长大不是一个人的事情Ⅲ⑷

Loneliness Along Growth/ 成长的孤独 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. 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. 我们就像奶油。当奶油浮到顶部的时候，它会和牛奶分离。也许这种现象正是新世纪运动的本质。我们发现自 己飞得越高，就会越感孤独。是的，事实就是如此。 经常，我们很难找到那些选择和我们同路的人们。那条草率、慵懒的道路挤满了可以相遇并聊天的人，那条满 是牢骚者的道路上也拥挤不堪；那条所谓安全、普通和枯燥的道路是如此拥挤以至于你无法向前挪步。难道这 不正是你离开那条道路的原因吗？你需要向前挪步，需要活动的空间，需要伸展你的双臂，需要被认为是特别 的、有个性、与众不同。或许有万千大众仰慕你，但他们却不可能真正地融入你。大部分的时间里，你将是孤 独的。 不要害怕因造诣深而产生的孤独感。不必要勉强别人附和你。只需真心付出，坚定着你自己的成长，别人是否 愿意成长就由他们自己去决定吧。这就是游戏的规则。我们都有选择自己道路的自由。
