Eating the Cookie

  One of my patients, a successful businessman, tells me that before his cancer he would become depressed unless things went a certain way.  1   was “having the cookie.”If you had the cookie, things were good.If you didn't have the cookie, life was   2  

  Unfortunately, the cookie kept   3  .Some of the time it was money, and sometimes power.At   4   time, it was the new car, the biggest contract….A year and a half after his diagnosis of prostate(前列腺)cancer, he sits   5   his head regretfully.“It seems that I stopped learning how to   6   after I was a kid.When I give my son a cookie, he is happy.If I take the cookie away or it   7  , he is unhappy.But he is two and a half and I am forty three.It's taken me this long to understand that the   8   will never make me happy for long.

  The   9   you have the cookie it starts to fall to pieces or you start to   10   about it crumbling(弄碎)or about someone trying to take it away from you.You know, you have to   11   a lot of things to take care of the cookie, to keep it from crumbling and be   12   that no one takes it away from you.You may not even get a chance to eat it   13   you are so busy just trying not to lose it.  14   the cookie is not what life is about.”

  My patient laughs and says   15   has changed him.For the first time he is   16  .No matter if his   17   is doing well or not, no matter if he wins or loses at golf.“Two years ago, cancer   18   me, ‘What is really important?' Well, life is important.Life.Life any way you can, have it, life with the cookie, life without the cookie.Happiness does not have anything to   19   with the cookie:it has to do with being   20  .”
