriage ended in divorce。 It cost him a lot of money。 Never again; he vows; will he put himself at such disadvantage。
His partner dreams of marriage and a family; but her reality is a long…term limbo。 The man’s friends don’t quite accept her。 The ex…wife won’t let the children meet her。 Occasions with his family place her discreetly in the background。 She feels they all regard her as inferior: the one not good enough; or loved enough; to be his wife。
There must be many similar scenarios; where the ones who; for reasons of their own; won’t mit themselves have it all their way; whilst those willing to give themselves freelysuffer in silence。
“How is married life?” I asked a childhood friend over a cup of coffee。 We were in our mid…twenties; hadn’t seen each other for years。 I’d heard she’d got married shortly after leaving school。
Duality 二重性(3)
“Not all it’s cracked up to be。” There was no mistaking the disillusion in her voice。 As she busied herself stirring her coffee; a tear fell from her eye; straight into the cup。
“He doesn’t make me happy;” she revealed despondently; surprising me; who had girlish illusions of marriage as a state of eternal bliss。 “What about him?” I inquired。 “How does he feel?”
Her reply was a blank look。 I probed further: “Is he unhappy; too?” She shrugged。 “Haven’t you talked to him about it?” “There’s no point;” she said dismissively。 “He’s not what I had hoped for。”
The girl may have been young and spoilt; but I’ve thought of her often in terms of relationships thwarted as a gap opens up between the expectations of one party and the failure to deliver of the other。
Who of the parties is to blame? The one making excessive; unrealistic demands; or the one who won’t – or can’t – measure up?
Probably both; for failing to make the necessary promises to meet halfway。
Waiting on the quay in Roundstone; I spotted an author whom I knew slightly。 With me was a friend: an intrepid woman who had spent years of her life paddling a canoe round Papua New Guinea teaching English to the native population。
We chatted with him; until the craft arrived to take us away to an off…shore island。 The author stared aghast from us to the rib。 “You’re going off – in that?”
“Why ever not?” we asked; disconcerted。 He shook his head incredulously。 “I can’t see either of you getting into a boat like that。”
We leapt in like gazelles in front of him; though our morale was at an all…time low。 “How did this happen?” we asked ourselves dejectedly。 “How did we bee so dull; middle…aged and frumpish; that other people can’t imagine us having a bit of fun?”
Months later; when I next met the author; he was still going on about the two of us setting off in the rib。 Annoyed; I challenged him: “What was so strange about that?”
He smiled deprecatingly。 “It’s just that I have a problem with boats。 A kind of phobia。 I wouldn’t get into one of those rubber dinghies if my life depended on it。”
And I noted; yet again; how easy it is to view things purely out of your own perspective; overlooking the fact that the other person is doing eactly the same。
No matter how placid and peaceful you are; it will occasionally happen that people you have no reason to dislike turn out to be your enemy。 Go out of their way to spite and slander; sabotage your best efforts; injure where it hurts most。
Like any decent person; you will react to such unexplained hostility by searching deep into your memory to find the underlying reason。 What could you have done to provoke such antagonism? Stepped on a tender toe? Missed an important message? You’ll be anxious to put things right。
That won’t be easy; however; if the crime of which you’re guilty is; simply; to be yourself: something you’d be at pains to alter。
There are people who will detest you for the way you look; or talk; or smile。 Nothing to do with unpleasant characteristics; wrongdoings or shortings。 Usually it is your very best qualities that are causing the annoyance。
People of the kind who take offence where no offence is meant also tend to cultivate hatred of anyone better adjusted。 They’ll never forgive you and they’ll see to it that you’re punished。
When you next have a run…in with one of these; don’t let it upset you。 Just run as fast as you can; taking care to remind yourself that you’re not the one with a problem。

全球变暖正包围着整个世界。大自然的这一不友好信号,在北半球正通过加速南极洲的冰山融化速度传递着。全球变暖也正在让全世界各个角落的气候发生变化。
最近的研究显示,地球的生态系统之间非常相近:南极洲的珊瑚和浮游生物对气候变化的反应影响着北部海域中的类似物种,尽管二者所遭遇的环境变化并不完全相同。
如果在一个遥远地方使用一罐烟雾剂,就会对地球另一端的生物有机体产生影响。那么,我们是否也可以将其解读成:地球上的一切事物在本质上都或多或少地存在联系呢?
伟大的思想者一直都认为,联系处处存在,没有什么是孤立的,人尤其如此。
我们都是同一个大系统中的一部分,比珊瑚虫和浮游生物有更多的彼此联系和彼此依赖。然而,不同的是,我们都保有某种程度的控制。我们能够决定自己,也能决定自己和外物的关联程度。
我们应该铭记自己有多强大——所采取的每一个行动、所讲的每一个字、所想的每一个念头,都足以对这个世界产生或好或坏的影响。
当今的西方世界非常重视智力二字。在人类的所有特性之中,这似乎是最令人垂涎的。每个人都希望自己聪明,只有傻瓜才想让自己愚蠢。
一些正式的IQ测试主要是基于对人类语言和数学技巧的衡量来设计的。它们与文化和背景不相关,但是,这些难道不正应该是我们的学校要去尽力鼓励和培养的吗?
这可能会让你心生疑问——我们现代的课程设计是不是?
