Compare yourself to yourself. Or, the yourself you want to become.
文明之旅 1037 年1,罗胖用一首诗《走在自己的时区里》结尾。很喜欢这首诗,考证一下出处,贴一下记录。
- 2016 年这个版本2 找到的最早一个版本,主题和结构与现在流行的版本一模一样,但内容是关于非洲而不是美国的;
- 2017 年版本,文章的目的就是要找诗作者,但没有结论。抄一张她文章中的配图3;
- medium 上有一个中国姑娘在 2019 年贴的分享4,她 23 岁孤身一人来到美国,说当时自己像一个无人照料的新生儿–这个感受我能体会;但之后就是嘴硬说不后悔,还说特别感谢上帝–这个我就不太能想象了。
总之,这是一首好诗–因为大家看了都有自己的感悟。
