成长的孤独
TheLoneliness of Personal Growth
We’re like the cream. When the cream rises to the top, it
separates itself from the milk. Perhaps that is what the New Age
Movement is really all about. We find ourselves lonely at the top.
Yes, it is.
It is no different with political enlightenment, spiritual
enlightenment, or even becoming enlightened about relating to each
other. The more mentally healthy you become, the more spiritual,
the more balanced, he wealthier, the more global you become...the
more alone you may feel.
Often, we find ourselves unable to find those other rare
individuals who are choosing the same path as ours. The path of
sloppy and lazy is full of other people to meet and talk to. The
path of whiners is full. The path of being safe, generic, and
boring is so crowded you almost cannot even move forward. Isn’t
that why you left that path? You had a need to move forward, a need
for some elbowroom, a need to spread your arms wide, a need to be
seen as special, unique, different. The masses may admire you, but
they are not going to be able to really relate to you. You will be
alone much of the time.
Do not be afraid of the loneliness of enlightenment. Do not force
others to agree with you. Simply give your heart and know that you
are growing and that they are free to grow or not. It is the nature
of the game. We are all free to choose our paths.
生活的一课
A Lesson of Life
“Everything happens for the best,” my mother said whenever I
faced disappointment . “If you can carry on, one day something
goodwill happen. And you’ll realize that it wouldn’t have happened
if not for that previous disappointment. ”
Mother was right, as I discovered after graduating from college
in 1932. I had decided to try for a job in radio, then work my way
up to sports announcer. I hitchhiked to Chicago and knocked on the
door of every station—and got turned down every time.
In one studio, a kind lady told me that big stations couldn’ t
risk hiring inexperienced person. “Go out in the sticks and find a
small station that’ll give you a chance .”she said.
I thumbed home to Dixon, Illinois. While there was no
radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, my father said Montgomery Ward had
opened a store and wanted a local athlete to manage its sports
department. Since Dixon was where I had played high school
football, I applied. The job sounded just right for me. But I
wasn’t hired.
My disappointment must have shown. “Everything happens for the
best.” Mom reminded me. Dad offered me the car to job hunt. I tried
WOC Radio in Davenport, Iowa. The program director, a wonderful
Scotsman named Peter MacArthur, told me they had already hired an
announcer.
As I left his office, my frustration boiled over. I asked a1oud,
“How can a fellow get to be a sports announcer if he can’t get a
job in a radio station?”
I was waiting for the elevator when I heard MacArthur calling,
“What was that you said about sports? Do you know anything about
football? ” Then he stood me before a microphone and asked me to
broadcast an imaginary game.
On my way home, as I have many times since, I thought of my
mother’s words: “If you carry on, one day something good will
happen. Something wouldn’t have happened if not for that previous
disappointment.”I often wonder what direction my life might have
taken if I爷d gotten the job at Montgomery Ward.
