Trainspotting.有人会说。Trainspotting,我同意。
对于三十岁的恐怖不是因为这些事情有多么荒诞,而是因为我理解到,这些事情是不可或缺的。我,如果要活下去,会自然而然的,按部就班的,走上这条道路。如果不去做这些事情,也可以活下去,但那不是一种安稳的,有规律的活法。那会让人害怕,不知道什么时候会掉到社会的缝隙里去。
Ivan Karamazov
As I sat here just now, do you know what I was saying to myself? That even if I had no faith in life, had lost my faith in the woman who was dear to me, lost my faith in the order of things, even gained the conviction that everything was, on the contrary, a disorderly, accursed and possibly, devilish chaos, even if I were overwhelmed by all the horrors of human disenchantment – I should still want to go on living and, having once put my lips to that cup, would not turn away from it until I had drained it to the end! Though actually, by the time I am thirty, I shall probably fling down the cup even though I haven’t drained it all and go away …where, I don’t know. But until I am thirty, I know this with assurance: my youth will prevail over everything - all disenchantment, all revulsion at life.
综合Ivan的看法,30岁以前是年轻的贪念在行驶,那么之后就是理性占上风了。
