庄子的翅膀

叶春雷

人到中年,活着感觉越来越沉重。这种沉重就像一个人陷入沼泽,你拼命想挣脱泥水的围困,想让自己的身体变得轻盈,从而从泥沼的吸引中脱颖而出,但是你似乎越挣扎,陷得越深。

我感觉自己正陷入这种恐惧。我周围的生活就像一个巨大的泥沼,我深陷其中,不能自拔。这时候我想到了庄子,想到了那个贫穷而中年丧妻的庄子。这只蝴蝶,或者大鹏。这是长翅膀的庄子,从人世的巨大泥沼中超脱出来从而变得轻盈无比的庄子。比起我生活的时代,庄子的周围才真正称得上是一个巨大的泥沼,一个恐怖的陷阱。庄子,包括和庄子一样地位卑微的士以及比庄子地位更加卑微也更多数的庶,他们只是君主的猎物,被围困在君主的苑囿里,君主什么时候高兴了或者不高兴了,就宰杀一只,纯粹为了娱乐。那是一个毫无生命尊严的时代,那是一个人命低于草菅的时代。

庄子也是一只猎物呀,被君主围捕,但却冲破君主的包围圈,胜利大逃亡了。对于士,君主不是纯粹用刀剑来对付,他们还用蜂蜜和甜酒,用玉帛和铜币。他们要让一部分猎物成为自己的宠物,供自己取乐,同时也会为自己充当爪牙,去猎杀更加低级的庶。

庄子被诱惑。楚王派使者持千金来了。楚王要降服这一只桀骜不驯的猎物。温柔的大网张开了,暗藏杀机。但庄子就是不入其彀中。庄子选择了突围。庄子冲天而起。庄子就是这样被逼出了一双翅膀。

庄子从此不再是一只猎物。庄子完成了自己。因为有了翅膀。因为舍弃。庄子获得了前所未有的自由。自由是什么?自由是你一无所有之后,还能自信地对所有的人说:我富甲天下。我们有这种气魄吗?没有。所以我们成不了庄子。

庄子曾经向监河侯贷粟。因为庄子家贫。庄子从来不是迂腐的伯夷叔齐,庄子知道生命的可贵。但庄子从来不向君主摇尾乞怜,像那些君主豢养的哈巴狗。庄子是有翅膀的人。庄子的灵魂在天上,在与天地精神相往还的浩渺宇宙间。庄子是能够吞吐宇宙的人,抟扶摇直上者九万里,庄子宁愿在污泥中曳尾,因为曳尾污泥,那是在与大自然肌肤相亲。

庄子就这样拔地而起。庄子在我们灵魂的仰望中翩翩起舞。庄子是雄浑的,庄子也是妩媚的。庄子一会儿是大鹏,力拔山兮气盖世;一会儿是蝴蝶,流连戏蝶时时舞。庄子让当时的社会吃惊,更让后人吃惊。这个长着翅膀的怪物,滑过阴暗的宫廷,滑过君主的刀丛,竟然毫发无损。凭什么?凭他的一对翅膀

人到中年,我感到生命的沉重。因为我没有庄子的翅膀。说到底我没有庄子那样彻底的思想。思想使人轻盈。金钱使人沉重。在我们生活的这个时代,每个人都被捆缚在欲望的战车上,每个人都在冲锋陷阵,都在拼命拼杀。这是另一个尸横遍野的战场,没有硝烟,但比起战国的刀光剑影、血肉横飞,丝毫也不逊色。我们没有翅膀,我们只有欲望。

沉重是自找的。

庄子是战国时最伟大的散文家。因为庄子的散文也有一双翅膀。能够飞翔的散文才是好散文,而能够在飞翔中不被大风刮散架的散文才是散文中的珍品。庄子的散文在历史的大风中飞翔了二千多年,不仅没有散架,没有像羽毛一样被刮得无影无踪,反而在风沙的打磨中日益铮亮,这得益于庄子翅膀的轻盈,还有坚实。

我飞不起来。因为我的沉重。这种沉重是污浊的,散发着生活的枯枝败叶的腐朽气息。我的生活中堆积着那么多腐朽的枯枝败叶,但我一点也不舍得丢弃,反而视若珍宝,所以我注定无法轻盈。

还是不要胡言乱语了。让我们的心,老老实实地在股票与基金的浮沉中,飞翔一生吧。

【题目】A Southampton University team found that people who were vegetarians by 30 had recorded five IQ points higher on average at the age of 10. Researchers said it could explain why people with a higher IQ were healthier as a vegetarian diet was linked to lower heart disease and obesity rates. The study of 8179 people was reported in the British Medical Journal.

Twenty years after the IQ tests were carried out in 1970366 of the participants said they were vegetarians although more than 100 reported eating either fish or chicken.

Men who were vegetarians had an IQ score of106compared with 101 for non-vegetarians while female vegetarians averaged 104, compared with 99for non-vegetarians. There was no difference in the IQ scores between strict vegetarians and those who said they were vegetarians but reported eating fish or chicken.

Researchers said the findings were partly related to better education and higher class, but it remained statistically significant after adjusting for these factors.

Vegetarians were more likely to be female, to be of higher social class and to have higher academic or vocational qualifications than non-vegetarians. How-ever, these differences were not reflected in their annual income, which was similar to that of non-vegetarians.

Lead researcher Catharine Gale said"The findings that children with greater intelligence are more likely to report being vegetarians as adults, together with the evidence on the potential benefits of a vegetarian diet on heart health, may help to explain why a higher IQ in childhood or adolescence is linked with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease in adult life.

But Dr. Frankie Phillips of the British Dietetic Association said It is like the chicken and the egg . Do people become vegetarians because they have a very high IQ or is it just that they are clever enough to be more aware of health issues?"

【题目】 If you’re ever apart from your children, just talking on the phone will help just as much as a hug.

If you’re a parent who spends long hours on the job, you probably feel guilty for spending so much time away from your kids. But the results of a new study show that a mother’s voice alone can be just as comforting to an anxious child as physical contact.

In an experiment, researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison asked a group of girls between the ages of 7 and 12 to solve math problems in front of judges a stressful situation for anyone. Before the girls were set to give their answers, the researchers measured their levels of two hormones (荷尔蒙): cortisol, which goes up during stressful periods, and oxytocin, the “love” hormone.

After they were finished, some of the girls got to meet up with their mothers right away. The moms came in and hugged the girls. Another group of the girls didn’t see their mothers, but received phone calls from them, in which their mothers told them how well they’d done. The final group had no contact with their mothers, but instead watched an animal movie, March of the Penguins.

Finally, the girls’ hormone levels were measured again. Although the movie was interesting, it did nothing to ease the children’s anxiety but, surprisingly, both the physical contact and phone calls from their mothers had the same influence on reducing the girls’ stress levels.

So, no matter how old you are, if you’re feeling stresed about something in your life, a phone call to Mom might be just the key to help you feel better.
