回到平安夜 Returning to Silent Night

作為双子座的我,無時無刻都在找尋一些新視物.有時覺得環境沒有自己轉得那麼快,感到很悶.去要去同一個地方,聽要聽同一些歌.
昨天去了姪子的聖誕表演.一開始由校監很不純熟地把耶穌誕生的故事(歷史?)講出來.跟著的節目有一班幼稚園學生一起唱平安夜.說的很奇怪,但已經有很多年沒有聽過這隻歌.一聽番便有一種聖誕的感祝.原來不用不顧一切的向前望,有時回望都會有意想不到的滿足感.不竟找尋新事物不是目的,只是為使自己滿足的手段.
Being a Gemini I’m always looking out for the next new thing. Sometimes I get bored feeling that the environment can’t catch up with me – always need to go to the same places, always need to listen to the same songs.
Yesterday I went to my little cousin’s Christmas show. At the beginning the president of the school recounted the story (or history?) of the birth of Christ very unprofessionally (it seemed as if she’s making up the story as she went along, even though the content’s all too familiar). Afterwards a group of kindergarten children sang Silent Night. It might sound strange but I haven’t heard this song for many years. As soon as they sang it I felt a kind of Christmas tranquility. It turns out that I don’t have to always look ahead to be satisfied. Sometimes looking back would give me a delightful surprise as well. After all, the search for the next new thing isn’t the purpose, but rather the means to get satisfaction, which is the real purpose.
