不想坐飞机的人们
人们不愿意坐飞机多半是因为怕死。怕死的原因有很多，通常是因为个人对活色生香、美好生活的留恋，所以不想死。当然，也有朋友是因为觉得此时此刻的人生责任重大，不能死，也不愿死的那种。 昨天和一位历经波澜，刚步入稳定的感情生活的朋友一起吃饭。席间，朋友对刚确定关系的女友无比珍惜，连名字都只肯透露姓氏，搞得我先生是无比得好奇。朋友回家探望父母，宁可选择乘坐2天2夜的火车也不愿意坐3个小时的飞机。究其因，则是他现在不愿死，也死不起，因为他的生命现在已经不是仅仅属于自己。
朋友道出原因，搞得我一阵感动。在柴米油盐的生活中久了，总觉得爱情是写在书里，骗骗小孩子的东西。校园生活一结束，独立谋生的压力通常让爱情在生活中的分量与日俱减。选择房子和票子而放弃爱情、游戏人间的例子也比比皆是。毕竟，前者是可以在人前炫耀的，而后者的滋味只有当事人才最知道。望着年纪与我相仿，陷在爱情里一脸满足的朋友，我只能相信，爱情是种心态，和年龄无关。越是生活经历坎坷，还是可以执著于爱情的人，越是让旁人感到那份感情的单纯和执著。 在爱人眼里，没有什么是傻的，有的只是感动。而这份傻爱也许就能让本不相干的两个人在今后互相扶持着走过无数个平淡、艰难或辉煌的日子。祝朋友好运！也希望大家都曾有过一段傻傻的日子。

I was touched too when our friend talked about the reason why he wouldn’t want to lose his life particularly for the time being. I could see how much he appreciated what he had come to possess in life. Love is probably the most important factor here, there is also his career and maybe other things.
As much as we value our own lives, there are situations where giving up one’s life was in fact much more convenient than hanging on to it. In such situations, it all boils down to how much desire for life one has. Those who survived were the ones with certain something they just would’t want to give up yet …
