多年前,我曾经历了一场恶狗大战。
当时,我正推着婴儿车,短脚长耳的宠物犬一路小跑地跟在身边。
毫无预兆的,三只狗——一只阿富汗猎犬、一只圣比纳救护犬和一只达尔马提亚狗突然向我的狗扑来,拼命地撕咬它。
我大叫着请求帮忙,只见两个人停车看了看又开车走了。
看到这些,我顿时愤怒不已,于是亲自上阵去阻止这场恶战。
我的戏剧训练从未有过这样的震撼力。
我怒声呵斥,动作惹眼,像驯兽师那样控制住混乱的局面,最终三只狗落荒而逃。
回想起来,我觉得自己的行为与其说是愤怒之举,不如说是一种意识到必须依靠自己的力量,自己帮助自己的举动。
生活看起来就像是一连串必须要面对的危机。
但在集中精力面对它们时,我曾自欺欺人地夸大了自我的重要性。
我觉得自己可以独立面对危机,却又隐约感觉到周围还有其他人存在。
