Life - 生活

Life is like shoes, we have to choose the ones that fit our feet, and ours only.

Much of what we carry around with us belongs to someone else.

We can't live backwards, but we can always think backwards.

生活，对某一个个体来说，好象是说不清楚的，所以我们才最后有了哲学，哲学把世人对宇宙对人生的问题归拢在一起。逐渐地，能够说清楚的问题从哲学中分支出去变成了科学，似懂非懂的也分出去了一些，诸如神学宗教等等，最原始的最基本的回答不了的问题仍旧留在哲学那里。等有一天哲学消失了，那就说明人们所有的疑问都解决了。不过，也许那一天的到来就是人从地球上消失的日子。
