生病也是生活体验之一种，甚或算得一项别开生面的游历。生病的经验是一步步懂得满足。发烧了，才知道不发烧的日子多么清爽。咳嗽了，才体会不咳嗽的嗓子多么安祥。刚坐上轮椅时，我老想，不能直立行走岂非把人的特点搞丢了？便觉天昏地暗。等到又生出褥疮，一连数日只能歪七扭八地躺着，才看见端坐的日子其实多么晴朗。后来又患‘尿毒症’，经常昏昏然不能思想，就更加怀恋起往日时光。终于醒悟：其实每时每刻我们都是幸运的，因为任何灾难的前面都可能再加一个‘更’字。Inthepastsixmonths,I’veconstantlyfallensick.AndrecentlyI’vefullyexperiencedthebitternessofphysicalpain.Becauseoftheextremepain,Ioncemoanedandgroanedwithtearsfilledinmyeyes.TherewerealsoseveralnightswhenthepainwassoterriblethatIwasunabletofallasleep.Thepainstoleallmyattentionwhichwassupposedtobedrawntomywork.What’smore,thepaintookawayallmytenderness.Ibecameimpatientandhot-temperedwithoutanysweetness,gentlenessorsenseofreason.Ihurttheoneswholovemewithmyexplosivetemper.ButIdidn’tmeanit.Inaddition,thepainmademelosethepassionforlife.Depressedandhopeless,Iwasdisoriented.Allinall,everythingwasdisordered.ShiTiesheng,agreatwriteroncesaid,“Beingillisakindoflifeexperienceoraspecialperegrinationinlife.Theillnessmademeknowhowtobesatisfiedstepbystep.NotuntilIhadafeverdoIrealizehowrelaxingthedaysbeforethedaysoffeverwere.NotuntilIhadacoughdoIrealizehowcomfortableIfeltinmythroatbeforethedaysofcough.WhenIhadtositonthewheelchair,Iwasalwaysthinking,withouttheabilityofwalkingupright,didn’tIlosethecharacteristicsofhuman?ThenIfelttheoutlookforthefuturewasgloomy.Afterwards,Isufferedfrombedsore.ForseveraldaysIcouldonlylaycrookedinbed.Untilthen,IknewwhatfinedayswhenIcouldjustsitup.ThenIcamedownwithuremia.UnderitstortureIwasoftenunabletothink,whichmadememorenostalgicforthegoodolddays.FinallyIrealize,infact,wearesoluckyeverymoment,becausethenextcatastrophemaybemoresevereandserious.”Nothingismoreimportantthanhealthintheworld.PainorlossmakesmerealizethatImustlearntoappreciateandtreasurewhatIhave.Lifeisn’talwaysabedofrosesbutitshouldbecherished.Bekindtobody,improvehealth,lovemyselfandenjoylife.
