"Anyone who cannot come to terms with his life while he is alive needs on hand to ward off a little his despair over his fate—he has little success in this—but with the other hand he can note down what he sees among the ruins, for he sees different (and more) things than do the others; after all, dead as he is in his own lifetime, he is the real survivor. This assumes that he does not need both hands, or more hands than he has, in his struggle against despair."--Kafka

茹素星期五

未能茹素,未能清心寡肉,就將就一下,星期五茹素,為什麼選擇每星期來一次?因為有規律,就會容易記得,能恒常做。
第二個星期試行,毫不難受:早餐來一個麥皮饅頭加豆奶;午飯來一個水果餐,麥包、蘋果,橘子、香梨、香蕉,切片,做沙律,也頗飽肚;下午來一點小吃,有梳打餅和百力滋;晚上和友人吃車仔麵,選了生菜、腐皮卷和豆卜,還有一杯龍眼羅漢果茶。很豐富的一天。
友人問為何茹素,實情是向來我戒牛,因為平日我不時大魚大肉,實在罪過,人實渺小,不應塗炭生靈,可惜我沒有修為道行,所以只有能耐戒牛,雖然十分偶爾吃少許牛,但沒有太著意去戒,反而戒得安安樂樂,太著意戒,就會想得太多,會心癢癢想試。
上星期情況就是這樣子,一心戒肉,到了晚上,就按捺不住,要來拼命吃肉來滿足心癮,這星期倒不太在意,反而安心去品嚐素食,效果就好得多了,懂得感激食物,欣賞食物,到了星期六,更沒有故意去吃肉了。
下星期五,我將學烹調素菜,弄最簡單的蕎麥冷麵。光顧小商店,支持綠色產業,這些目標,倒也能令我有信念去支持每星期的素食日。
