Lonely Sail ...

當時心事每相關,雨散雲飛一餉間,
便是孤帆從此去,不堪重過望夫山。


當青春的光彩漸漸消逝,永不衰老的內在個性,卻在一個人的臉上和眼睛上,更加明顯地表露出來,好像是在同一地方久住了的結果。

那些曾經以為念念不忘的事情,就在念念不忘的過程裡,被我們遺忘了 ……

雁字回首早過,忘卻撫琴人淚滿衫;
蕭蕭揚花,落滿肩、落滿肩;
笛聲寒窗,影殘煙波槳聲裡,何處是江南 ……

一些哀傷,只有時光可以衝澈;
一些任性,總以分別作為結果。

請不要失望啊,
那過往只是過眼流砂,它注定翻飛至繁華。
請不要失望啊,
那過往似美眷如花,他輕輕走過了似水年華。
請不要失望啊,
那過往若是有一天泛了黃吶,只是永恆遇見了剎那。
我們,在蒼老前萬劫不復
在萬劫不復前,我們一起蒼老。

願你記得來過,記得我們一起度過的短短歲月。
願你記得痛過,記得分別時我的不捨和無奈。
願你記得聽過,記得一個從我到你,愛的軌跡畫下的故事。

Selfish Gene

The point I am making now is that, even if we look on the dark side and assume that individual man is fundamentally selfish, our conscious foresight - our capacity to simulate the future in imagination - could save us from the worst selfish excesses of the blind replicators.  We have at least the mental equipment to foster our long-term selfish interests rather than merely our short-term selfish interests.

We are built as gene machines and cultured as meme machines, but we have the power to turn against our creators.  We, alone on earth, can rebel against the tyranny of the selfish replicators.

Survival of the Fittest

Applying the Game Theory for the brutal competition of survival, perhaps the below is a nice reflect of the concept:

Two guys were hiking through the jungle when they spotted a tiger who looked both hungry and fast.   One of the guys reached into his pack and pulled out a pair of sport shoes. His friend looked at him.

"Do you really think those shoes are going to make you run faster than that tiger?"

"I don't have to run faster than that tiger," his friend replied. "I just have to run faster than you."
