    Words, are just words

     
    十一国庆在感冒和家教还有无尽的焦虑中稀里糊涂的就过去了,总算还买了本书看看,之前就看过了梁文道的《常识》,针砭时弊,但总觉无力,很多事情都是肚里照镜,不过人家毕竟是说了出来,让大家照照镜子。这次看到新书《我执》,还是很简洁的封面,小小的虫虫书店转了一圈,貌似也就这本书有买的欲望了。哦。忘了,我还顺便买了一张苏州手绘地图,挺新鲜的,准备送给PL作为回礼。言归正传,还是要来说说这本《我执》,还是有蛮多引起共鸣的东西,毕竟人家是作家,着实用文字点出了我们平时感受到却不一定能表达出的点滴。

    正好是一篇题为“相信——十月十二日”的文章:
    “写信给苦思的对象,切莫枉费心机,以为一字一句都在赤裸透明的传送自己的情意。不,文字本身就会背叛你;才落在纸上,它的表意功能就立刻丧失了。等到他开启信封的时候,你的言语(那真是你的吗?)早已冰凉。你不能以为他一定明白,就因为你自以为他是特别的,你只能把他当做一个普通读者,顶多是一个辨析死尸的法医。”
    看似冷酷了一点,但是句句是实话。文字如果是随意写写,不负责任的写写,是可以的。如果你要它正儿八经的传达点意思的话,它就开始耍花腔,一副死不死活不活的样子。你想说的是一个意思,他就是读不出这个意思或者读成其他意思。Words are the most powerless, shameless, manipulating thing in this world.

    “题解——八月一日”
    “我都知道了;这一切谎言与妄想,卑鄙与怯懦。它们就像颜料和素材,正好可以涂抹出一整座城市,以及其中无数的场景和遭遇。你所见到的,只不过是自己的想象;你以为是自己的,只不过是种偶然。握得越紧越是徒然。此之谓我执。”

    我喜欢一本书,能够衍生出更多的阅读,而不是止于这本书。

    Oh captain, my captain.
