        两个长旅行下来,重温了Michael Crichton的《Travels》 MC(1942-2008)毕业于哈佛医学院,剑桥教过书,然后弃医从文写出了侏罗纪公园等众多作品~不考虑电影电视剧,光书籍销量就超过两亿册 这本书记录了他在医学院的经历,弃医从文的心路,以及游走世界的种种瞬间-博内尔岛的沉船,大汉山的闪迈部落,肯尼亚的大象,维龙加的银背大猩猩,罕萨的山体滑坡~攀登乞力马扎罗,探寻玛雅遗迹,徒步巴尔蒂斯坦,死生牙买加~ 也有人生里程式的经历-父亲离世,第一次在海外当导演,禅修灵修~ 最后过渡到奇幻的心神之旅 行文简洁风趣,三分戏谑,三分玩世不恭~ 没有庞大恢宏的视角,没有浪漫化任何一个经历,闲聊般开诚布公地细述每一个经历引发的思考 这本书出版于1988年~ 站在2022,我对书中三段话有着深深的共鸣: (中文概括性地翻了一下) “I hadn’t traveled with the intention of learning about anything except myself. And the real point of all this travel was not what I had come to believe or disbelieve about the wider world, but what I had learned about myself. 我旅行的唯一目的便是自我认知~这些旅行的意义并不在于我对大千世界有了这样或那样的虔诚或怀疑,而是我瞥见了怎样的自己” “My own sense is that the acquisition of self-knowledge has been made more difficult by the modern world. More and more human beings live in vast urban environments, surrounded by other human beings and the creations of human beings. The natural world, the traditional source of self-awareness, is increasingly absent. 现代社会让认知自己变得愈发困难~ 越来越多的人住在硕大造的东西所围困~而大自然,作为自我觉知的传统来源,渐行渐远” “Furthermore, within the last century we have come to live increasingly in a compelling world defined by electronic media. These media have evolved a pace that is utterly alien to our true natures. It is bewildering to live in a world of ten-second spots, each one urging us to buy something, to do something, or to think something. Human beings in the past were not so assaulted. And I think that this constant assault has made us pliable in a certain unhealthy way. Cut off from direct experience, cut off from our own feelings and sometimes our own sensations, we are only too ready to adopt a viewpoint or perspective that is handed to us, and is not our own. 在这个飞驰的世纪里,我们生活在一个被电子媒体定义的花花世界~ 对于我们的本性来说,这些媒体的进化速度犹如外星生物~ 生活在一个遍布小红点的世界里是令人迷茫的,每个小红点都在催促着我们买点什么,做点什么,想点什么~ 古人从不曾被如此的纷繁袭击过,我们在这种无休止的攻击下愈发无常易变. 我们被隔绝在直接经历之外,隔绝在自己的感受和感觉之外~ 我们只是迫不及待的去接受派发的观点或者见解,尽管它们并非源于自己“ #路过最好的你 #哆啦D梦的书铺 #日常照妖镜



评论:
飞鸟的痕迹: 小红点那段真的很有感触。我们试图和整个世界共振,却常常遗忘了自己。
玫歌: 因为这三个段落太有共鸣,我决定入手一本,谢谢分享~[赞]
墨菲斯托: 这幅画根据脑内储备定义了原画,但是多少人知道?就很好奇
