英国‧从1万英尺高空跳下‧97岁老翁跳伞募款

(英国‧伦敦)高空跳伞被称为“勇敢者的运动”,就连20多岁的年轻人都需要足够的勇气,更何况近百岁的老人呢?

英国《每日邮报》报导,上週六(4月4日),英国一位97岁的老翁为了给慈善团体募集善款,勇敢地从1万英尺高的飞机上跳下。

8日迎接98岁生日

报导说,这位传奇老人名叫莫伊西,来自英国多塞特郡波恩茅斯市,4月8日他將迎来98岁的生日。

当天,在威尔特郡的內瑟拉文机场,莫伊西在教练的陪伴下从飞行高度1万英尺(约3048米)的飞机上跳下。在最初的5000英尺中,他们以每时120英里的速度自由降落,降落伞打开后他们较平缓地下落,最终安全降落在索尔兹伯里平原上。

完成跳伞后莫伊西老人非常开心,他说:“这非常有趣,我真的很享受这种乐趣,我一点儿都没有害怕。这是我的第一次但不是最后一次。” - The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul

莫伊西还把自己在这般年纪还能如此敏捷灵活归功於运气。

他表示:“我没有无所事事,我参加社会活动,我每天都散步,我自己做饭、洗衣服、熨衣服以及所有一切。能如此灵活敏捷我真的很幸运。”

世界最老跳伞者101岁

莫伊西据称是英国最老的跳伞者,但他还不是世界上年龄最大的跳伞者。澳洲101岁的穆迪曾从9900多英尺的高空跳下,有趣的是,据说他是和朋友打赌才有了那惊人一跳。

跳伞之后,穆迪喝啤酒庆祝並收取他朋友们交出的赌注。

Recently learnt about emotion triangle, it said human tends to suppress core emotion, and manifested as either a defense or inhibitory emotion. The emotion that we tends to inhibit are shame, guilt ... There are fear and inferiority that governs my heart - I have to learn to address and admit my feelings better, and make a decision to communicate or set a boundary. It is hard to actually do so, and I know after I have done it - I can sense my guilt and shame. It is like a vicious cycle.  I have to make a promise to myself - be mindful, be steady and let my head clears. Don't react much...But at the same times I am glad that I did say something. I did express myself. I did feeling less intense. I treated it as a progress.  Anyway I felt sorry of the people that I hurt - when I am still a human with sin...

当你爱的人伤害自己 心痛的是爱你的那个人 就好像眼睁睁的看着爱的人走向火堆 再怎样的担忧爱的人还是继续走向 爱的人和爱你的人都各自有主见 但那个方式才是对才是错 跟着爱的人的方式 明明就觉得危险但还需要装作不危险 还是要告诉爱的人危险但爱的人不想知道危险 这就是困难之处 难道真的不做任何努力挽救? 就这样默默让爱的人要怎样就怎样? 理不清对错 爱中不讲理 爱只所以强大是因为真的很难
