之前每天睡前都会听一听有声书,然后就深深被Trevor的幽默所吸引,不知不觉就被代入到他的世界中。以下是一些让我很有感触的摘抄。
From an adult’s point of view, I was destructive and out of control, but as a child I didn’t think of it that way. I never wanted to destroy. I wanted to create. I wasn’t burning my eyebrows. I was creating fire. I wasn’t breaking overhead projectors. I was creating chaos, to see how people reacted.
这段话让我想起班里好几个类似的孩子,他们总会做一些违反规则的事情,其实是他们对这个世界的好奇心在作祟,有些老教师会跟我说,这个孩子真是让人讨厌,然而我对他们讨厌不起来,反而很喜欢他们。
That experience shaped what I’ve felt about relationships for the rest of my life: You do not own the thing that you love.
Trevor从自己养的一条小狗Fufi身上明白了这个道理。生活中太多人总是用“爱的名义”去绑架别人,其实我们每个人首先是一个独立的个体,无论父母与子女,还是恋人之间,我们并不拥有彼此,更多的可能是陪伴和同行吧。
