Fifteen Minutes To Look At Yourself
The angel goes on: ‘Would you be capable of taking at least fifteen minutes of your day to stop and look at the world, and at yourself, and simply do nothing?’ Manuel says that he would love to do that, but he doesn’t have time. ‘You’re lying to me,’ says the angel. ‘Everyone has time to do that. It’s just that they don’t have the courage. Work is a blessing when it helps us to think about what we’re doing; but it becomes a curse when its sole use is to stop us thinking about the meaning of our life.’
—— Paulo Coelho 《Like the Flowing River: Manuel is an Important and Necessary Man》
我喜欢时不时独自一人关在房里，什么事都不做，也不开任何音乐，一个人躺在床上想想过去现在和未来，偶尔也会想‘如果’。
