從來我就不是任何影星名人或運動員的 fan, 更別說要當個體育競賽的支持者。來到 Boston, 不變，即使旁人熱血沸騰的期待、參與、討論相關議題, Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees..., 仍引不起我興趣；再者，課業、實習和散心都難兼顧了，怎有空閒關心「時事」。今天可能有球賽，隔了兩個後院的鄰居們，眾親友大概一起在電視前觀看比賽, oooh! yes! yes! yeah~~ 歡呼聲幾次打破秋夜寧靜。我心想的只是，明天到學校，同樣的興奮之情應該會持續在空氣中蔓延，而我，還是當我的 stranger 吧。

questions
Carl R. Rogers 鼓舞治療師與大眾自問的十個問題之一:
"Can I be strong enough as a person to be separate from the others? Can I be a sturdy respecter of my own feelings, my own needs, as well as his? Can I own and, if need be, express my own feelings as something belonging to me and separate from his feelings? Am I strong enough in my own separateness that I will not be downcast by his depression, frightened by his fear, nor engulfed by his dependency? Is my inner self hardy enough to realize that I am not destroyed by his anger, taken over by his need for dependence, nor enslaved by his love, but that I exist separate from him with feelings and rights of my own?" 1995, On becoming a person, pp. 52
I know that I'm not strong enough. But, what if... they are one [person]; they are the same?

A graceful doe offers her life to save her mate, entangled in a hunter's snare.
佛有一世身為百鹿之王，擁有金色身體和銀色鹿角，與其后、群鹿一起住在與世無爭的森林裏，不需害怕會有外來的危險；但是悄悄地，一個精明的獵人還是穿過樹叢綠地，在河邊設下陷阱。
有一天王到河邊飲水不幸踏入獵人圈套，他努力地掙脫卻徒勞無功，越掙扎腳上的繩纏得越緊，直到他因疼痛而呻吟。聽這哭號聲，鹿群不知究竟發生甚麼事，害怕地四處竄逃，后則追尋王的聲音，終於在河邊找到受困的王。他們一起想盡辦法卻還是不成功。后心想，要是王讓獵人捉了，群鹿無首；於是她安慰王說，不要害怕，她會守在附近，等獵人出現她將求回王的自由。
不久獵人雙手持刀、殺氣騰騰地現身，后慢慢向他走去；后告訴獵人，她的伴侶是鹿之王，以他的智慧和良善之心領導著群鹿，所以請饒恕他的生命，拿走我的。獵人驚愕，甚至是人類也不會如此為他人犧牲，決定還給鹿王與后他們應得的自由。
慈悲的鹿王心想，若不是這獵人放過了他們，鹿群將失去領袖，他必須回贈他一個禮物。王走到樹下，踏一踏地，地面隨即長出三色寶石。王將這個能實現願望的禮物送給獵人，使他與他的家人可以受到保護，並說: So never again take the life of any creature, and wherever you go, offer your help to those in need. 不要再剝奪任何生物的生命，無論走到哪裏，對需要幫助的伸出援手。獵人謹記於心。說完，王與后消失在森林中。

Lewis, T., Amini, F., & Lannon, R. (2000). A General Theory of Love.
Natural limbic inclinations include loyalty, concern, and affection. "When you love," wrote Ernest Hemingway, "you wish to do things for. You wish to sacrifice for. You wish to serve."
