To be or Not to be
--------The meaning of life, the meaning of death
Every one who knows Shakespere must know his most well-known tragedy:
Hamlet and that famous line: To be or not to be, that's a question. As
for Hamlet, to be or not to be is quite a dilemma: he was doomed to be
a tragedy, whether to live or to die. Perhaps everyone will confront
the similar choice to Hamlet in his life sooner or later. To survive
or to die, to fight or to surrender, to win or to lose. He ... 阅读全帖 |

Come in, babe
Across these purple fields
The sun has sunk behind you
Across these purple fields
That idiot-boy in the corner
Is speaking deviated truths
Come on, admit it, babe
It's a wonderful life
If you can find it
If you can find it
If you can find it
It's a wonderful life that you bring
Ooh it's a wonderful thing
Speak our secret into your hands
And hold it in between
Plunge your hands into the water
And drown it in the sea

coast of Highland Beach just over a week ago, and its discovery has
officials and beachgoers wondering exactly what it is and how it got there.
The U.S. Coast Guard confirmed they investigated the object, but they don't
know what it is.
Mark Engelhardt, of Austin, Texas, was in town visiting his parents when he

knocked on my door, "Anna, I have a visitor for you."
"Emma?" I called out without thinking. Slowly, a tall and slender figure
appeared behind Yuki. "It was NOT Emma," I heard my heart sunk.
It was Natalie, holding a bouquet of pink carnations, lavender and yellow
daisy pompons.
I looked at her face, not sure what to say or what to do. She seemed

1. Time value of money - Discounted value (PV)
2. Diminishing returns
3. Sunk cost
4. Opportunity cost (OC)
5. Externality
我最欣赏的是她对第五点的阐述，个人行为对他人的间接影响。
正如她所说的——
“很多时候，你不可能知道你做一件事情对他人会有什么“外部性”的影响，但是，你
必须去坚持做有意义的事情，即便那只是很小的事情。
做对的事情，到了最后，它一定会给其他人带来积极的“外部性”。
或许这些正是economics使人生活地更聪明的原因之一。 |

发帖数: 7025 | 13 爱情中碰到的一些问题，其实经济学也分析过。「机会成本」比较明显，我就说 Sunk cost 吧。
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunk_costs
分手或考虑分手时常碰到的问题，是明知对象不合适，为什么还是放不下。理性的决定方式，是只考虑未来的付出与回报，不考虑过去曾付出多少，因为过去付出的无法挽回，只能改变未来的付出。经济学研究发现人实际上不如此做决定。
原因有几个∶
* 停损是承认失败。人性不愿意承认失败，不管是内心或面子方面。
* 过去的付出会使人高估未来的回报或成功\\率。白话就是∶过去越惨的越会幻想未来。
* 你觉得你有责任挽回失败。
放不下的另一个考虑是「机会成本」。下一个会更好吗？你负担得起另一场感情吗？老话一句，考虑这个问题的时候，不要被你过去曾付出多少干扰。

The next person is not going to be necessarily better unless the first one

如果在普通条件下，基本共识会是生命大于其它考虑，比如金钱，物质等。
但是如果是3条生命 vs. 100多条生命。
而且，无论选择关门与否，这3条生命都已经是sunk cost了。
情况就很大的不同了。
如果情况改一下。
如果不关门，还有5分钟时间。
还有5%， 10%，50%，或者100% 机会能把那三个水手也救活。

The way led along upon what had once been the embankment of a railroad. But
no train had run upon it for many years. The forest on either side swelled
up the slopes of the embankment and crested across it in a green wave of
trees and bushes. The trail was as narrow as a man's body, and was no more
than a wild-animal runway.
Occasionally, a piece of rusty iron, showing through the forest-mold,
advertised that the rail and the ties still remained. In one place, a ten-

我走出城市，走近那条河
坐在岸上、努力思索
我试图思考却无法这么作
于是跳入水中，任自己沉没
我浮起来，大声呼喊
我再次浮起，大声哭泣
如果这水不是这样刺骨冰凉
我真的愿意沉没其中、然后死亡
可这水是如此之冰冷、如此之冰冷
我走进那架电梯
升上十六层的大厦
我思念着我的爱人
然后想：也许我应该从这里跳下
我站在那里，无助地呼喊
我站在那里，无助地哭泣
如果它不是那么高高在上
我真的想就此跳下、然后死亡
但它是如此之高、如此之高
那么，既然我还活在这里
我想我将继续活下去、直到永恒
我有过为爱情死亡的机会 --
但是我为了生命而出生
虽然你听见了我的呼喊
而且看见了我在哭泣
但是亲爱的，除非你亲眼看到我的死亡
在那一刻我才会被击倒在地
生活如此美好！美好如醇酒！生活如此美好！

I MET a Traveler from an antique land,

Stand in the desart. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read,
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:

In this month the wanderers sets foot

Rain soon comes
and Earth pushes dandelion seeds into the air,
the wanderer has learnt the natives' speech,
but he no longer says they
he says we
Into You I have entered
Into this realm of sky a comet has entered
Like into a pond a leaf is blown and sunk
headlong and steady like an iron pellet slowly
