凯南日记_[美]乔治·凯南【完结】(14)

  凯南还提出了关于爱、上帝、死亡等难以解答的重大问题。终其一生,他都在以一种极其个人化的方式追问答案,这也启发我们每个人去思考这些困扰了他一百零一年人生的难题。作为既想保持正派又要获得幸福的人,我们该如何化解性自由的冲动与家庭责任之间的冲突?宗教(对他来说是充满人文关怀的基督教)如何塑造我们的日常生活以及我们对人生的终极展望?

  虽然凯南在日记中所说的话依然谨慎,或者有所保留,或者拐弯抹角,但是在阅读的过程中,我们能感觉到与他的距离不断拉近。日记展现了一个伟人的脆弱,展现了我们在自己身上也能发现的弱点。借助这位天才作家的文字,以及他对自己品格的果敢判断,我们能够了解他,也能更好地了解自己。他对自我的剖析,正是我们还没领悟到的真谛。凯南记录了衰老的历程,记录了他意识到自己即将走向人生终点的心路之旅,看到这些,我们似乎也一样亲身体验到了死亡的残酷过程,一个人的才华就这样一点点地被剥蚀。通过凯南不懈的努力,我们也或多或少领悟到,怎样学会与艰难的现实人生相妥协,带着尊严隐没于历史,要不懈追求做最好的自己,尽管最终的完美目标永远无法企及,但所谓成功就在于尽力而为。
