#睡前故事:【白】
“Sometimes the only way to stay sane is to go a little crazy.” 那是1999年的冬天,電影海報上的字句和女生頭像都讓人駐足停留,上演著的是改編自真人真事的電影《Girl, Interrupted》,由 Winona Ryder主演。那時候的她頂著一頭嫵媚短髮,散發著令人無法抗拒的魅力。他也是其中一個被吸引進去電影院裡。實際上,他已經在電影院裡流連了很多天。
「你是不是曾經在夢境和現實間迷失過?或是明明身上有錢,卻莫明其妙順手牽羊?你有沒有被哀傷淹沒過?或是明明坐定了,卻覺得如身在飛馳火車上?也許我真的瘋了,也許是因為身在60年代,也許我只是......一時迷失了方向。」
故事開端由因服藥自殺而被送進精神病療養院的女主角Susanna的獨白開展。
在療養院裡,她遇上了形形式式的精神病病人,有說謊成癮的、因毀容而極度自卑的......跟她們成為了朋友。她們每一個都有著自己無法面對而逃避的瘡疤。其中讓她非常在意也漸漸喜愛的是有反社會傾向的Lisa,她帶著女主角逃避治療,甚至逃出療養院。
電影裡Susanna跟醫生的對話讓他無法忘懷:
Susanna : I'm ambivalent. In fact that's my new favorite word.
Dr. Wick : Do you know what that means, ambivalence?
Susanna : I don't care.
Dr. Wick : If it's your favorite word, I would've thought you would...
Susanna : It *means* I don't care. That's what it means.
Dr. Wick : On the contrary, Susanna. Ambivalence suggests strong feelings... in opposition. The prefix, as in "ambidextrous", means "both". The rest of it, in Latin, means "vigor". The word suggests that you are torn... between two opposing courses of action.
Susanna : Will I stay or will I go?
Dr. Wick : Am I sane... or, am I crazy?
Susanna : Those aren't courses of action.
Dr. Wick : They can be, dear - for some.
Susanna : Well, then - it's the wrong word.
Dr. Wick : No. I think it's perfect.
醫生續說:「這是什麼世界?哪個國度?你面臨了難題,你人生道路上的抉擇。你能容忍多少自身的缺點?你的缺點是什麼?如果你擁抱你的缺點,會不會讓你一輩子不能離開這裡?好難的問題,好難的選擇,難怪你說你不在乎。」
最後女主角沒有跟隨Lisa,堅持治療,漸漸康復。
「我不在乎。」面對世界的瘋狂,無能為力的他的確這樣想。「 ambivalent 矛盾」,他每天都經歷著。因此,才想從此留在虛幻的電影世界裡。
電影裡,女主角離開療養院的路上,跟計程車司機說:「真正的瘋狂也許是生活。」她還是選擇回到瘋狂的世界。
最後,他也從電影院步出,選擇回到那總讓我們不得不面對無限個矛盾的瘋狂世界。他很想逃離。他愛完美的事業,完美無瑕的白,沒有煩惱的生活。實際上人人都愛完美的人生,而卻不知道我們已經擁有它。
「若世界除了美好別無所有,我們沒可能認識美好吧。」看完電影的他想。
他想起一句關於白色的話:「許多人以為白就是顏色的缺席。但它並非如此。它包括了所有的顏色。所有其他顏色調和了就是白。它是總和。它是乘積。它是一切。」
不要逃避內心的黑暗,才調和到生命裡的「白」。
面對最差的自己或是無法忘懷的傷口,是絕處所在,但也是逢生之處。祝福一切不美好的事,因為它讓我們認識到美好唯獨存在於非美好的空間裡。願我們能一直珍惜美好的,不美好的。

I did not expect this thing to go viral (no pun intended) but I looked through some of the shares and their comments. Many were just as pleasantly surprised as I was and supportive of the need for universal healthcare. Some were skeptical about the price, one person thought this was in Thailand, a few made excuses to bash Taiwan’s health system despite them knowing nothing about it. So I thought I would clarify a few things:
1: Yes, Taiwan has a noticeably cheaper cost of living than the US, healthcare included. However, Taiwan isn’t /that/ cheap. There are places in Southeast Asia, Latin America, Africa and Eastern Europe that are significantly cheaper than Taiwan.
2: Taiwan is not a poor country by any measure. It’s GDP per capita is higher than Denmark, Austria and Canada.
3: Yes, doctors make less here, but it’s still considered a respected middle class profession. And there seems to be no shortage of them.
4: Some people argued that exchange rates mean US$80 is a fortune for a Taiwanese person. No, you just have a poor understanding of numismatics. The exchange rate has nothing to do with the overall cost. Just because $1 Taiwan dollar is US 3¢ doesn’t mean I can live large here. $50 Taiwan dollars won’t even buy you a Big Mac.
5: Yes, taxes pay for the healthcare here. No, they are not high. Try for yourself: The formula for the NHI monthly premium contribution for a single employed adult is:
[your monthly income] x 0.0469 (4.69%) x 0.3 (30%) = Your monthly out-of-pocket healthcare premium
6: It’s not perfect. Not everything is 100% covered. I had a good experience, but Im sure many people have had [non-financial] medical horror stories here.
7: This system exists because the Taiwanese government believes that healthcare is a right for all of its citizens, rather than a privilege for those who can afford it. Those aren’t my words, thats what the Ministry of Health said in its English language brochure. Every Taiwanese citizen and foreign permanent resident is entitled to, and required to enroll in the National Health Insurance Program (NHI). Everyone is covered, regardless of employment status, no one is uninsured, no one ever goes bankrupt due to medical bills.
I have yet to meet a Taiwanese person who wasn’t satisfied with, or even outright proud of their healthcare system. My expat friends praise it, even those from countries with universal healthcare systems of their own.
Taiwan is less wealthy than the US, yet it spends less and gets more out of its healthcare system. We see the same story repeat itself in every other developed nation. This debate is all so tiresome, because there is no debate. Universal healthcare works, it can be done here, it can be done in any country with sufficient resources. All we need is political will and an implementation plan. Pardon my French but, America, get your head out of your ass, and stop making excuses.

How to write and read Iroha | Japanese famous pangram poem | Learn Japanese
The Iroha (いろは) is a Japanese poem. Originally the poem was attributed to the founder of the Shingon Esoteric sect of Buddhism in Japan, Kūkai, but more modern research has found the date of composition to be later in the Heian period (794–1179). The first record of its existence dates from 1079. It is famous because it is a perfect pangram, containing each character of the Japanese syllabary exactly once. Because of this, it is also used as an ordering for the syllabary, in the same way as the A, B, C, D... sequence of the Latin alphabet.
