“你总能在峰顶处看到美丽的天空,但在抵达峰顶前你是看不到的。”
每当太阳快下山时,我和父亲总会去爬我家附近的那座山。我们经常在爬山时聊起许多话题。父亲的经验之谈,让我受益匪浅。他总是鼓励我:“你要有山一般坚定的目标和宽阔的胸怀。”
这些话对我的人生产生了深刻的影响。父亲总是很忙,要不是我们都喜欢爬山,我们不可能有很多时间待在一起。我坚信爬山的确很有好处——它让我有了与父亲畅谈和独自沉思的时间,同时也培养了我的耐性。我爱爬山,它可以使我远离城市的嘈杂和污染,呼吸新鲜的空气。
一次,我们爬一座很高的山。对我来说,那简直是一个巨大的挑战,因为那时我只有10岁。开始的几个小时,我还享受着清新的空气,聆听着鸟儿的欢叫,欣赏着蝴蝶的翩翩起舞。慢慢地,我的双腿酸疼起来。在那个时刻,我非常讨厌爬山,甚至想放弃。这时父亲对我说:“春天是万物复苏的季节。此刻,山峦和田野被鲜花和树木装扮。你总能在峰顶处看到美丽的天空,但在抵达峰顶前你是看不到的。在山顶,你总能欣赏到众多瀑布、山峰和峡谷的美景,但这一切在半山腰却看不到。只有在山顶,你才有幸饱览这一切,如同生活中一样。”
那时,我还小,无法理解他的话,但这些话使我充满了希望和信心。我终于爬到了顶峰。放眼望去,我看见整个天空如水晶般澄澈。
给生命一个高度,便可以看到别样的风景。在现实中,大部分人仅仅满足于平坦、容易到达之处的风景,并错误地认为这就是美的极致,而事实上,最瑰丽的奇景永远在幽深险怪之处,只有少数勇者可以到达。
