Joy and Sorrow 歡樂與憂愁 @ ☁️

" Your joy is your sorrow unmasked "

你們的歡樂就是撕下面具的憂愁

" when you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy "

當你們在歡樂之際，請深深地反省自己的心靈，就會發現如今帶給你們歡樂的正是曾經帶給你們憂愁的。

紀伯倫 Kahil Gibran 《on Joy and Sorrow》

On one sunny day afternoon, a little young girl dressed with uniform who was on her way back to school hostel. Out of sudden, she ran into this boy who just popped up out of the corner, she caught a glimpse of him before he vanished into the crowd. Thereafter, the story began as they fell for each other ever since.

在一個炎熱的午後，一位年輕小女孩穿著學校制服正走在回宿舍的路上。這時候，在轉角她撞見一位陌生男孩，她看了他一眼後，彼此便消逝在人海裡。從那天以後，他們深深愛上彼此，而故事也就此展開。

They never knew each other until this little young girl saw that boy again on one school class, she was taking heart of grace, approached him with awkward greeting but the conversation seemed never stopped afterwards.

他們從不認識彼此，直到有一天女孩再度看見男孩跟她在同一間課堂上，她鼓足了勇氣尷尬的跟他打了招呼，而後，彼此的話題就像再也沒停過一般。

After years goes by, this young little girl has grown up and also started working hard for living like everyone else. Another sunny day afternoon, she randomly picked up this letter written by him which soon evoked the memory of her youth, and a story with him.

幾年過後，小女孩也長大到需要努力工作養活自己的年紀了。又是另一個炎熱的午後，她隨意揀起一封他寫過的信，即勾起她青年時期的回憶，還有和他的故事。

They are now living in very different place, this place is so far away and can never be reached, it seems. So much so, he has a life with his wife to be companion and life is happily going on, and she is working harder to work out everything to be ideally on track.

如今他們各自處於非常不同的地方，就像永遠也沒有了交集一樣。儘管如此，他有著即將成為妻子的她陪伴著，日子一天一天開心的過下去。而她正更加努力的把生活的一切導向理想的軌道。

Until this day, they may finally come to a realization toward love, which is beyond control no matter how much more passion or to be of good intentions one have. There is no greatest reason or explanation behind, this is life and we shall be convinced, and move on.

也許直到了今日，他們才開始對所謂的愛有些許領悟。原來愛情是一個無倫怎樣熱情，再怎麼樣釋出善意都沒辦法順心如意的東西。背後沒有什麼偉大或完美的解釋，但這就是人生，我們應該這樣被說服著並繼續前進。
