信口開合原來是活在當下的外顯行為
剛在電視上看了一小段知名作詞人林夕的自述，我突然明白：原來信口開合是因為活在當下之故；無怪乎快樂的人生是活在當下的。當一個人活在當下，便能輕易的推翻了昨日自己的信念，或允諾，因為當下的我有了新的信仰，價值與優先次序。
Such an idea is almost enlightenment to me. The education almost of people in our society received is about responsibilities. Traditionally, education is expected not just about being decent, learning knowledge but also do one's best to contribute to the society. With greater capability, comes higher expectation.
大學之道．在明明德．在親民．在止於至善．知止而後有定．定而後能靜．靜而後能安．安而後能慮．慮而後能得．物有本末．事有終始．知所先後．則近道矣．古之欲明明德於天下者．先治其國．欲治其國者．先齊其家．欲齊其家者．先修其身．欲修其身者．先正其心．欲正其心者．先誠其意．欲誠其意者．先致其知．致知在格物．物格而後知至．知至而後意誠．意誠而後心正．心正而後身修．身修而後家齊．家齊而後國治．國治而後天下平．
「格、致、誠、正、修、齊、治、平」,which indeed too much expectation or burden to bear to anyone. In the high school I studied, "格致" & "誠正" are the names of 2 main buildings of classrooms. We, as a high school students, were actually expected to do these 2. And hopefully, we will be able to achieve later part in the future of our lives. But isn't it great to have such a vision or high goal?
We also had been repeatedly told, 「士不可以不弘毅，任重而道遠，仁以為己任，不亦重乎？死而後已，不亦遠乎！」Of course, our forefathers knew such expectation was high, and such a path was not easy at all. But one who receives the education should have such goad in mind and do his/her best to carry them out. This is the unshirkable responsibility on everyone's shoulders till the end of his/her life. In addition, never feel discouraged, 「天行健，君子以自強不息。」one has to motivate himself constantly regardless what happened to him.
Don't let yourself go! Don't go astray! Manage the emotions well.天命之謂性，率性之謂道，修道之謂教。道者也，不可須臾離也；可離，非道也。是故，君子戒慎乎其所不睹，恐懼乎其所不聞。莫見乎隱，莫顯乎微，故君子慎其獨也。喜怒哀樂之未發，謂之中；發而皆中節，謂之和。中也者，天下之大本也；和也者，天下之達道也。致中和，天地位焉，萬物育焉。
「人之初，性本善；性相近，習相遠。」Growing up with this kind of education, it would be quite difficult for me to get rid of those conventional thoughts of life. And most likely, this is why I cannot be as happy as I wish for. What exits and grows in my mentality actually constrains happiness.
