DON'T WORRY. BE HAPPY!

Bob Marley的一首歌——

『把自己交給神』 是什麼意思？
What does it mean to hand yourself over to God?

這句話聽起來對來自各個文化的人都很可怕。沒有人願意失去對自己的工作，家庭，朋友，社交圈子，生活裡的種種——的控制。有的時候我們也想控制我們的思想，頭腦和身體。
This phrase is seen as a pretty scary statement in many cultures. No one likes to lose control. Control on almost everything: their jobs, their family, their friends, their social groups, their lives in general, sometimes even their thoughts and mind and body.

所以，自願交出控制權對很多人來說是不敢想像的。因為當安全感消失了之後，對未來的恐懼會像斷了壩的水一樣噴湧而出，你會被這些恐懼淹沒。
And so, willingly, sacrificing control over things is unimaginable in most people’s lives. Unknown futures will come crashing through, and you won’t have a single idea of what’s to arrive.

有些人熱愛這種未知帶給他們的刺激感，他們喜歡連滾帶爬地在黑暗裡摸索生活的方位。
Some people find that an exciting, thrilling situation to be in, groping in the dark, not knowing where you’re going.

有些人連想都不敢想這樣的生活方式。
And some cannot bare the very thought of it.

「沒有耕耘哪來的收穫？」
這在中國社會裡很普遍，我們的文化和信念系統給了我們這樣的觀念。不是去評判這些說法，而是意識到這些信念系統帶給我們的習慣和思想模式。這些像中國的古老歷史一樣，傳了幾千年幾萬代。
「What do you reap if you don’t sow?」
Is common in the Chinese culture and believe system. This is not to criticize, but to state the fact that Chinese has a habit and ritual, ingrained in them so deep that it has lasted for centuries, continuing to show in generations today.

社會的信念系統是「不刻苦工作就沒有飯吃」。於是人們刻苦工作，不注意休息，等老了後身體上的各種毛病就開始顯現出來；我們在該尊重自己的需求時沒有好好照顧自己，所以身體會用各種疾病來報復我們。
The tendency to believe only hard work will achieve success has destroyed many physical well-beings.

「相信神會照顧好一切」不是指你需要停止每天刻苦工作，而是在你工作的同時，察覺你的焦慮，壓力和無止境的擔心。能相信神會安排好一切的發生，你無需讓這些念頭纏著你不放。這些念頭並不是很明顯，它們在你潛意識的表面浮著；
比如：
「如果我一個月掙不到1000塊我就會餓死」
「如果老闆在我上任後第一周就炒了我，那我就不會再找到比這更好的工作了。」
「如果我和家人現在去度假，那麼接下來的兩個月我們都不能吃好了。」
「To believe in God will take care of everything」 does not mean you stop doing what you’re doing from day to day, but to let go of the anxiety, stress and endless worries that accompanies the working process. Don’t we all, while we work, has a million things exploding in our heads constantly?
As common as:
「if i don’t earn ¥1000 a month I』ll not be able to eat.」
「If my boss fires me after my first week in the company I’m doomed, because there won’t be another chance like this.」
「If my family take a holiday now we won’t be able to eat good food for the next 2 months.」

 

你的頭腦就這樣一直說...說...說...說....
And ON it goes.

 

我們不會覺得所有發生的事都是安排好的，不管有沒有神在天上（或者宇宙，活物之主，巨大的神秘能量...等，隨便你怎麼叫它），它創造了這一切，也會一直照顧它！因為任何造物者都不會對他的產物不聞不問。
It doesn’t often occurs to us that things are taken care of, by some enormous energy source(whatever you want to call it in your head—God, universe, supreme lord of all living things, etc etc....) that created all this, and is there to take care of it too! The creator will not leave its creations to complete ruin.

這個宇宙中的任何創造者都是如此。我們不會讓自己創造出的東西自生自滅。（好吧，可能會有些不被問安，但不是全部）如果你說你不相信神（或者你想怎麼叫它）創造了我們，那我在這裡指的就是你相信創造了你和這個世界的造物者。
Every creator in this universe works the same way. We don’t just leave our creations to their own fate.( alright, to some extend, but not completely) If you say you don’t believe God had created the world, then i mean which ever entities you think created the world.

造物者會照顧好他/她/它的產物以及他們的命運。所有事情的發生都是有原因的。只是這些原因在當下看不見，它們太龐大，太精微。但有一天它會出現，然後你會明白為什麼發生了這些事情。
They take care of them, takes care of their fate. Everything that happens happen for a reason. It’s just that this REASON may be too big or too subtle for people to see immediately, but eventually it』ll show itself, and you』ll understand why those things happened.

 

現代社會中人們不願意去接收這些事情，那些『原因』。因為我們失去了敏感性和感知度；我們把它們藏起來，試著銷毀它去成為更稱職的『大人』，敏感性帶來了過多的情緒和痛苦...等。我們選擇不去理會這種作為人類與生俱來的力量，因為它給我們帶來的『靈性』體驗遠遠比不上物質世界的尋歡作樂。
In nowadays society we’re not perceptive to those things, those REASONS, because we』ve lost our sensitivity. Hid it away, tried to destroy it to become a proper 『Adult』, too much emotions overwhelmed us, locked it up because it brought pain...etc. We chose not to tap into that source of 『sight/vision』 that we used to possess before we entered the material world.

我能說什麼呢，物質世界帶給我們的快樂和舒適實在太充分太完美了！我們不需要所謂的『靈性』，神神叨叨，是瘋子才做的事。
What can i say, the material world provided too much wonderful pleasures, too much comfort, the 『spiritual』 side of things are just unnecessary to see.

我不是想讓你們都去信所謂的『神』，神不在天上不在地下不在人間也不在外太空，宗教最多也只是一個標籤。不是的。我說這些因為我想讓你們看到，可以用另一種方式生活，誰都可以在任何時候改變自己的生活；不帶焦慮，壓力或恐懼去快樂地生活。但這些都取決於你，不取決別人。你從來都不用為任何人所活，你要為了你自己而活。
I’m not saying these things to try to persuade you to believe in the so-called 『God』; or to have religion so your life will become better. NO. Because i want to show you this possibility to our lives, that we can carry on through life, without the emotional burden, anxieties and fears that follow us wherever we go. You don’t live for anyone but YOURSELF.

把自己『交給神』的意思是：別擔心，開心點！
因為你要走的路已經被鋪好了。你既看不到它也不知道它會把你帶到哪，但是你會從某些時刻中意識到：這就是你要走的路，為你而設計的路。你不能證明這條路是否走的對，你只相信它是為你而生的。
『Handing』 yourself to 『God』 essentially means: to not worry, and be happy! Because the road ahead is already paved for us, you can’t see it, you won’t know where it leads, but you will know, from moment to moment, that it is MEANT for you, and only YOU. You’re on the right path. There’s no proving, there’s only believing.

   

而且說實話，我自己也不能完全"無條件地相信"有人會照顧好這個宇宙。現在雖然寫下了這些東西，我還是會擔心，焦慮，可能比你們還要更加如此。這是一個過程，所以它需要些時間去適應。而我們會以人類的身份，去一起適應它。
And to be honest, I haven't grasped the "unconditional believe" so well either. As I'm writing, I doubt the fact that someone is indeed taking care of this universe. I worry just as much as you do if not more. But it's a process, and we'll go through this process together as the human race.

祝福你。
Bless you.
