How many of you drink coffee?

剛剛喝了從雲南帶回新加坡的咖啡。一個多月了,還捨不得喝完它,所以每幾天才喝幾次。(那時真應該多買幾罐)

咖啡本身的味道是甘苦的。可是它熱的時候,我喝起來,覺得甘多過苦。不知道是因為熱的關係,還是因為咖啡的化學本性是這樣。

喝了幾口熱咖啡后,我把它放到一邊,去完成功課。做著做著遇到難題,就停下來,喝了一大口的咖啡。到這個時候,咖啡已經冷了。好苦哦!我在嘴裡含了一大口的咖啡,覺得頗為難受,趕緊吞下。

到現在我還不知道,究竟爲什麽我會覺得熱的咖啡會比冷的咖啡來的甘些,苦的成份似乎少些。不過,這讓我聯想到另外一件事。

從咖啡,我聯想到人們處理事情的做法。

咖啡就好像一個問題。咖啡剛出爐的時候,熱的,若趕緊喝完,就不會覺得幾多苦。問題要是一出現就馬上被解決,就會輕鬆多了,沒那麼辛苦。

可是,有多少人會馬上行動呢?他們選擇把問題擺在一旁,讓它「冷去」。

接著,想解決的時候,沒那麼簡單了。咖啡(問題)的苦開始多了起來,代表著麻煩也越來越多了。

到最後,人們就只會草草了事,就像他們怎麼快快地吞下不怎麼好吃的東西。當然,這也只不過是一種逃避。

你也知道是一種逃避,可是為何你卻偏偏繼續逃避呢?
