Flow is being completely involved in an activity for its own sake. The ego falls away. Time flies. Every action, movement, and thought follows inevitably from the previous one, like playing jazz. Your whole being is involved, and you're using your skills to the utmost.
心流是完全为了活动本身而全身心投入。自我消失。时间飞逝。每一个动作、移动和思想都不可避免地跟随前一个,就像演奏爵士乐一样。你的整个身心都参与其中,并且你在最大限度地使用你的技能。
Psychology must look at the utility of consciousness.
"Memory is a fragile thing, but stories make it eternal."
How often do we tell our own life story? How often do we adjust, embellish, make sly cuts? And the longer life goes on, the fewer are those around to challenge our account, to remind us that our life is not our life, merely the story we have told about our life.
生命是肮脏的、野蛮的和短暂的。
