果實的歸宿
題記：They are searching high and low. ——T. S. Eliot
果實，最輝煌的時刻，當在被人們放進嘴巴的那一刻。
汁水滋潤著嘴巴的肌肉，刺激著舌頭的味蕾，在牙齒的一開一合之間，果實用飽滿的果漿帶給食用者快感與滿足。
果實，在此一剎那完成了最后的躍遷，在帶給人們高峰體驗的同時，也達到了生命的高峰。
一顆過于成熟的果實，往往會走向腐爛，散發(fā)出臭烘烘的味道，為人所不喜。
無論是掛在枝頭的青果，還是落入地下的腐敗的果實，都無法體驗真正的高峰時刻。這是令人遺憾的。
掛在枝頭的青果，稚嫩，苦澀，帶著天然的不完全，它的生命總是在等待中度過，等待風信，等待陽光，等待雨露，等待夏雨，等待秋風，等待收獲的季節(jié)；
過于成熟的果實，則在收獲尚未來臨，就急匆匆地結束了自己的生長，過于匆忙地走向了生命的終點，還來不及體驗生命的高峰時刻，就離開了母體，墮向塵土，結束了自己過于匆忙的一生，因而未能將自己最美善的時刻展現(xiàn)出來。它沒有得到呼召，也沒有完成自己的使命。這是令人抱憾的景象。它也曾受陽光的照耀、雨露的滋潤、土地的供養(yǎng)和風信的撫慰，但卻因為蟲咬病侵，而早早地離開了母體，以腐爛之軀而結束了自己的一生，使命尚未達成，生命已經(jīng)凋謝。
唯有那些回應呼召，持守到底，用無盡的努力綻放出生命輝煌的果實，才能夠享受最后的榮耀。
The fruit, at its most glorious moment, is when it is placed into people’s mouths.
The juice moistens the muscles of the mouth, stimulating the taste buds on the tongue. With each bite, the fruit brings pleasure and satisfaction to the eater through its juicy pulp.
In this instant, the fruit completes its final leap, delivering a peak experience to people while also reaching its own peak of life.
An overly ripe fruit often turns towards rot, emitting a foul smell that is disliked by people.
Whether hanging on a branch as an unripe fruit or decaying underground, neither can experience the true peak moment. This is regrettable.
The unripe fruit, hanging on a branch, is immature and bitter, naturally imperfect. Its life always passes in anticipation, waiting for the wind, the sun, the rain, the summer showers, the autumn wind, and the season of harvest.
On the other hand, an overly ripe fruit hastily ends its growth before the harvest arrives. It rushes towards the end of life, unable to experience its peak moment, leaving its mother’s body prematurely, falling into the dust, and ending its hurried life. Thus, it fails to showcase its most beautiful moments. It does not receive the call and does not fulfill its mission. This is a regrettable sight. It too had been nourished by the sunlight, the rain, the earth, and the wind. However, due to insect bites or disease invasion, it leaves its mother’s body early, ending its life in decay, with its mission unfulfilled and its life withered.
Only those who respond to the call, persevere to the end, and bloom with endless effort can enjoy the ultimate glory.
