生活的半對半理論
The 50-percent Theory of Life
佚名 / Anonymous
I believe in the 50-percent theory. Half the time things are better than normal; the other half, they are worse. I believe life is a pendulum swing. It takes time and experience to understand what normal is, and that gives me the perspective to deal with the surprises of the future.
Let's benchmark the parameters: Yes, I will die. I've dealt with the deaths of both parents, a best friend, a beloved boss and cherished pets. Some of these deaths have been violent, before my eyes, or slow and agonizing. Bad stuff, and it belongs at the bottom of the scale.
Then there are those high points: romance and marriage to the right person; having a child and doing those Dad things like coaching my son's baseball team, paddling around the creek in the boat while he's swimming with the dogs, discovering his compassion so deep it manifests even in his kindness to snails, his imagination so vivid he builds a spaceship from a scattered pile of Legos.
But there is a vast meadow of life in the middle, where the bad and the good flip-flop acrobatically. This is what convinces me to believe in the 50-percent theory.
One spring I planted corn too early in a bottomland so flood-prone that neighbors laughed. I felt chagrined at the wasted effort. Summer turned brutal—the worst heat wave and drought in my lifetime. The air-conditioner died, the well went dry, the marriage ended, the job lost, the money gone. I was living lyrics from a country tune—music I loathed . Only a surging Kansas City Royals team, bound for their first World Series, buoyed my spirits.
Looking back on that horrible summer, I soon understood that all succeeding good things merely offset the bad. Worse than normal wouldn't last long. I am owed and savor the halcyon times. They reinvigorate me for the next nasty surprise and offer assurance that I can thrive. The 50-percent theory even helps me see hope beyond my Royals'recent slump, a field of struggling rookies sown so that some year soon we can reap an October harvest.
Oh, yeah, the corn crop? For that one blistering summer, the ground moisture was just right, planting early allowed pollination before heat withered the tops, and the lack of rain spared the standing corn from floods. That winter my crib overflowed with corn; fat, healthy three-to-a-stalk ears filled with kernels from heel to tip; while my neighbors'fields yielded only brown, empty husks.
Although plantings past may have fallen below the 50-percent expectation, and they probably will again in the future, I am still sustained by the crop that flourishes during the drought.
我信奉生活半對半的理論。一半美好，另一半則會糟糕。我覺得，生活就像鐘擺一樣會來回晃動，我們需要時間和閱歷才能懂得它的常態。也正是這樣，我懂得了如何處變不驚地面對未來的一切。
讓我們以這些參數為基點來思考：是的，我注定會死去。我已經歷了如此多的死亡：父母、好友、受人愛戴的老板，還有心愛的寵物。這些死亡當中，有些突如其來，直擊眼前；有些卻是緩慢地折磨著，令人苦不堪言。而且，這些糟糕的事隱藏在心底最深處。
當然，生活中也有這樣輝煌的時候：與心愛的人墜入愛河并喜結良緣；養育孩子，做些父親該做的事，如訓練兒子的棒球隊；當兒子帶著狗在小溪里游泳時，自己在一旁蕩槳泛舟，我發現他的同情心是如此強烈——對蝸牛也表現出友愛；他的想象力是如此活躍——即使是一堆零散的積木，他也能造出太空飛船來。
然而，人生中有一片遼闊的草地，各種好事壞事都在那里戲劇般地顛倒沉浮。這使我確信了生活半對半的理論。
有一年春天，我過早種下了玉米，那里地勢低洼，容易被洪水淹沒。因此，我受到鄰居們的嘲笑，也為自己白白浪費的努力而懊惱不已。那年夏天異常酷熱——我生命中最可怕的熱浪和干旱降臨，生活如同我所討厭的一首鄉村歌曲所描繪的情節。空調壞了，水井干涸了，婚姻結束了，工作丟了，錢也沒了。而唯一使我精神振奮的，是一支人氣攀升的堪薩斯皇家棒球隊，它將首次出征世界大賽。
回想那個可怕的夏天，我明白了，禍福相依，不順心的事情總會過去。我要擁有和享受寧靜的時光，它使我振作起來，要敢于面對突如其來的意外事件，并激勵我再度輝煌。最近，我的皇家棒球隊陷入低迷狀態，半對半理論讓我看到了希望：在一個領域里，只要你辛勤耕耘，幾年后，就可以收獲金秋十月。
哦，對了，玉米的收成？因為那個酷暑，地上的濕度恰到好處，種植較早使得授粉期避開了酷熱當頭，而稀少的雨水使挺立的玉米免受洪水之災。那年冬天，玉米堆滿了我的谷倉——每株玉米稈上結了三個碩大飽滿的玉米棒，每一個棒子都長滿了玉米粒——鄰居們的地里只有褐色干癟的玉米葉。
盡管以前種玉米總沒什么收成，將來可能還會如此，但我仍要繼續種下去，因為這些經歷了旱季依然能豐收的玉米大大鼓舞了我。
生活中不會都是甜蜜，也不會都是苦澀！只有甜苦參半，甜蜜才會更有意義。
