在我記憶中,她是個完美到讓人無可挑剔的存在,聰明、漂亮、溫柔、體貼的富家千金,好像所有能拿來稱讚人的詞彙用在這個人身上都也不為過,當時的我總覺得她的人生在未來必定一帆風順。高中畢業後,中間也斷了幾年聯絡,後來是在不良牛牧場的板上才又再重遇。

「人,生而孤寂?」

那是她在大三時突然脫口而出的話,她吃了好幾年的百憂解!後來她又消失了。頂尖的學歷、出眾的氣質、美好的人格,現實卻是如此血淋淋。

上天沒有真的賜給誰完美,如果讓她再選擇一次,也許她會放棄那些美好特質,選擇活的快樂簡單一點。然而人生沒有交換這種事,沒人能料想那些沒發生的事情。

多年之後,隨著長大,那樣的衝擊慢慢減少了,人會漸習慣生命裡不斷發生的各種無常。那麼健康的人怎麼突然就癌症走了?那麼認真工作的友人怎麼在準備快速升遷時發生氣爆?當回過頭思考,人爬的那麼努力認真,其實也不過就是一場戲,像薛西佛斯,只能不停的推著那塊大石。一件事情往往有許多不同的樣貌,沒人知道該怎麼看才算正確,也或許根本沒有所謂的正確。談永劫回歸,存在的本身就是一種永劫回歸,一但開始思考,誰能逃過存在主義的孤獨?

永遠都還記得當年看完猜火車(Trainspotting)時所帶來的那份震撼,對那麼年輕的自己來說,他直接挑戰了你的主體價值。做的事情一樣,眼光已經不同了,人對自己的價值觀怎麼從信仰到質疑,再怎麼從質疑回到原本的信仰,那段經典的片頭是這麼說的:

「Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suit on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourselves. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?」

到片尾時又再呼應了上面這段話,因為內容算是18禁,所以我也不翻了,Google一找就可以查到翻譯。那是部非常經典的電影,推薦給還沒看過的人觀賞。


最後送上一首歌:
