    從生物學的角度來看,我想,人類的生命解讀起來似乎是一首詩,有自己的韻律和節拍,有成長與消亡的內在週期。人類從無知的孩童開始拉開自己生命的帷幕;澀澀的青春期緊隨其後,它笨拙地使澀澀的生命去適應成人的社會,帶著年輕的熱情和荒謬,帶著理想和抱負;之後,它邁入活力充沛的成年時期,從經歷中吸取教訓,更瞭解社會與人類的本性;人到中年,壓力稍有減輕,性格也像成熟的水果或佳釀一般得以成熟、圓滑,這個時期,人漸漸變得更加寬容、世故、有城府,同時對生活的態度也更加和善;接著,人到暮年,內分泌減緩,如果你對年老有一種正確、冷靜的態度,並在這段時間裡為生命的格局作好安排,那這段時期對我們來說,就是平和、安全、安逸和滿足的;最後,生命的燈火熄滅,人永遠地進入了夢鄉,再也不能醒來。人應該能夠感知這種生命的韻律美。欣賞它,就像欣賞盛大的交響曲,欣賞其主旋律、高潮與尾聲。

    循環過程中的這些運轉,在普通人的生命中都是如此,但每個人生命的樂曲是由自己去譜寫的。在一些人的靈魂中,不悅耳的音符越來越刺耳,直到最終淹沒了主旋律。有時,不和諧的音符會變得很強大,以至於音樂無法再進行下去,有人就將自己擊斃或溺死。那是因為缺乏良好的自我教育,使他最初的主題絕望地失色。否則,普通人的人生會在一種莊嚴的樂章和進程中正常地完結。

    沒有人會說,由童年、成年和老年構築的人生不完美。正如一天當中有早晨、中午和晚上,一年當中有美妙的春、夏、秋、冬四季更迭,生命也同樣精彩。人生無優劣之分,適合自己就好。如果我們接受這種生物學上的人生觀,盡力去和著節拍生活,除了自以為是的愚人和令人無法忍受的理想主義者,沒有人會否認人類可以生活得像詩一樣。

    一年當中有美妙的春、夏、秋、冬四季更迭,生命也同樣精彩。人生無優劣之分,適合自己就好。
