Are we all going direct the other way?

一連好幾天的大雨了。有多少人除了担心週末去不了海灘外，會真的關心這個地球？早上閱報，歐洲各地不尋常的炎熱，地球的這一邊則雨下不停。這個不甚忙碌的下午，又找來了雙城記的頭一段讀了一遍：
It was the best of times,it was the worst of times,
it was the age of wisdom,it was the age of foolishness,
it was the epoch of belief,it was the epoch of incredulity,
it was the season of Light,it was the season of Darkness,
it was the spring of hope,it was the winter of despair,
we had everything before us,we had nothing before us,
we were all going direct to heaven,
we were all going direct the other way

其實我還沒有看完整本雙城記，也還未懂得這段開場白的意義。只是，今天就是想到這一段，也許很適合用來形容今天的文字。
