這世界的東西，就跟人一樣，化妝了有時候一時看不出真相，真假難分；可是日子久了就比較看得出來了，所以不要急促下定論，搞不好把好人和壞人顛倒，祝福和包袱也搞亂。。。
Things of this world are just like human beings at times, once disguised or putting on make-up, you cannot really tell the originality immediately, hard to discern what is real or fake. However, as time goes by, it becomes easier to distinguish, so we must not be hasty to conclude as we might mistake and switch the good people from the bad, or confuse blessings from burdens…
寫這個，我是有感而發。。。
因為我昨天才去處理掉一個本來是應該帶給我好處的“祝福”，可是後來這“祝福”對我來說卻變成一個壓力和包袱；這也讓我聯想到我們人生都常常面對這種狀況與抉擇。。。
I am writing this as inspired by my own encounter…
That is because yesterday I have just gone to settle some “blessing” that was supposedly to bring me some benefits, but this “blessing” later became a pressure and burden for me instead. It caused me to relate to the many situations and dilemma we have to face in life ever so often…
其實我去解決的也不是甚麼大件事，也只不過是再平常不過的銀行戶頭和信用卡。。。
只因為推銷員的口才或朋友的介紹，我們很常就開了一些帶給我們很多“好處”的戶頭，或使用很多“好服務‘的信用卡。事實上，我是沒需要用到，只是被所謂的”祝福“吸引，人自然”貪小便宜“的心理作祟，就也接受了這些”好服務“。結果是，很正常的每個月收到提醒你這個、提醒你那個的提醒信，而我又是屬於那種拖欠人幾塊錢都會很不舒服和沒平安的人，所以這些銀行的提醒信對我來說是一個壓力和負擔。
最後我就狠下心腸，決定去把戶頭和服務關閉；但如同所預料的，服務職員又會讓你覺得你的決定會讓你失去”祝福“，或又介紹另一個”更好的祝福“給你！可是，我已經下定決心，不要就是不要了！
從銀行出來時，我感覺放下心頭大石，輕鬆無比，呵呵呵～
Actually what I went to settle was not any severe matter, it was just something so ordinary as a bank account and credit cards facilities…
Due to the good sales technique of the promoter or recommendation by some friends, we quite often opened some accounts with a lot of “benefits”, or started using some credit cards with a lot of “good services”. In actual fact, I had no need of such, but I was attracted by the so-called “blessings” and due to our human nature of “wanting to take advantage of some benefits”, I accepted those “good services”. Consequently, as in very normal, I received reminding letters reminding you of this and that every month, and I am that type of person who feels uneasy and not at rest even if I owe someone just a few dollars, so the reminding letter from the bank was to me a pressure and burden.
Finally, I determined in my heart to go and close my account and facilities. However, as expected, the servicing officer would make you feel your decision was causing you to lose some “blessings” or start introducing another “greater blessing” to you! But I have already made m firm decision, no means no!
As I emerged from the bank, I felt a heavy burden lifted from my chest, I was so free and relaxed, hehehe~
你可能覺得我很小題大做，大驚小怪，那麼平常的事也把它當成那麼嚴重；但事實是，我們生活當中就是有那麼多小小的事沒解決，後來累積起來就越來越沉重，無形中成為每天的煩惱和壓力，最後就影響我們的情緒和甚至身體健康。。。
May be you think I am making a mountain out of a molehill or over-exaggerating as you think this is such a simple and ordinary matter, but I treated as if it was so serious; but the truth is, our daily living is full so many unresolved tiny little things that become heavier and heavier as they accumulate, and unconsciously they become our daily worries and stress and eventually affecting our emotional and even physical health…
我改天還有一些例子可以跟你分享，甚麼是變成包袱的“祝福”或好處。。。改天也要跟你分享，相反的，看似包袱的，結果卻是帶來大祝福和好處。。。
你本身有這種經歷和例子可以分享嗎。。。？
I will share with you again some other day some other examples of “blessings or benefits” that end up becoming a burden… and I would also want to share with you something in reverse, that is the seemingly “burden” that ultimately brings great blessings and benefits…
Do you have such personal experiences and examples to share as well…?
