《生命中最简单又最困难的事》读后感200字

看完想在网上搜一下原文和视频，就在豆瓣上找到了网友弗里艾拉斯特上传的David Foster Wallace在Kenyon College毕业典礼致辞（2005年5月21日），也看到了Wallace的一张照片，真的是一张很忧郁的脸，然后特别朴素的着装。
这本书的翻译读起来我觉得还是很顺的。网上找到的英文版也摘了一些句子。
What the hell is water？
The point of the fish story is merely that the most obvious, important realities are often the one that are hardest to see and talk about.
Banal platitudes can have a life or death importance.
The really significant education in thinking that we're supposed to get in a place like this isn't really about the capacity to think, but rather about the choice of what to think about.
Religious dogmatists' problem is exactly the same as the story's unbeliever: blind certainty, a close-mindedness that amounts to an inprisonment so total that the prisoner doesn't even know how he's locked up.
To be just a little less arrogant.
To have just a little critical awareness about myself and my certainties. Because a huge percentage of the stuff that I tend to be automatically certain of is, it turns out, totally wrong and deluded.
It's a matter of my choosing to do the work of somehow altering or getting free of my natural, hard-wired default setting which is to be deeply and literally self-centered and interpret everything through this lens of self.
It's extremely difficult to stay alert and attentive, instead of getting hypnotized by the constant monologue inside your own head.
Learning how to think really means learning how to exercise some control over how and what you think. It means being conscious and aware enough to choose what you pay attention to and to choose how you construct meaning from experience.
My natural default setting is the certainty that situations like this are really all about me.
It just depends what you want to consider.
The only thing that's capital-T True is that you get to decide how you're going to try to see it.
In the day-to-day trenches of adult life, there is actually no such thing as atheism. There is no such thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship.
But the insidious thing about these forms of worship is not that they're evil or sinful, it's that they are unconscious. They are default settings.
They are the kind of worship you just gradually slip into, day after day, getting more and more selective about what you see and how you measure value without ever being fully aware that that's what you are doing.
It is unimaginably hard to do this, to stay conscious and alive in the adult world day in and day out.
Your education really is the job of a lifetime. And it commences NOW.
What the hell is water?!
时刻提醒自己尽量不要陷入思维定式的泥沼吧。
学会给身边人更多的空间，因为我们不知道他们正在面对怎样的困苦。
