Viewpoint 006. Perseverance and Letting Go

今天請ChatGPT幫忙校稿時
我忽然玩心一起跟它說:
「請大神幫檢查」

它聽得懂
並一如既往平靜地說
Sure, here’s a revised version of your text

這種輕描淡寫接下稱讚的反應
讓我不禁想要微笑

左京研討會第六篇

執著與放下

在你的過往經驗裡
有沒有遇過一些人
總是充滿幹勁
專注在一個方向使勁衝
好像是火箭或煙火似的

同樣的
你有沒有遇過另一些人
總是生活得很平靜
並未對特定的人生目標有執著
但他們可能很注重生活體驗
像是來這世界旅遊一般

我曾學過生物學
所以當我觀察到這兩種
截然不同的性格時
我會開始思考
這些特質在遠古時代
會帶給部落的人們什麼好處

很明顯的
把能量專注在一個方向
能夠使人走得更遠
而不帶目的性的體驗
能夠讓人掌握更多細節

每次我觀察這種人們的多樣性時
都會覺得很有趣
總是能找到每種事物
存在的原因或價值

衝刺型的人們
和平和型的人們
都可以在自己的方向上
找到快樂和能量

而大部分人們的性格
都落在這兩種狀態的中間地帶
可能有些人比較偏好衝刺
有些人比較偏向放鬆
有時候隨著年齡的增長
人也會漸漸從堅持轉為放下

個人來說
我天生是比較平和緩慢的
很容易放下
對事物不太有執著
但當我對某件事物感興趣時
也會投注很多心力在上面

這樣的性格一方面來說
導致我人生裡
沒有什麼值得一提的成就
但從另外的角度來看
我也經歷了不少新鮮有趣的人生體驗

我總是覺得自己
可以隨時登出這世界
沒有什麼留戀和羈絆

但這並不是指想要躺平
或放棄一切

相反的正因這種心態
我時常感謝新的一天
能夠再次降臨
並對這世界保持好奇心

Perseverance and Letting Go

In your life experience, have you ever met some people who are full of energy, focused on one direction, and rush forward as if they were a rocket or firework? While others, in contrast, usually live peacefully without much perseverance, but they may care deeply about life experiences, as if they were tourists.

As a biologist, when I observed these two kinds of characteristics, I started thinking: what benefits would these traits bring to a group of humans in an ancient tribe?

Apparently, concentrating your energy in one direction can help you go further, while observing without a specific purpose can help you notice more details. I find it fascinating to discover diversity of humans every time. I can always find reasons and value in why something exists.

Both rushing people and peaceful people can feel happy and gain energy in their own ways. Most of us are somewhere in between; some tend to rush a little bit, while others tend to be a bit more casual.Sometimes, as people age, they gradually shift from holding on to letting go.

Personally, I am naturally peaceful and slow. I easily let things go but stick to what interests me. On one hand, I haven’t achieved any great accomplishments in my life. On the other hand, I’ve experienced many good things. I think I can leave this world anytime without persistence or attachment. However, that doesn’t mean I want to give up everything and just lie down. I truly appreciate every new day and remain curious about the world.
