The Man on The Ground(3) 躺在地上的人(3)

閱讀 : 次

I found myself wondering， though， how his morning had been. What had been his last words to his wife？ To his children？ To his friends？ What had he done the day before？ The week before？ What had been his last contributionsto this planet of ours and its people？

I know that one day my body will be lying somewhere， completely spiritless after I die. My hope is that when that time comes， I won't be leaving many things left unsaid. I hope thatI will have told the people I love that I love them， and I hope that my last words to no one will have been words of anger or discouragement. I hope that even if today was my last day， my last words to anyone might have been words of encouragement， love， and peace. （to be continued）

然而，我卻很想知道，他這個早上到底是怎樣過的？他對妻子最后說了些什么呢？對孩子和朋友說的又是什么？他昨天做了些什么？上個星期呢？他對我們這個地球以及人類所做的最后的貢獻又是什么？

我知道，某一天，我也會躺在某處死去，死后無知無覺，一切都結(jié)束了。我只是希望，那個時刻到來的時候，我不會有太多要說的話還沒有說。我希望我已經(jīng)告訴了我愛的人我愛他們，我希望我臨終時不要對任何人說出怨憤或是令人氣餒的話。我希望，即使今天是我生命的最后一天，我給任何人留下的也都是充滿鼓勵、愛與和平的話。（待續(xù)）
