在这么遥远的地方,还有几个老同学,也是非常难得。虽然离的很近,一年会大聚一次。今天是时隔一年半再次相聚。以前我们还是二十多岁,一起出去玩,现在转眼快四十岁了。我们都来自工程学院,却做着不同的工作。偶尔会有大学同学来大连出差,大家也会聚一聚,聊一聊,好像学校一样,无拘无束,胡说八道,没有边界。

被方便驯化之后,我们的身体也会寻找更节省体力,更方便的行为。爬山很累,坐缆车很方便;去菜场买菜很累,在 App 上点菜很方便;骑自行车很累,开车很方便。
追求方便,很多时候是跳过了过程,直接享用结果。而容易得到的结果通常很难被重视,被跳过的过程也弱化了与目标的连接感。我开始理解为什么父辈喜欢种菜,虽然最后的结果都是吃到了土豆,但自己种的土豆与自己是有连接的。施肥,除草,看着它们长出叶子,一天天长大,几个月后变成绿油油的一片,把它们从地里拔出来,揉去泥土,装袋保存。好像吃土豆这个结果已经不是最重要的了。
不便并非永远都是要去克服的,有时不便本身就是答案。当然了,我说的是有时候。
