What is dignity to you ?? from a distinguished Nobel Laureate Ishiguro !

人們壓抑情感總是為了保護自己，
但是到頭來，
這保護的尊嚴卻在許久之後，
傷害了自己深切的內心。

英國鄕間的靜謐與美麗, 如同男主角自己壓抑的性格，崇高偉大自然的流露，不需要刻意張顯...

After 「長日將盡」, 石黑一雄

💞"What is pertinent is the calmness of beauty, its sense of restraint. It is as though the land knows of its own beauty, it's own greatness, and feels no need to shout it."

—from THE REMAINS OF THE DAY by Kazuo Ishiguro

❤️ Afterthoughts: We are all butlers in the system of society in fact !! In order to live as a dignified person, not only to present yourself as proper and highly educated but also you need to have the capacity to choose to contribute for good causes in advancing the society as a whole !! How? Participating in Charity acts, communities, political affairs and be passionate in voting ～～～ Angelina Lee

❤️” What is the point of worrying oneself too much about what one could or could not have done to control the course one's life took? Surely it is enough that the likes of you and I at least try to make our small contribution count for something true and worthy. And if some of us are prepared to sacrifice much in life in order to pursue such aspirations, surely that in itself, whatever the outcome, cause for pride and contentment !! “ ~~~ From “ The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro

讀書會心得： The Remains of the Day 「長日將盡」by 石黑一雄

We are all butlers in the system of society in fact ! 通常，我們理想中的自己是做一個有尊嚴的人！用不同的方式，對社會國家人類做些許的貢獻。甚至是重大的影響！只不過有時候，我們如同書中的大總管家，並非所有事情都是我們可以決定的。因此，多參與社會公益，政治事務，參與選舉，才能發揮自己的貢獻！！
