癌症細胞 - 李家同
老張是我們高中同班同學中唯一念醫學院的同學,
他是癌症醫生。
我們雖然是好朋友,
但我們常常開玩笑說最好不需要去找他。
同班同學聚會,老張一定會到,
他的收入高得不得了,所以有的時候他會請客,
偶爾同學中有人發生一些經濟上的困難,
他也會慷慨解囊。
雖然老張對人很慷慨,卻過著很簡樸的生活,
他每次都坐公共汽車來聚會,他也乘公車離開,
現在有了地鐵,他當然都乘地鐵。
他也從不大吃大喝。
我的感覺是,老張非常不喜歡過非常舒適的生活。
我們都是六十二歲左右的人,
到退休年齡,卻沒有人真正退休。
大概四個月以前聽人家說,老張退休了,
醫院還為他舉行了一個退休儀式,
而且聽說場面有些感傷。
我弄不清楚是怎麼一回事,正想打電話給他,
沒有想到在台北的一家書店碰到了他。
他正在買偵探小說,
看到了我,高興得不得了,一把抓住我,
找了一家環境優雅的咖啡館,
坐下來大談他所喜歡的偵探小說,
我也聽得津津有味。
可是,我注意到一件事,老張瘦了一些。
老張是個聰明人。
他當然知道我已注意到他的消瘦,
他主動地告訴我,
他得了癌症,已經只有幾個月的生命。
對我來講,這真是青天霹靂,
也沒有問現在有沒有治療 ?
因為我想他是這方面的專家,應該知道如何治療。
離開咖啡館的時候,下雨了。
我替老張攔下了一輛計程車,
這是我有生以來,第一次看到老張乘坐計程車。
一個月以後,老張來埔里找我。
他的兒子也是癌症醫生。
我們一起去了附近的農場看油桐花。
那裡的油桐花種在道路兩旁,大樹成蔭,
車子開過滿地的白花,真是奇景。
老張雖然時常面露倦容,
但他一再說不虛此行。
因為,他以後再也看不到
這種遍地都是白花的情境了。
除了看花以外,
老張也對我們的多媒體系統有很大的興趣。
我們的研究生,替他表演了好多有趣的系統。
老張仔細地看這些表演,也問很多有道理的問題。
這也是看到老張的最後一次。
不久,老張就去世了。
我當時心中納悶,為什麼他走得這麼快?
以他的專業素養,
他的癌症一定是初期,
他所得到的治療也一定是最好的。
為什麼他這麼快就走了?
我們都收到了訃聞。
訃聞中除了絕對婉謝花圈這些玩意兒外,
還有一個特別的請求,
請大家在指定的地點坐他們家租的遊覽車去。
訃聞中,好像拒絕任何人開汽車去參加葬禮。
期間來了一大票名醫,他們都面容嚴肅。
我們這些人看了這麼多的名醫,更加深一個疑問:
為什麼老張走得如此之快?
謎底終於揭曉了,老張的兒子致詞的時候,
告訴我們一個我們都不知道的故事:
老張從頭到尾沒有接受任何治療。
為什麼呢?
老張的兒子在禮堂中放映了一段錄影帶,
在這段錄影帶中,老張解釋了何謂癌症細胞?
我們常以為癌症細胞是不健康的細胞,
其實不然,
癌症細胞是最健康、最有活力的,
別的細胞雖然會分裂,但分裂會有止境。
癌症細胞的分裂永遠不會停止。
不斷的分裂需要養分,但是人的養分有限,
癌症細胞的不斷分裂
最後將其他正常細胞的養分吸取得一乾二淨。
因此老張認為我們這些人都是 [癌症細胞 ]。
因為太健康,所以我們吃得多。
因為有錢,所以我們消耗掉大量能源。
可是,地球上就這麼多資源,
我們用得多,其他人類就倒楣了。
老張在錄影帶中一再地強調:
百分之八十的資源,由百分之二十的人類消耗掉。
他也一再地提醒我們:
如果,全世界的人都像我們這樣地吃遠洋的魚,
全地球海裡的魚只夠我們吃一天。
他一再地問一個問題:
如果,全世界的人都像我們一樣地享受,
地球上的資源能撐多久?
舉例來說,四十年後,石油就用光了。
老張的錄影帶也介紹了
非洲二千五百萬人得到了愛滋病的慘相,
這一段的聲音被消除了。
但這一段靜寂的錄影帶,帶給我們極大的震撼。
老張的兒子沒有解釋
為什麼老張不願意接受治療?
那一段沒有任何聲音的錄影帶,解釋了一切。
老張早就對於他的生活好感到內疚。
所以,他一直儘量地過得很簡單。
最近非洲大批人得到愛滋病,
卻沒有人得到任何治療。
歐美雖然有治療愛滋病的藥,
但這些非洲窮人,如何有錢買這種藥呢 ?
老張熱愛生命,但是他不願他的生命影響了別人,
他不願意看到自己太健康,太健康就是癌症細胞了。
最後,老張提到他自己的病,
他說:他的病是不可能痊癒的,
花了很多錢以後,他可以多活三至四年,
在這三、四年內,他所能做的非常之少,
所以他不願意為了他的這三、四年的生命,
而花費人類大量的醫藥資源。
老張的兒子也在葬禮上告訴了大家:
老張臨死以前,捐了大筆的錢給一個慈善機構,
專門用作醫治非洲愛滋病人之用。
老張如果多活幾年,
也許可以醫治一些人,
但是他的拒絕治療, 卻是一個強有力的震撼教育。
前天,我們同學會,
每人一個盤餐,大家不發牢騷,
每個人都對自己的命運感到滿足。
我家現在平時只開電扇,有客人來才開冷氣。
我們也越吃越簡單,
每次餐後有香蕉吃就心滿意足矣。
我住的是公寓,
有時,難免想念當年在國外住的獨門獨園房子。
現在,我的想法也改了。
如果,全台灣的人都這樣住,
台灣恐怕會看不到一片青山,一片綠水,
全台灣只看到房子了。
老張說得有道理 ,
我們不能生活得太好,
我們不該是癌症細胞。
我們應該將青山綠水留給下一代,留給別人。
老張瀟灑地離去,使我們可瀟瀟灑灑地活著。
我們都輕鬆多了。
如果,你也認同這樣的理念
覺得應該把它傳出去,
請別吝嗇那一點點時間,
轉發讓更多人看到它吧!
一起期許自己別做地球的癌細胞
當然 還是要提醒您

