the people that count to you----

最近看了《安妮日记》。二战爆发，德军攻占荷兰后，犹太人安妮弗兰克和姐姐、父母一家人没法再过太平日子，为了躲避迫害，一家人悄悄的藏在爸爸公司的阁楼中。爸爸富有远见，把公司改名，挂在朋友名下。

“最好的办法是我们守在一起，保持希望。”    “坚持工作和保持希望。”

“这不公平！”   “有时候人会陷入困境，虽然他们并没有做错什么。” 

犹太人聪明机智，影片中也能看到一些：关爱家人，重视家庭教育、高等教育，努力工作。

安妮和七八个人一起生活在狭小的阁楼中，继续在心爱的日记本上写日记，她早熟，不安分，经常会有浪漫天真的想法，“呱呱呱”是个被人嫌弃的小话唠，有时也不能被父母理解。和姐姐畅想着战争结束后，要去巴黎、伦敦旅行，学历史，写小说。

“明枪易躲，暗箭难防。”就在德军败退前不久，有人告密，盖世太保在阁楼中抓捕了所有人，他们全被送进集中营。战争结束后，幸存的只有爸爸一个人。安妮的日记被完好的保存下来，后来被出版成书，拍成影片。

As Bertrand Russell says, "Success is getting what you want, happiness is wanting what you get." I won the ovarian lottery the day I was born and so did all of you. We're all successful, intelligent, educated. To focus on what you don't have is a terrible mistake. With the gifts all of us have, if you are unhappy, it's your own fault.

I know a woman in her 80's, a Polish Jew woman forced into a concentration camp with her family but not all of them came out. She says, "I am slow to make friends because when I look at people, I have one question in mind; would they hide me?" If you get to be my age, or younger for that matter, and have a lot of people that would hide you, then you can feel pretty good about how you've lived your life. I know people on the Forbes 400 list whose children would not hide them. "He's in the attic, he's in the attic." Some of them keep compensating by joining board seats or getting honorary degrees, but it doesn't change the fact that no one will give a damn when they are gone. The most powerful force in the world is unconditional love. To horde it is a terrible mistake in life. The more you try to give it away, the more you get it back. At an individual level, it's important to make sure that for the people that count to you, you count to them.

第一次读到这篇时，读不通，没能理解，更没有放在心上。好不容易周末休息了，和大家一起徒步运动，聚餐聊天，干嘛老提这些严肃的话题 ？！

和平年代里，盖世太保，集中营，离我们的生活很远。我们离家人近吗？

现在看电影小说，也会留意那些情侣，哪些是在论斤称量，哪些是计较真假。
