上个礼拜下了Boston Legal，第一集里有段对话让我感到相当伤感。
Denny Crane: Edwin Poole’s problem is he doesn’t like being Edwin Poole. From time to time he looks in the mirror and ask “What’s the point?!” I never do that. Questions like that will kill you.
Alan Shore: Questions like “What’s the point?”
Denny Crane: Look, take you for example. Tomorrow, you are going to the court and argue that some fat black kid should be able to play the little skinny white one. What’s the point? …You don’t ask. That’s the point.
我大概做不到不去问自己“What’s the point”，这实在太难了。
I guess the ‘point’ thing is kind of related to isolation. If only you(and some ‘smart’ people, especially those who admire you or have sth in common with you) get the point, while others do not, you will feel a kind of superiority over the majority. This is in fact, in my humble opinion, a kind of resurrection of confidence, which you did not have. By differentiating people like you who got the point with those who cannot get the point, you are putting yourself in the position of judge and isolate the latter group. For example, on bbs you give some hints, when someone (esp. someone close to you) understand the sublte hints immediately and reply to you, you will think highly of him. However, if someone tried his best but still cannot understand what you are talking about (sometimes because you two are not close enough), you usually will not give this person high opinion. By such isolation, you can feel your confidence back. So this might be the essence of “zhuangbility”, which also proves both “zhuangbility” and the “point” thing originate from hollowness of your mind and lack of confidence.
