the lesson of the moth
i was talking to a moth
the other evening
he was trying to break into
an electric light bulb
and fry himself on the wires
why do you fellows
pull this stunt i asked him
because it is the conventional
thing for moths or why
if that had been an uncovered
candle instead of an electric
light bulb you would
now be a small unsightly cinder
have you no sense
plenty of it he answered
but at times we get tired
of using it
we get bored with the routine
and crave beauty
and excitement
fire is beautiful
and we know that if we get
too close it will kill us
but what does that matter
it is better to be happy
for a moment
and be burned up with beauty
than to live a long time
and be bored all the while
so we wad all our life up
into one little roll
and then we shoot the roll
that is what life is for
it is better to be a part of beauty
for one instant and then cease to
exist than to exist forever
and never be a part of beauty
our attitude toward life
is come easy go easy
we are like human beings
used to be before they became
too civilized to enjoy themselves
and before i could argue him
out of his philosophy
he went and immolated himself
on a patent cigar lighter
i do not agree with him
myself i would rather have
half the happiness and twice
the longevity
but at the same time i wish
there was something i wanted
as badly as he wanted to fry himself
我正和一只飞蛾说话，
在不久前的一个晚上，
他想要闯入
电灯泡里，
拥抱电线将自己燃烧。
我问他，为什么你们
做这种危险的特技？
因为这是飞蛾的本性，
没有别的什么原因。
如果那是没有遮挡的烛火
而不是电灯泡，
你现在早已成为一小撮灰烬，
难道你丧失

以前只知道费曼是个天才，抱着一窥天才的人生的想法读费曼的自传。读完才知道费曼是个真正的人，一个对于该如何生活有些充足清醒认知的人。 在周遭，功名利禄很可以轻易的就把人迷惑了。可费曼告诉我们，要避免太高的薪水，因为这能诱使你堕落。而名声更是个混蛋，它只会让你没法活的自在。 别忘了自己真正想做的事情。
了解到女性对生活的观察视角，对生活的体验感，确实差异很大，认识到生活中忽视的另一面，相比男性，她们的抗争更无声，更无力，往往是很细碎的小地方，旁人无视的地方，都成了生活的猛兽，每一根稻草都能压弯你。