Germany vs Spain
The final of EURO 2008 is just 24 hours to go.
For me,Germany chance of winning the match is depends on Ballack. So, stop Ballack equals stop Germany. Meanwhile, the absence of Villa is a huge blow for Spain but Fabegras came out as a star for Spain in the last two matches, will he do it again this time? Or maybe is another Spain player who come out as a hero, maybe is Alonso?who knw....
This is Spain's first appearance in EURO final since 1984 and won it once in 1964 while Germany were three times champions. However, history is one thing, going out and performing on the big stage is another. Thus, I do believe that Spain is going to crown the title!!

TWO MONKS
Two monks on a pilgrimage came to the ford of a river. There they saw a girl dressed in all her finery, obviously not knowing what to do since the river was high and she did not want to spoil her clothes. Without more ado, one of the monks took her on his back, carried her across and put her down on dry ground on the other side.
Then the monks continued on their way. But the other monk after an hour started complaining, "Surely it is not right to touch a woman; it is against the commandments to have close contact with women. How could you go against the rules of monks?"
The monk who had carried the girl walked along silently, but finally he remarked, " I set her down by the river an hour ago, why are you still carrying her?"
I wish to share this inspiring story which my friend emailed me, indeed, I heard this story from my sister few years ago.
放下,is an action that needs wisdom and courage.
Are you hate/dislike anyone?
DO you remember somethings bad that someone done to you?
DO you feeling sad when you cant get branded stuffs/your favourite team lose?......
these are just few examples showing you are still "carrying" them...
Anyway, life is a non-stop learning process. Dont worry if you are still 执著 on somethings, you are not alone, at least I'm accompanying you..haha...
执著 can drives you to great success, but can destroy you too. How to fully utilise "执著" is depends on your wisdom, which is a much higher level intangible skill...lol
Anyway, what is the 执著 in English ar??

Funny
Saw this from my friend's blog (http://eoso-photophobia.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html):
"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery.Today is a gift, and that is why it is called the present."

what u mean is...every day u receive a mystery gift that turns out be history...where's the mystery in it?!!

From Accounting point of view,
"Yesterday is past transactions,tomorrow is future sacrifices of economic benefits. Today is an obligation to creditors,and that's why it is called liability."
This is why the definition of liability is-
"Future sacrifices of economic benefits that the entity ispresently obliged to make to other entities as a result of past transactions or other past events"

Russia vs Spain
Spain will meet Russia for the second time in this EURO 08.
No one will underestimates Russia after they crashed Holland 3-1 in quarter final. I'm really impressed with their performance, especially the display of playmaker Andrei Arshavin. Meanwhile, Spain performs as stable as they should from the beginning of this tournament. So, which team will win???
Russia team showed their qualities with great teamwork, speed, stamina......more importantly, they have genious Hiddink and superb ARshivin in their squad!! However, their set piece is weak. Any freekicks or corners for Spain maybe costly.
Spain, on the other hand, is having the strongest squad in this tournament (I think). Even Alonso and Frabegras not being in the start 11!! They got the combination of Torres and Villa in front, which is the hottest "pair" at the moment. Anyway, their defence are weak in my mind. They have to stop the brilliant Arshavin, if not BYE BYE lo...
For me, Spain will still win this semi final tie in the end. GO GO SPAIN!!!

回教徒祈禱動作有助男性不舉問題
(吉隆坡)不舉的男性有希望了,原來多做回教徒祈禱(SOLAT)的動作有助於克服男性不舉的困擾!
一支來自馬大工程學院生物醫藥工程部的研究隊伍今日(週四,26日)披露,根據隊伍自2005年7月起針對回教徒祈禱方式對健康影響進行的研究,回教徒的祈禱動作不只對身心靈有益,也能醫治一些頑疾,包括男性不舉問題。
馬大生物醫藥工程部的醫藥咨詢及微機電系統中心主任法蒂瑪指出,根據隊伍的研究顯示,一名不舉的男性在進行了半年的祈禱後,就能完全恢復正常。
“一名正常的男性每晚都能勃起至少3次,而每次勃起的陰莖體積應該是200%。根據我們對那些因無法勃起而接受祈禱式治療的病人進行的研究,在持續做了特定祈禱動作1個月後,他們每晚都能勃起至少1次,次數因人而異。”
“這是因為當我們進行祈禱時,特定的祈禱動作有助於使相關部位的肌肉更為活躍,而刺激起欲望。當然,非回教徒也可以做這些祈禱動作,但他們並不需要唸經。”
法蒂瑪今日(週四,26日)在出席第4屆生物醫藥工程吉隆坡國際大會開幕禮後說,回教徒的祈禱方式除了能醫治男性不舉問題,對女性的腰痛也有效用。
