【2019.2.15由白岩松个人演讲想到的】

一位女神姐姐给我分享了一则“白岩松首场大型个人主题演讲”,白老师提到“饥饿与温饱”这个话题,有一个很值得思考的概念是“恢复饥饿感”。在这样一个普遍富足的时代,为什么要恢复饥饿感呢?

从生理和精神两方面来说。

生理上,只有饿了吃饭才会香,才会有味道!我是一个很邋遢的人,但关于吃,我更想过一种“活着是为了吃饭”的生活。想想就很美不是么

反过来想想,当我们真正在意吃饭的环境,质量和方式之时,也正是我们意识到饥饿感对于我们来说的价值所在之时啊。

(以下是一篇关于“One should eat to live, not live to eat.” 新解的一篇文章,其强调的此live,非彼live也——不是活着,而是生活,且是兼有质量、美感、和社会功能的生活)

Moliere‘s quote (from “The Miser”): “One should eat to live, not live to eat” is often paraphrased and used to motivate dieters or over-consumers. I’m going to take it in another direction today.

We need to eat to live. Truly live. Eating involves not only nutrition and sustenance, but also community and beauty. To truly live life, we must eat. And we should eat well. That doesn’t mean decadence.

This weekend Michael Pollan spoke about sustainable food at the Pop!Tech conference in Camden, Maine. The video of his talk is currently unavailable online but you can read the live-blogging summary of the Velveteen Rabbi. Best soundbite of that talk: “A vegan in a Hummer has a smaller carbon footprint than a meat-eater in a Prius.”

He concluded his talk by naming three action items (quoted here from the Velveteen Rabbi’s post):

Plant a garden. “If you invest seventy dollars in a home garden you can yield $600 worth of produce in a year.” Organic produce isn’t expensive if you grow it yourself. Our non-productive land could be feeding us and giving us exercise without using fossil fuels at all!

Get back in the kitchen and cook. “Corporations…don’t cook very well,” he says — they use too much salt, sugar, and fat. The only way to get control of our diet and our food system back is by cooking again and involving our families in that.

Eat meals!Eat food at tables with other people! “This doesn’t sound radical, but it has become that.” Twenty percent of our food is eaten in the car, in front of a screen, on the run. “Food isn’t just fuel; it’s about communion,” he says. “Bring back the meal as the sacred communal activity it is.”

Yes!

I can tend to be a little too utilitarian at times. I’ll choose function over form (especially if it costs less). That’s not necessarily a bad thing. But I have come to realize that there is a place to invest in beauty. Gardens are, of course, functional (and so much more, but that is for another post). However, taking the harvest and truly drawing out the richness of the colors, textures, flavors, and aromas is an art. The preparation and presentation of the meal is not just a task, but a sacred vocation. Sacred, because it transforms the ingredients from mere food into delectable and artistic instruments for a communal rite: sharing a meal.

怎么操作呢?有一个标准是:如果吃下一顿饭前半小时到一小时,饿了,就说明上一顿吃对了。

2018年太多的暴饮暴食,剥夺了多少天好好吃饭的权利。当杂七杂八匆匆下肚,撑到麻木后的空虚感波涛般汹涌……吃饭再无美感和享受可言。

于是这也成为我2019年要学会的一门功课。

再说精神饥饿。

早晨醒来,你是否会像我一样习惯性地划开手机,点进微信、微博,check一下昨晚睡觉时周围和世界里被自己遗漏的所谓大事儿和干货?必要时觉得“哎这个化妆视频好好看啊转发一下[好喜欢]留着以后看”“哎2018年政府白皮书!转发一下考研用!”

饭后无所事事时,是否会像我一样点开b站,抱着猎奇的心态发现一些可供消遣的视频看点,然后在无尽的“兴趣推荐”里越走越远,越点越多?

深夜外卖关闭服务,躺床上玩手机玩饿了的时候,是否会像我一样观看吃播视频看到通宵?

没有大胃王的胃,却妄想像他们一样猛吃猛喝?

不知道买什么?想变好看?想美白?考研怎么规划?上知乎啊!上千点赞量的答帖不够你看还是怎样?

The list goes on ……

如果你跟我一样,首先要握个手,然后我会和你一起粗略地估算一下,早上我大概六点四十醒,七点半起床,将近一个小时的宝贵清早没了……微博、b站、知乎,如果这天并无计划,估计上午从九点玩到十二点吃中饭,下午从一点玩到五点,晚上继续到深夜,嗯,10+小时没了……

等等!我刷了很多干货啊,人生哲理、电影推荐、变美帖、考研帖、美食……怎么说时间都没了呢?!

如果你和我一样也拥有类似疑问,那我问你,从这些所谓干货里,你都学到了什么?你真正改变了么?你终于作出规划了么?学了“那么多”,了解世界“这么久了”,你能写出点什么东西能证明你真正输入过呢?

这就是我们的精神饥饿。

我们总觉得生活中缺少点什么,我们总觉得错过了哪条干货会是天大的损失,我们总觉得那些“七天学会PS”真的能包教包会,我们总觉得只要手指不停下划,我们就一定是在吸收知识,在了解世界,在充实自我……

然而真的是这样吗?

请问问内心。

如果答案是否定的,你便开始自责?错!我们所做的其实都有好的出发点,却败在了充满诱惑的途中。

精神饥饿本来就是我们不断探索提升自我的原动力,当我们迷失在途中时,想想我们真正的出发点是什么?中间的实现过程是否偏离了初衷?开心么?有了充足的输入,是否能够有效输出?

或许,弄明白这些问题时,我们才会以一个轻盈的自己,重新思考那本该属于自己的十几小时、怎么利用。
