暴風雨前夕往往是陽光普照,好比人在最意氣風發時突然摔一跤。
美國女飛行先鋒兼女權運動者阿梅莉亞.埃爾哈特說:「人生中我體驗到非常的順境正是該預期麻煩將至的時候。相反地,愉快的經驗告訴我,在最絕望的關頭,當事情糟得言語不能形容之時,叫人欣然的轉捩點就在轉角。」*
從前我一見到福音節目就轉台,但現在遇到會看一會,愛看信徒詳述他們的見證,往往是絕處逢生的例子。知道希望在人心,總好過只認知人間慘事。
李敏一言
希望在人間是因為希望在人心。
* In my life I had come to realize that when things were going very well indeed it was just the time to anticipate trouble. And, conversely, I learned from pleasant experience that at the most despairing crisis, when all looked sour beyond words, some delightful "break" was apt to lurk just around the corner.
— Amelia Mary Earhart
