最近，好朋友和他的女友分手。他本是豁達之人，沒想到會因此而傷心得要隱居數天。 可以想像，他整夜坐在空蕩的房間裏，燈光昏暗，屋裏的那個人走了，只聽到自己心跳聲。他想用回憶填補空洞，但每一段思緒都像破碎的鏡，映照出心痛。直到有一天，他突然發現，這些回憶像水中倒影，飄忽不定，終究會隨水流逝。 佛教說，一切皆無常。花開花落，潮起潮落。人也在變，情感也在變。曾經深愛的人，或許只是生命中的一段過客，像是沙灘上被海浪沖刷的腳印，留得住的只是水痕，留不住腳印。 沒有誰能永遠停留在我們的世界裏。記得曾有一位老人告訴我：年輕時的愛情曾讓他心碎，但他卻像江水一樣，從不固執，隨水流動。他的孫子問他：為甚麼當時不執着？老人笑着說：「看着水流，知道它會走，心也就輕了。」他明白，愛情如同江水，不停流動，亦會不斷更新。 在一個寒冷早晨，一個女孩站在火車站望着來來往往的人群。她曾以為這段感情能永遠不變，但終究還是分開了。她的眼眶泛紅，但心卻漸漸明亮。她想像自己是那列火車，載着過去的回憶，緩緩駛向未知的遠方。失去的不是全部，還有未來的可能。 我們都曾在夜深人靜時，覺得自己的心像被撕裂。那種感覺像刀割，像海浪拍打岩石，久久不散。可是，若能理解無常，便會知道這一切都在變。就算現在痛得撕心裂肺，也會隨着時間淡去。愛情不過是生命中的一段旅程，或許短暫，卻豐富了我們的經歷。就像花開花落，留下的不是失落，而是大自然的循環。 當我們學會放下，痛苦便不再沉重。失戀並非終點。它只是一段旅程的轉折點。江水不斷流淌，生命繼續前行。願我的朋友，在風雨中找到平靜。而這份平靜，正是來自對無常的體悟。 Source link

最近在翻看七季電視劇集《The Mentalist》（心計），大女兒對偵探故事有興趣，間中會跟我一起看；據說她也有同學在追看這套劇集。 主角Patrick Jane是一位「心理操控者」，運用觀察力、心理學和誘導技術，能夠看穿人心，並操控別人的想法與行為。他協助美國加州警方調查殺人案件，屢立奇功。雖然是十八年前的作品，那些鑑證科學都已經過時，但劇情依然令人着迷。 主角天賦異稟，每次他只要稍為觀察一下死者、嫌疑犯和有關證人，短時間內就能猜到犯案過程及誰是兇手；然後耍些計謀，令兇手露出破綻，自投羅網。與其說是偵探推理劇，倒不如說觀眾更享受看主角如何利用直覺和讀心術破案。 我曾聽過不少朋友說打算修讀心理學，因他們很想從別人的言語和行為中猜到別人心理，通常會覺得自己很有「讀心術」的天份。可是我覺得，想成為真正的Mentalist，見識和經驗比學位更為關鍵。 為甚麼男主角能輕易地猜到別人心理、並操控別人呢？隨着劇情發展，逐漸披露了他的背景。原來他並非心理學的學霸，甚至可能沒有正式上過學，而是個出生在流動遊藝團（Carnival）的孩子，從小跟隨大隊走遍全國巡迴表演，見過各式各樣的人品，並與父親一起進行詐騙賺錢。正是這樣的成長環境，令主角擅長觀人於微，揣摩心理。 當然，他也喜歡閱讀，有極高的學習能力。更重要是他膽子大，經常以身試法，在險中求勝。他曾多次把自己處身於危險之中，跟黑社會周旋，被犯人挾持、謀殺；甚至故意犯罪、走進監獄，然後逃獄，非常戲劇化。因為只有親身體驗，才能將書本上的知識轉變為真正的能力；否則，就只是「紙上談兵」而已。 當然，男主角神乎其技的讀心術，亦有賴於他英俊無比的臉孔。演員Simon Baker那一頭金髮、三件頭西裝及陽光般的笑容，不論男女老幼的心都立刻被融化，馬上把真相和盤托出——要做成功的「心理操控者」，外形也是不可或缺的吧！ Source link
