上癮

教授放不下研究,年青人目不轉睛的盯著螢幕,有些人手不釋卷,有些人愛錢如命,為愛捨棄一切,都有一共通點。

六祖慧能大師說:菩提本無樹,明鏡亦非臺;本來無一物,何處惹塵埃?

倪匡被問有甚麼最放不下,他說沒有甚麼放不下的,因為他從來都沒有甚麼,沒有得到過甚麼,何來放下,怎麼帶走?

未能出家的我,想上一上癮。

Meaning

Haven't been able to process vast amounts of information recently, nor able to produce for that matter. So things will be crisp, precise and most importantly, short.

Was getting of the no.28 mini bus and I said to the driver, 'thank you' on the way out. But I said it out of a ritual of politeness of a person being served by another person, rather than sincerely thankful for the beauty of his work.

So on the way to the elevator, I told myself, from now on, I will try my best to say what I mean and mean what I say. And I ended up chatting with my neighbour's dad who came back from London to see his son who has recently bought the flat opposite us. He was also carrying a pack of a dozen roll of tissue paper on his shoulder, a very cute dad indeed.
