「擁有」跟「享有」，是有差距的。
不少家庭「擁有」鋼琴，但並不「享有」鋼琴──他們的鋼琴是家具、是展示品，但卻不是家中的音樂、不是生活。
不少財主「擁有」名畫，但並不「享有」名畫──他們的名畫是上流社會的會員證、是金錢比賽的獎盃，但卻不是藝術，既不感動財主、也沒能啟發財主。
「擁有」，但無法「享有」。
Isn't it what a lot of us do? We have lots of things and we want to have more...but then at the end we don't really get to enjoy them?A friend from high school asked if we can talk on the phone, and I just said I am not a phone person really....The reply I got was "yeah....I almost forgot you were never a phone person back in high school...you cannot change all that much through the years"....It feels quite ironic to read that.... It's true I was never a big fan of phone calls, but for several years before this year I was always on the phone for at least 2000+ mins a month. It's truly amazing how habits change according to who you are with...
What perplexes me really is how people remember certain traits of me in a particular stage of life which I have no recollections of. My elementary school classmate once told me how I used to carry chapstick with me when nobody used it at that age. I was stunned cuz i never remember using them until I came to the states...I wonder if I can remember whatever is happening right now 10 years from now. Maybe I will be reading the blogs and totally wonder who wrote them...? (That is if I can continue this habit and the blogs indeed do get saved somehow 10 years from now...hahahaha)
