覺得自己命不好 卻也夠好了

你也會覺得自己的命不好嗎？
我時常這樣覺得
覺得不夠高大 五官四肢不夠完美
覺得不夠幸運 沒有橫財也沒有顯赫家世
覺得不夠聰明 笨拙地學習 事倍功半
其他的抱怨就省略了 說也說不完
.
但我看過人行道上握著白手杖的女士
今早在健身房穿短褲的男孩露出一雙義肢
聽過朋友描述他的家庭 就像電影裡才有的悲慘
昨晚賣給我宵夜的大夜班阿姨揮汗如雨
還有各種疾病患者及其身邊的人刻苦堅持著
或許他們比我堅強得多
不認為自己命不好
但我連想都不敢想
如果我經歷他們的命運 該怎麼快樂地生活
甚至連怎麼活下去都不知道
.
反觀我
肌肉的拉傷強迫我休息幾天就鬱悶暴躁
一兩顆痘痘就搞得我焦慮緊張
事情不如己意就怨天尤人頻找藉口
想到比我辛苦的人努力著 微笑著
我心裡盡是不捨與慚愧
.
或許每個人有自己的命運基礎
或許在自己的基礎上爭取更好的生活令人積極
但偶爾看看自己擁有的
可能是某些人求而不得的
我的命也就足夠好了
好到有機會能拉需要的人一把

Do you think you deserve a better life too?
I often feel this way
I think I am not tall enough and my limbs and my face are not without imperfection
I think I’m not lucky enough to born with a silver spoon in my mouth or to have side money
I’m not clever enough leading me making twice the effort in learning
The list goes on but I’ll spare us the vicious cycle
.
Once, I came across a lady with a white stick today
This morning there was a young guy in shorts at the gym, exposing his artificial limbs
I listened to a friend talking about his tragic family situation, which is movie like.
I saw the old lady who sold me my late night snacks sweating profusely.
There are also numbers of people with different kinds of diseases trying to survive
Maybe they’re much tougher than me
Maybe they don’t think their lives are miserable
But I can’t even imagine how I could keep being alive under the same plight, let alone lead a happy life
.
Looking back
I am grumpy and blue just for having to rest for a few days due to muscle strain
I’m anxious for a few pimples
Looking for excuses whenever things don’t go my way
Thinking of the people who have much tougher lives then mine, but face it with smile,
There’re only guilts and empathy in my heart
.
Maybe we all have our own destiny
And it’s exciting when we try our best and build a better life on top of it
If we reflect on our lives from time to time, we may find our lives much better than somebody else’s.
My life is not the best but it’s not bad either
At least, I’m sometimes capable of giving a helping hand to the ones who need it.
