Fallen
Do you think babies are born pure?
Without sin?
If we were all born imperfect,
and have fallen from grace,
what else is it we fear?
I mean, we've already fallen.
Falling is a process, and as experience tells me ...
it is usually so quick,
you don't even know what hit you till 2 seconds after you hit the ground,
before the brain finally registers the pain.
That is followed by a long duration of bewilderment/acceptance/annoyance,
followed by trying situation of understanding why you fell in the first place,
followed by bragging of how you survived the fall...
getting friends to sign on the cast,
or simply showing the scar off like a trophy you won for the beauty contest in school.
(bad example i know.)
So fallen.
Both feet off the ground,
both feet on the ground.
I'll fall, again and again.
That's in our nature,
but its not in our nature to get up again and again,
sometimes its easier to stay down,
when you're that low,
you can't get any lower,
so there's no fear.
But when you're up and about,
the fear is that you'll fall again,
and that fear makes you walk every step in doubt,
wake up every morning with worry,
live every second wondering about the next second.
So deefeekurt.
Maybe swimming would be easier?

人总是这样。
处在低处时,总想着要往上爬。处在高处时,又害怕失足跌下来。所以大多数的人总是处在中间的位置,维持在“不上不下”的情况,一辈子平平淡淡的过。
人要懂得珍惜。有些事物不一定要保持长久。因为难得的曾经拥有,才会显得“它”更加珍贵。至少“它”也曾在你的回忆里留下色彩。
所以,尽量让自己保持平常心。就像流水一样,该往上时,就逆流而上;该往下时就顺水而流。只要得失心能回归平淡,那不管发生什么事都没什么好怕的了。
One of my favourite verses,
and one that I read today~~
for you, in thanks for this post,
Love it!
"If the LORD delights in a man's way,
he makes his steps firm;
though he stumble, he will not fall,
for the LORD upholds him with his hand." - Psalm 37:23-24
