每一次分享英语最后 都会写下自己对这段英文的理解和感受

有时候写完了之后 看着那些对生人大彻大悟的文字 就这样 行云流水一般 跃然纸上 感觉自己真的快要修成神仙 但是下一刻又会突然陷入对未来的迷茫 感觉人生无解

一会儿是仙 一会儿是人 感觉就这样被生活摔来摔去 （怪不得越来越多人 都开始用健硕的小姐姐来形容我 这摔打也是强身健体） 摔习惯之后 也觉得 这个切换模式也挺好玩儿的鸭鸭 “半人半仙 ”也许比真的神仙有趣的多吧

看了卓别林这篇文字 估计也是某个午后 睡了个午觉起来的卓别林大师 突然成仙的顿悟 大彻大悟有时候其实是瞬间 并不很难 但是就看能这大彻大悟能坚持多久了

自由 自我 自在的状态并非一蹴而就 就算就了 也不一定能lasts very long

世上哪来那么多捷径

但是不管怎么着 有一个事儿是真理 人只能靠自己去成全自己 真正对自己负责任的人懂得如何让自己变得完整

所以说 人生 就是修仙的过程

成不成仙 ummm 看造化吧。
