Waiting

470 views. 2018-6-26 14:45 |Individual Classification:Daily Life

So I want to talk today about waiting, in which we all spend a lot of time throughout our entire life, whether we like it or not.


And a lot of us resonate with this phrase—as we read it in The Picture of Dorian Gray— “Knowledge wouldbe fatal. It is the uncertainty that charms one”, which literally means that the waiting is beautiful because the uncertainty is the charm of life.


And I want to suggest today that, in fact, that’s wrong. If you feel that way, it’s just because whatyou are waiting for is not that important. The knowledge like, who would be the champion of this World Cup, is certainly fatal, because it will ruin all the fun.


However, it might not be that easy for a patient to wait for the doctor’s diagnosis, or the students for their performance in Gaokao, or a candidate for the company’s offer. 


And it is certainly grueling for me to wait for things like, which middle school my son would be accepted to, and the day when my husband could finally get recovered.


Today, it’s the 9th doctor from the 6th hospital within 118 days. After 4 whole hours’ waiting, all we got is another same result, only this time it has finality in it: Surgery is not an option.


“If you want to live your rest of life crippled, get a surgery. Anyway, find a rehabilitation center or a shrink, but not me.” An expert talks really like an expert.

 

Somehow I am not surprised. And I don’t want to say any more about it.


Anyway, whether it is interesting or grueling, everything will come out in the wash. So, let’s just wait.
