你是「生活」這所全日制學校的學生,每天都有機會學習各門課程。無論你喜歡與否,這些都是你的必修課。
為什麼你會生活在這裡?你生活的目的何在?長久以來,人們都在探尋人生的意義。然而,每一代人都忽略了一個事實——人生的意義並不是一個答案,生活的意義是因人而異的。
人各有志,每個人的人生目的和道路都不盡相同。在人生的旅途上,你需要不斷地學習,只有這樣,才有望實現人生目標。你所學的知識是特意為你而設的,而探尋人生意義、實現人生目標的關鍵則在於認真學習這些經驗並汲取教訓。
在生命旅程中,別人不必面對的挑戰和教訓,你或許要面對;當然,別人為之奮鬥多年的諸多挑戰,你也許不必應對。你擁有幸福的婚姻,而你的朋友卻要飽嘗婚姻之苦,承受離婚之痛,正如這些你大概永遠都沒法弄明白。同樣,對於你疲於奔命,卻過著拮据的生活,而你的朋友卻過著安逸優越的生活,你也可能無法理解。但有一點是肯定的,就是那些注定要學的知識與經驗你定會有緣相識。至於是否願意學,則完全取決於你自己。
因此,這裡的挑戰在於你要汲取各種不同的經驗和教訓,以使你的生活符合自己獨特的人生道路。這是你一生都要面對的最嚴峻的挑戰。之所以這樣說,是因為人生道路各有差別。但是,謹記——不要與周圍的人相比,計較不同的經驗和教訓;你要學的東西是你力所能及的,並且是特意為你的成長量身定制的。
事事公正、人人平等是我們的願望,這即是所謂的公平感。然而,事實上,生活並非總是公平的,或許命運不應該這樣安排,但你的人生就是有可能比別人艱辛、坎坷。每個人的情況不同,所以,也該用不同的方法對待自己的境遇。若想擁有平和的心境,就不可存有悲觀厭世的心態。過於計較世事的不公,容易自輕自賤,從而發現不了自己的獨特之處。因受憤世嫉俗、懊惱煩悶的情緒干擾,你也許會錯過許多自己該學的課程。
