有一天在杂货店,我和一个朋友排队购物时,我不断地向她诉说我的孩子们是多么懒惰。那天清晨,我上完晚班回家,房间又像多数时候那样,乱作一团。
“我觉得,如今的孩子总是一味索取,我为他们竭尽全力,可他们甚至都不能帮我保持房间整洁。就算我不烦,其他女人看到我那又脏又乱的房间,也会指责我。”
“你知道自己多幸福吗?”我们身后的一个女人说道,“我非常希望回到家后,能看到房子里混乱不堪。地毯弄脏了,或者到处是碟子、成堆的脏衣服、混杂的袜子,我都不介意,甚至别人要说我的房子有多脏,我也不在乎。事实上,我就喜欢那样。只要能再和我的孩子们在一起,能拥抱、亲吻并告诉他们,我是多么爱他们,我就非常愿意踢开脚边的杂物,在混乱的房子里穿行。你知道吗?在一次车祸中,我的两个孩子都遇难了,现在只剩下我和丈夫,我的房子总是很干净,衣服堆放整洁,碟子也摆放妥当。
“墙壁上没有手指印,莫名其妙的污点也不会出现在地毯上。房子里没有吵闹声,没有‘砰’的关门声,没有笑声,也听不到有人说‘我爱你,妈妈’。所以,要知道,你是多么幸福啊!此刻你所反感的一切正是我渴望得到的。我多么希望能抱着自己的孩子,擦干他们的眼泪,分享他们的梦想,或者只是看着他们玩耍。如果我还有孩子,房子再乱我也不在乎,只要拥有他们,我就开心了。”
现在,如果你进了我的房子,看到一片混乱。你觉得多糟糕我都无所谓,因为我感到非常幸福。
