從容地老去

人生步入老年,是可遇不可求的福氣。這個福,是自然自在的衰老過 程和形式。

當你慎重其事,以至孜孜以求地關注起長壽的時候,十之八九為時已 晚!

長壽,被嚮往;養生,被推崇;百歲,被期望。

於是,高人全出來説了! 專家說,學者說,醫生說,禪師說 …
講動的,講靜的,講吃素的,講拍手的,講泡腳的,講打拳的,講爬 山的,講戒酒的 … 聽來聽去,仿佛是越活越不會活了?

試問一下,這些說教者,他們自己長壽嗎?

長壽的條件,天好,地好,人也好。如此奢侈,能自主嗎?

長壽的要素,遺傳,習慣,性格,心態。如此複雜,能優選嗎?

你問問山村的老農吧?他們不懂養生,只求謀生;不懂健身,只愛勞 動;不懂休閒,只慣安眠。

你問問百歲老人吧?他們大概連半套養生也講不出來。講出來也未必 符合 "標準"!
他們反倒有愛喝酒的,抽煙的,吃肥肉的,從不體檢的,很少洗澡的 … 而且,多是歷經艱難,不輟勞辛,一生粗衣疏食的人。

哪個活法長壽?

老年的退化,應該視為正常,何必當做病變?
天天測血壓,量體重,形成負擔,為此食寢不安,反生大患。
抗衰老?衰老豈能抗,天下哪有長生不老的妙藥靈丹?

真善美,第一是真,有真才有善與美。
素面朝天是自信的美;薄施粉黛,是自尊的美。
敬畏生命!過度的治療,得到的是無尊嚴無意義的生命。

人生苦短。半百是短,百歲還是短。
人生來去,不過是幸運和遺憾的往復,不外是美好和煩惱的轉換。
過去的,感恩;未來的,祈禱。
其實,能屬於可以自主的東西很有限。

暴殄天物,大自然的報復多麼迅速驚心。安居樂業,似乎到了跟前, 忽地又走遠了!

老年之福,不由主觀的設計、策劃。
老來之福,在於隨遇而安,及時行樂。
一切的一切,恰到好處,缺了不可,過了便錯。
生命是品質與數量的統一。品質第一,數量並不是生命的唯一追求。

長壽的前題是能自理,是少麻煩他人。
孔子所言:長壽多辱。 “辱”就是失去了尊嚴。

優雅地老去,那是文化的境界;
體面地老去,那是物化的支撐。
二者的內涵太講究了。
還是心平氣和、從容地老去吧。
過你喜歡的生活,喜歡你過的生活。

很難給生命增加時間,
但可給時間增加生命。
