言說與行動 The Speech and the Action

在日劇《HERO》第5話中，川原朝美（桜井幸子飾）說：「最不幸的，是被遺忘的女人。」[1]我覺得不只是被遺忘的女人，任何被遺忘的人都是最不幸的，彷彿不曾存在。	In the episode 5 of the Japanese drama HERO, Asami Kawahara (acted by Sachiko Sakurai) said: "The most pitiful one is the forgotten woman."[1] I think, not only a forgotten woman but also any forgotten person is the most pitiful one, as if he has never existed.
存在，包括：肉體的存在與精神的存在。要保有肉體存在過的證據，需要的是生兒育女；要保有精神存在過的證據，需要的是言說與行動。	The existence includes: the physical existence and the spiritual existence. To keep the evidence of the physical existence, one shall bear children, while to keep the witness of spiritual existence, one shall make speeches and actions.
然而，以愛因斯坦來說，他的父母是誰？兒女是誰？有人在乎嗎？他不朽的人格來自於他的種種言說與種種行動所構成的獨一無二的故事。	However, take Einstein for example, who are his parent? His children? Do anyone care about it? No, after all. His immortal character comes from his unique story constructed out of his speeches and actions.
