【D.G. Wander ⎮宇宙有時 / Time in the Universe】

發表於 Oct 04, 2022

你相信宇宙自有它的安排嗎？我們常說：「命運掌握在自己的手裡」，但也有一種觀點認為，萬事萬物所有的軌跡早已設定好了，我們只是依照它運行而已。真是如此嗎？

Do you believe that the universe has its own arrangements? We often say: "Fate is in our own hands". But there is also a view that the trajectory of everything is already set, and we are just following it. Is that so?

人類相較於廣大的宇宙，實在太渺小了！如果我們去精算人類出現在宇宙裡的歷史，連一天當中的一秒鐘都不到。想到這裡，我們人類面對宇宙不得不謙卑，因為我們的一生稍縱即逝，實在太微不足道了。但相反地，正是因為如此短暫，我們更應當好好珍惜彼此相遇的每一刻，因為這輩子無論愛與不愛，下輩子很可能不會再相遇。

Compared with the vast universe, human beings are too tiny! If we try to calculate the history of human beings in the universe, there is just like a second in a day. Thinking of this, we humans have to be humble in the face of the universe because of our fleeting and insignificant lives. But on the contrary, precisely because life is so short, we should cherish every moment we meet with each other, because whether we love each other or not in this life, we will probably never meet again in the next life.

就像四季有著它的循環變化，宇宙本身也有它運行的法則。我們是依照這個法則，以及它所規劃的時程表出現的，對宇宙的歷史來說僅僅這麼一瞬間，如此之短暫。我們常因為一些小事而起了紛爭甚至衝突，如果換個角度想，反正我只出現那麼一剎那，似乎也沒什麼好爭的？大事化小，小事化無，不是因為消極的心態，而是我們心中有著豁達。爭什麼呢？不如用其他方式好好珍惜我們的人生。

Just as the four seasons have their cyclical changes, the universe itself has its laws of operation. We came into existence according to this law and the time schedule it laid out. It is such a brief moment in the history of the universe. We often have disputes or even conflicts over trivial matters. If you think about it from another perspective, ''I only appear for a moment anyway, and it seems that there is nothing to argue about''. Turn big problems into small ones, and small problems into no problems at all. It is not because of a negative attitude, but because we have an open-mindedness in our hearts. What to fight for? It is better to cherish our life in other ways.

人與人的相遇看似偶然，實際上是必然的。有人將此視為一種「命定說」：假如一切都已經安排好，我們又有什麼值得努力？任何事都是一體兩面，我們如果從這個角度看待生命，我們會更珍惜生活的時光，以及我們彼此之間的關係。想想看，我們下次見面是什麼時候了呢？即使是每天見面的家人，之後因為某些因素而分隔兩地，甚至從此再也不相見了，都是有可能的。有人會說這樣想真不吉利，但純粹以理智來分析，是有可能的。只是因為機率很小，所以人們常將這個可能性視而不見。

The encounter between people seems to be accidental, but in fact, it is inevitable. Some people see this as a "destiny theory" that ''if everything has been arranged, what are we worth working on?'' Everything is one with two sides. If we look at life from this perspective, we will cherish the time of life and our relationship with each other more. Come to think of it, when is the next time we meet? Even family members who see each other every day are separated due to some factors, and even will never see each other again. Some people would say that it is unlucky to think this way, but it is possible to analyze purely rationally. Just because the odds are so small, people often turn a blind eye to this possibility.

如果你相信命運的安排，你就越能把握時機。有一種人生觀是，把每一天都當成最後一天來生活。乍聽之下很荒謬，實際上卻很有哲理：誰能保證今天絕對不是自己在這世上的最後一天呢？與其如此，不如珍惜每一天，做你喜歡的事而盡情地生活吧！所謂「宇宙有時」，你有多少時間，宇宙都已經幫你安排好了，而將你一切的行動排進時程表裡運行，你的行動將和其他人的行動互相影響著，形成這個宇宙中的千變萬化：一切都有時程。

If you believe in fate, the better you will be at timing. There is a way of life that treats every day as if it were the last. It sounds absurd at first, but it is actually philosophical that ''who can guarantee that today is definitely not the last day in this world?'' So instead of this, we should cherish every day, do what we love, and live our life to the fullest! The so-called "Time in the Universe" means that the universe has already arranged how much time we have and all our actions are arranged in the timetable that interacts with the actions of others, forming this ever-changing universe. Everything has a time course.

人與人的相遇，在數不清的機率之中，僅有一次，在宇宙洪荒的歷史之中，又短暫如眨眼之間，有何不珍惜的理由？我們難道還有時間互相傷害？但是，平時我們不會意識到這些，於是我們活在自己想像的劇本裡，由於這是一種狹隘的眼界，而且充滿著我執與成見，因此不少人活得很辛苦，甚至感到疲憊。

Among the countless chances, the encounter between people is only once. In the history of the cosmos, it is as short as the blink of an eye. What is the reason not to cherish it? Do we still have time to hurt each other? However, we usually cannot realize this, so, we live in the script of our own imagination. Because this is a narrow vision and full of egoism and prejudice, many people live very hard and even feel tired.

試著將自己放在宇宙本來面目的劇本裡而活，順著它的引導來做決定，說不定，換個角度反而活得更輕鬆、更快樂，此時你的意識層次就有所提升，拋掉小我的矛盾和糾結，而與大我連結，你的眼界會不一樣，世界也會因此而改變！

Try to live in the script of the universe as it is and follow its guidance to make decisions. Maybe you will live easier and happier in another position. At this time, your level of consciousness will be improved. Get rid of the contradictions and entanglements of the little self, and connect with the big self, your vision will be different, and the world would change because of this!
