Film-Forrest Gump
"Forrest gump" is one of my favorite films. I have seen it for many times. His life style is simmple. Forrest doesn't think too much of what happened tommorow. He has a great mother, who will do everyting to make him like a normel person. And she did, even better.Jenny is the most beautiful girl in Forrest's mind. He love her. But Jenny can't control her life at all.
I copy some Memorable Quotes here:
Forrest Gump: Why don't you love me, Jenny? I'm not a smart man, but I know what love is.
Forrest Gump: Momma always said life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.
Jenny Curran: Run Forrest! Run!
Young Jenny Curran: Dear God, make me a bird. So I could fly far. Far far away from here.
Mrs. Gump: You have to do the best with what God gave you.
[Forrest has finished assembling his rifle]
Forrest Gump: DONE, DRILL SERGEANT!
Drill Sergeant: GUUUUUUMP! Why did you put that weapon together so quickly, Gump? Forrest Gump: Because you told me to, Drill Sergeant?
Drill Sergeant: Outstanding, Gump! This is a new company record! If it weren't such a waste of a fine enlisted man I'd recommend you for OCS! You are gonna be a general someday, Gump!
[Repeated line]
Forrest Gump: Stupid is as stupid does.

余杰：人生三境
人生如登楼，欲穷千里目，更上一层楼。人生有若干个阶段，哲人们有各自的划分办法。丹麦哲学家齐克果将人生分为三个阶段，即：审美阶段、道德阶段和宗教阶段。而德国哲学家尼采则认为，人生有三个时期，即：合群时期、沙漠时期和创造时期。合群时期，自我尚未苏醒，个体隐没在群体之中；沙漠时期，自我意识觉醒，开始在寂寞中思索；创造时期，通过个人独特的文化创造而趋于永恒之境。从两位西哲的邃思联想开去，在中国古代的禅宗、诗学、美学诸领域，也有好些关于人生三境的妙论。
宋代禅宗将修行分为三个境界。第一境界是“落叶满空山，何处寻芳迹”；第二境界是“空山无人，水流花开”；第三个境界是“万古长空，一朝风月”。三个境界中都有“空”字，三个境界就是对“空”的三种不同的理解。第一境界中的“寻”，表明人向上天追问自身起源，追问所谓“我是谁？我从哪里来？我到哪里去？”的三个千古难题。第二境界中的“无”，表明人已经从自然中剥离出来，与外在的“水流花开”自成一独立世界。而第三境界中的“万古”与“一朝”的融合同一，则说明人对有限时空的超越，经过否定之否定之后达到天人合一之境。
受禅宗思想的影响，南宋诗论家严羽在《沧浪诗话》中，提出学诗的三境：“其初不识好恶，连篇累牍，肆笔而成；既识羞愧，始生畏缩，成之极难；及至透彻，则七纵八横，信手拈来，头头是道也。”就诗人的主体而言，心灵最初是自由自在的，不辨美丑，处于童贞状态；当认识到规矩和成法之后，就陷入束缚和捆绑之中；最后摆脱一切外在的桎梏，获得了主体与客体的契合，也获得了真正的、纯粹的自由。这时，方能“行住坐卧，无非是道，纵横自在，无非是法”。
严羽之后，诗人潘德兴又云：“诗有三境，学诗亦有三境。先取清通，次宜警炼，终尚自然，诗之三境也。”潘氏是在说诗，其实何尝不是在说人生呢？返朴归真的人生，就是一朵“出淤泥而不染”的荷花。
最终将禅学、诗学与人生哲学融会贯通，铸为一体的，是晚清一代宗师王国维。王氏在《人间词话》中说：“古今之成大事业、大学问者，罔不经过三种之境界：‘昨夜西风凋碧树。独上高楼，望尽天涯路。’此第一境界也。‘衣带渐宽终不悔，为伊消得人憔悴。’此第二境界也。‘众里寻他千百度，蓦然回首，那人正在灯火阑珊处。’此第三境界也。”与齐克果、尼采的描述相比，王国维的论述是典型的中国式的，是诗意的凝聚，是精神的贯注。它包蕴了一种纯粹的生命体验，使人突破自身生活的惰性；它设定了生命气息充盈的坐标，引导人达到一种永恒的自由之境。
有这样的一种人生境界让我们仰望，我们何必惧怕脚下的淤泥呢？

God's Message to Women
*Author Unknown*
When I created the heavens and the earth,
I spoke them into being.
When I created man,
I formed him and breathed life into his nostrils.
But you, woman,
I fashioned after I breathed the breath of life into man
because your nostrils are too delicate.
I allowed a deep sleep to come over him
so I could patiently and perfectly fashion you.
Man was put to sleep
so that he could not interfere with the creativity.
From one bone I fashioned you.
I chose the bone that protects man's life.
I chose the rib,
which protects his heart and lungs and supports him,
as you are meant to do.
Around this one bone I shaped you.
I modeled you.
I created you perfectly and beautifully.
Your characteristics are as the rib,
strong yet delicate and fragile.
You provide protection for the most delicate organ in man,
his heart.
His heart is the center of his being;
his lungs hold the breath of life.
The rib cage will allow itself to be broken
before it will allow damage to the heart.
Support man as the rib cage supports the body.
You were not taken from his feet,
to be under him,
nor were you taken from his head,
to be above him.
You were taken from his side,
to stand beside him and be held close to his side.
You are my perfect angel.
You are my beautiful little girl.
You have grown to be a splendid woman of excellence,
and my eyes fill when I see the virtue in your heart.
Your eyes --
don't change them.
Your lips --
how lovely when they part in prayer.
Your nose so perfect in form,
your hands so gentle to touch.
I've caressed your face in your deepest sleep;
I've held your heart close to mine.
Of all that lives and breathes,
you are the most like me.
Adam walked with me in the cool of the day
and yet he was lonely.
He could not see me or touch me.
He could only feel me.
So everything I wanted Adam to share and experience with me,
I fashioned in you:
my holiness, my strength,
my purity, my love,
my protection and support.
You are special because
you are the extension of me.
Man represents my image,
woman, my emotions.
Together, you represent the totality of God.
So man --treat woman well.
Love her, respect her,
for she is fragile.
In hurting her, you hurt me.
What you do to her, you do to me.
In crushing her,
you only damage your own heart,
the heart of your Father,
and the heart of her Father.
Woman, support man.
In humility,
show him the power of emotion
I have given you.
In gentle quietness,
show your strength.
In love,
show him that
you are the rib that protects his inner self.
