The Meaning of Life

Edward Perman Cole died in May. It was a Sunday afternoon and there wasn't a cloud in the sky.

It's difficult to understand the sum of a person's life. Some people would tell you it's measured by the ones left behind, some believe that it can be measured in faith, some say by love, other folks say life has no meaning at all . . .

Me, I believe that you measure yourself by the people who measure themselves by you.

What I can tell you for sure is that by any measure, Edward Cole lived more in his last days on earth than most people manage to wring out of a lifetime. I know that when he died his eyes were closed and his heart was open . . .


本文节选自《一路玩到掛》。该片是一部美国文艺喜剧片,旨在让我们学会为生活寻找快乐。尽管影片由好莱坞两大老牌影星主演,但负面评价仍然较多,许多人认为它笑料生硬、情节劣质。
