貝貝也說我中毒了, 滿腦子小說……

“怎麼你現在幹的都是我以前小學五六年級所幹的事情, 你下一個階段不會要開始玩電子遊戲吧!?”

                 ******************

書不可能隨便一本都扣我心弦, 很久沒有那麼中毒了, hitherto 有些部份還是跟以前一樣, 像當年念初中,

Wuthering Heights 的某幾個 chapters 我一個晚上反覆看了七八遍, 感知覺都被無底地捲進去......

And, what really surprised me, was that

I was feeling with life,
the same way am now.

I was much hopeful and naive,
but the core,
and the way I was feeling things,
is exactly the same!

It made me realize I haven't changed much at all.



It's like we just...
we have this innate set points.

Nothing much that happens to us changes our disposition.

There is this study 
where they followed people who won the lottery, and people who had become paraplegic.

you know, one extreme is gonna make you...
euphoric, and the other suicidal.

But the study shows that
after about 6 months,

As soon as people got used to their new situation, 
they were more or less the same.

Like if they were basically an optimistic, jovial person,
they're now an optimistic, jovial person, in a wheel chair.

If they're a petty miserable asshole,
ok, they're a petty miserable asshole with a new Cadillac, a house and a boat.
