Character of the week: Chaplin

Published on September 10, 2010 in Character of the Week. 42 Comments Print Print

A day without laughter is a day wasted. Despair is a narcotic: it lulls the mind into indifference.

I do not have much patience with a thing of beauty that must be explained to be understood. If it does need additional interpretation by someone other than the creator, then I question whether it has fulfilled its purpose.

Life could be wonderful if people would leave you alone. Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.

I thought I would dress in baggy pants, big shoes, a cane and a derby hat. everything a contradiction: the pants baggy, the coat tight, the hat small and the shoes large. I had no idea of the character. But the moment I was dressed, the clothes and the make-up made me feel the person he was. I began to know him, and by the time I walked onto the stage he was fully born.

I suppose that’s one of the ironies of life doing the wrong thing at the right moment. What do you want a meaning for? Life is a desire, not a meaning

I am at peace with God. My conflict is with Man. That´s the trouble with the world: we all despise ourselves

In the end, everything is a gag.

Charles Spencer “Charlie” Chaplin, KBE (16 April 1889 – 25 December 1977) was an English comic actor and film director of the silent film era

眼泪

今晚的眼泪，掺杂着对爸爸的思念，和对妈妈的心疼与不舍。面对着要离开家的两个孩子们，剩下空空的巢，想到妈妈的处境就忍不住鼻酸。妈妈这辈子的路，艰辛啊。终于成熟的我，满满开始体会妈妈的路。 老爸啊，妹妹真的好想你。我很放不下妈妈。我想啊，可能你走的时候也同样牵挂吧。有空回来看看她ok? 妈妈很想你。保佑妈妈能勇敢地找出新的人生目标，让生活依旧充实。你也一样哦。我还在想象，老爸如果你还在的话，你会对这一切有什么想法和感触。爸爸离开家的时候，是不是也和我一样不舍? 今晚的我，也特别感激有一个疼我的老公。看着视频里，突然之间，没有预兆地大哭起来的老婆- 超难搞的。我知道老公很少会允许自己的悲伤这么放纵出来。所以要你能体会，不审判，不指责，就只是专心聆听和陪伴，其实不容易。可是老公就是那么疼我。我到底做了什么，值得老公那么爱我。万分歉意，可是我就是停不来。最后也只能在心里不断地(边哭，边)说谢谢，希望这人生路上我也能一直这样扶持你度过。 夜深了，该睡了。心里挂念的人们，晚安了。

I think it's time to start afresh, right up from ground zero. Funny to attempt a rebirth of character at a quarter of a century, I know. (okay, i confess i struggled between whether I'm a quarter of a decade or quarter of a century old). But well, some things have to be done! To quote my favouritest female singer-songwriter; my (sort-of) life inspiration; "to give yourself a new life, you have to give the other one away". I am famous for holding on too tightly to the past. Perhaps it's time to let good, let go. Seek forgiveness, and also forgive myself for old wrongdoings, whether or not I truly deserve it (who's to judge?). Life simply must not be spent wallowing in the past. (For we are not warthogs, hakuna matata) So-  Hello world, again.  (: sk p/s: #(parenthesesabuse)
