闊別近十年的再遇

很久以前已經想把SEED由頭至尾寫一遍評論，現在適逄SEED Remaster Project啟動，就試一試吧。(完全無責任言論)

Forwarded article: Who Am I? – by Dietrich Bonhoeffer

WHO  AM  I

Who am I? They often tell me

I stepped from my cell’s confinement

calmly, cheerfully, firmly,

like a squire from his country-house.

Who am I? They often tell me

I used to speak to my warders

freely and friendly and clearly,

as though it were mine to command.

Who am I? They also tell me

I bore the days of misfortune

equally, smilingly, proudly,

like one accustomed to win.

Am I then really all that which other men tell of?

Or am I only what I myself know of myself?

Restless and longing and sick, like a bird in a cage,

struggling for breath, as though hands were compressing my throat,

yearning for colors, for flowers, for the voices of birds,

thirsting for words of kindness, for neighborliness,

tossing in expectation of great events,

powerlessly trembling for friends at an infinite distance,

weary and empty at praying, at thinking, at making,

faint, and ready to say farewell to it all.

Who am I? This or the other?

Am I one person today and tomorrow another?

Am I both at once? A hypocrite before others,

and before myself a contemptibly woebegone weakling?

Or is something within me still like a beaten army,

fleeing in disorder from victory already achieved?

Who am I? They mock me, these lonely questions of mine.

Whoever I am, Thou knowest, 0 God, I am Thine!

歲月神偷

在幻變的生命裡
歲月    原是最大的小偷…

因在外地獲獎而聲名大噪的本地作品，未看時以為是回億香港七、八十年代之作，無疑其故事背景是發生在那段時間，但主題重心卻一直都在「歲月神偷」這幾個字裏。

以下內容涉及劇透，請注意

離開

離開總有理由。不論是合情合理的，是奇怪的，是荒誕的。我要說的不是自然的終結，例如畢業，又或是死亡，都不是我們能夠作主的事情，暫且不說。當人們選擇離開，懷著的是怎麼樣的心境？

離開好像是一種追求。離開背叛的情人，離開不如意的工作。看起來是對未來充滿了期盼。離開了就能尋找到更合意的情人，更適意的工作。對現在不滿，盼望光明。

離開好像是一種退縮。艱苦的任務，難以解決的事情。就像行軍打仗，未戰先敗。舉手投降，拿出白旗，好讓自己站在不敗之地。大敵在前，保命要緊。

離開好像是一種挑戰。面前黑暗一片，伸手不見五指，使人毛骨聳然。膽小的神經，迅速地在身上漫延，至到身體每一部分。每踏一步，如履薄冰。

不論是抱何種理由，三省吾身，讓自己知道為何離開，比離開的理由更為寶貴。
