Sinopse
The art of living is to know when to hold fast and when to let go. For life is a paradox: it enjoins us to cling to its many gifts even while it ordains their eventual relinquishment.生活的艺术在于懂得什么时候追求,什么时候放弃。因为生活就是一个矛盾体:它要我们紧紧抓住它赐予我们的生命之礼,然后最终又让它们从我们手中跑掉。The rabbis of old put it this way: “A man comes to this world with his fist clenched, but when he dies, his hand is open.”老先生们说:“人们紧握着拳头来到这个世界上,离开这个世界时却摊开了双手。”Surely we ought to hold fast to life, for it is wondrous, and full of a beauty that breaks through every pore of God’s own earth.当然我们应该紧紧把握生活,因为它美妙得不可思议,充满了从上帝的每个毛孔里蹦出来的美。We know that this is so, but all too often we recognize this truth only in our backward glance when we remember what was and then suddenly realize that it is no more.我们都清楚这一点,但我们常常只有在回首往事时才会想起过去,才会突然意识到过去永远地消逝了,才会承认这个道理。We remember a beauty that faded, a love that waned. But we remember with far greater pain that we did not see that beauty when it flowered, that we failed to respond with love when it was tendered.我们都记得美的褪去,爱的老去。但我们更痛苦地记得
