Eat well, save money, look after the planet







Of all the words I collected from this city, this one made me think most.

It was a slogan on community notice board. I thought it reveals that the ultimate (also the most basic) things we human beings pursued were so very simple, at least very simple in the beginning.

To survive, we need food, we need money (because we are living in modern world) to keep us safe and secure, and we need our world continue to be a suitable environment for living.

What else do we really need?

在我從這個城市收集來的所有文字當中,這句話讓我深思最久。

它其實只是社區佈告欄一張公告裡的小標題,但我卻覺得它反映出人們活在世界上最終也是最初的目的。

芸芸眾生,當那些看似值得追求的事與物都隨著世界而消失時,只有生存還深埋在本能裡。

為了活下來,我們需要溫飽;需要金錢或任何可以在現代社會維持安穩生活的東西;需要適合棲居的環境條件。

人類真正不能拋棄的東西,似乎就這麼簡單而已。
