朋友间处久了,调侃之间,多少会加些你来我往的口头交易。交易的结果其实可能早已偏离了第一个提出者的最开始的初衷,不过,凭着双方对对方的在乎,最后多少都达到了双方满意的效果。比如下面这段发生在两个哥们间:
“嗨,老兄,今天晚上机场接我一趟,我请你吃晚饭!”
“得,不巧,正好城里开会,怕赶不回来。这么着,我请你在xxx吃宵夜得了。怎样?”<[

有人说,来世作男人还是女人,是前世修的缘。也有人说,这是自然选择的结果。可以看出,这个决定权不完全在自我的手中。于是偷懒的人,以今朝有酒今朝醉为基本原则,不曾考虑或回答这个"人生"问题。另有一群感知的人士,在命题前加了个"如果给你一个选择",便对该问题有了近一层的思考。

泪酸血咸,悔不该手辣口甜,只道世间无苦海;金黄银白,但见了眼红心黑,哪知头上有青天。
咬完几句有用书,可充饮食;养成数竿新生竹,直似儿孙。

一饭一粥,当思来之不易;半丝半缕,恒念物力维艰。
欲除烦恼须无我;历尽艰难好做人。
劳逸妥安排,健康多福;油盐休消费,勤俭持家。[
