上帝與厭世的想法
God and Pessimism
一直以來，小小基督徒酥喵我都有種厭世。
For the longest time, I have felt the grip of pessimism.
每天早上醒來，雖然也會禱告，卻還是有點乏力。
I woke up every morning and I would pray, but I still feel weary.
身為基督徒，我知道應該定睛在上帝身上。
As a Christian, I know that I should fix my eyes on God only.
然而，人出門在外，還是要活在這個物質世界啊(握拳)。
However, as a living human being, I just have to live in this material world (
).
就像此刻，本人已經一個月沒有案子，
Like right now, one month have gone by and I haven't done much.
除了中間有個很短的東西要翻譯，
Except that I had to translate a short letter at some point,
開始覺得隨時會被資遣，也好，我沒有很想留下。
I began to feel that I will be involuntarily dismissed, which is good because I don't want to stay.
那麼，關於厭世，上帝又會怎樣說呢?
So, what does God think of pessimism?
請看下列對話:
Please see the following dialogue:
上帝: 早安，我的女兒，今天是禮拜一呢!
God: Good morning my daughter, today is Monday!
酥喵: 對啊，又是沒事做的一天，太好了。
Ms. Su-Miao: That's right, another day without doing anything.
上帝: 的確，最近妳比較空閒。
God: True, you have more time on your hands now.
酥喵: 上帝，我怎麼還不被資遣? 每天沒事做也很煩。
Ms. Su-Miao: God, how come I'm not laid off yet? Doing nothing is truly painful.
上帝: 那妳不上班要做甚麼呢?
God: So if you don't work, what will you do?
酥喵: 我會努力找其他事情吧! 其實我很厭世，為什麼我還活著呢?
Ms.Su-Miao: I will try hard to find another job! I'm actually tired of living, why am I still alive?
上帝: 生命在我啊! 難道妳沒事做就要收回妳生命嗎，孩子?
God: I control life, and just because you have nothing to do, I shall take your life my child?
酥喵: 我只是覺得無所事事，活在世界上也只是排放廢氣而已。
Ms. Su-Miao: I just feel like I'm doing nothing, and I merely breathe out carbon dioxide in this world.
上帝: 我懂了，妳把生命的價值都放在工作上?
God: I see, you've placed your life values on your work only?
酥喵: 也不是。只是覺得沒做事感覺不好。
Ms. Su-Miao: Not really, I just don't feel accomplished.
上帝: 妳會有事情做的，如果真的沒事，我自然會把妳帶到別的地方。
God: You will have something to do. If you are done here, I will bring you elsewhere.
酥喵: 我是不是這輩子都只能這樣了?
Ms. Su-Miao: Is this all I will be in this life?
上帝: 妳想太多了，這不是妳要擔心的，難道妳還能預測下一秒要發生甚麼?
God: You think too much, this is not your concern. Could you even predict what will happen next?
酥喵: 我是無法。
Ms. Su-Miao: That I cannot.
上帝: 活在當下每一秒，即便妳覺得無聊。生命就是每分每秒的累積。
God: Live in the moment's every second, even if you feel bored. Life is the accumulation of each second and minute.
酥喵: 世界還是讓我厭倦啊! 上帝。
Ms. Su-Miao: The world still makes me weary, Father.
上帝: 我知道，孩子。但是生命的本質就是會經歷情緒，人生也不會永遠難過或快樂。
God: I know, my child. But life was made to undergo all types of emotions. You won't always be sad or happy.
酥喵: 累的時候我該怎麼辦呢?
Ms. Su-Miao: What should I do when I feel tired?
上帝: 休息啊。不要慌張，我總會帶領妳。聖靈也會的。
God: Take a rest. Don't panic, I will take the lead. The Holy Spirit shall help too.
酥喵: 如果還是厭世呢?
Ms. Su-Miao: What if I still feel weary?
上帝: 那想想妳要如何才能不厭世。這個世界遲早會走到盡頭，厭倦也只是暫時。
God: Think about how not to feel weary. This world will come to an end, weariness is just temporary.
酥喵: 所以，我該把注意力放在如何不厭世，盡量活在當下嗎?
Ms. Su-Miao: So, I should put my focus on how not to feel weary, and live in the moment as best as I can?
上帝: 是的。妳的努力我都知道，孩子。
God: Yes. I see all your efforts, my child.
酥喵: 我真的盡力了，上帝。
Ms.Su-Miao: I tried my best, Father.
上帝: 人生不是遊戲，不能半途而廢。當妳厭世，我會給妳力量，但是妳要相信我。
God: Life is not a game, you cannot just quit. When you feel weary, I will give you power. But you have to believe in me.
酥喵: 我知道了，上帝。
Ms. Su-Miao: Acknowledged, Father.
