音谋家电台好久没新节目了,这次的主题是“青春”,Forever Young!永远年轻!

那本叫《苏菲的世界》的哲学普及读物里有这样一句话,“大多数人都忙于日常生活的琐事,因此他们对于这世界不再好奇。就像那些微生虫一般,爬进兔子的毛皮深处,在那儿怡然自得地待上一辈予,从此不再出来。”

我一直把这看作是青春和苍老的分界线。年轻人最大的优点就在于好奇,因为对世界和生活好奇,他/她才会不断去尝试新鲜事物,才会显得生气勃勃。

“好奇”正是人类社会发展的原动力。人之所以成为人,就在于它有好奇心,并把好奇心付诸于行动。猫也好奇,大猩猩也好奇,但它们的好奇只是为了填饱肚子。但是,人却能把“好奇”转变成发明、创造。所以说,人类世界的一切都是“好奇”的产物。

但是,人不会一辈子好奇。好奇跟年龄是成反比的。生活总是在消磨而不是促进我们的好奇心,到一定阶段,大多数人都会觉得自己懂得足够多了,觉得“生活本应如此、不过如此、只能如此”,于是仅仅满足于按照既定的轨迹活着,也就是所谓的“成熟”了。甚至,他们还反过来嘲笑好奇者无知、单纯、

对于这些人,我们可以说,他们老了。

人可不可以永远年轻?从生物学的角度来说,当然是不能。但是,从心理学的角度来说是可能的。青春与其说属于年龄范畴,不如说属于心态范畴。一个年龄很大的人照样可以拥有一个青春的心。关键就看你能把自己的好奇心保留多久。

自恋一下,就说我吧,到现在仍然觉得自己心态上跟20岁的时候没有任何区别。

有意思的是,在音乐创作上,东西方的“青春观”有着很明显的区别。欧美歌手(尤其是摇滚歌手)唱青春,多是围绕“lost control”做文章,总是一股“never grow old”或“nothing's gonna change my world”的劲儿,而中国人笔下的青春不但少,而且总是显得比较“残酷”,总离不开“短暂、伤痕、破灭、痛苦、迷茫”以及与社会的疏离。

咱中国年轻人活着多不容易啊!

但是,生活真正厉害的地方不是因为它本身有多残酷,而是它通过各种“老人”的循循善诱来让你误以为它很很残酷于是不战而降。

不要相信任何生活很残酷的鬼话,只要死不了,一切都有希望!

最后,让我们再喊一次那个古老的“口号”吧,凯鲁亚克在《达摩流浪者》里说的:Ever youthful, Ever weeping!永远年轻,永远热泪盈眶!

另外推荐一首歌,69乐队的《青春》

我们也只能这样走下去
无论明天是刮风下雨
我们也只能这样活下去
无论路途是多么崎岖
我们的青春是如此的美丽
没人欣赏也没有关系
就算到了我们死的那一天
我们才知道什么是年轻
我们才知道真的年轻
