인생수업이라는 책을 읽고 난 느낌은 요즘 개인 삶에 관한 책 중에서 많은 것을 배운 거 같다. 삶 그 자체를 즐기며, 느리게 살고, 주변을 사랑하고, 나 자신을 발견하며, 타인을 용서하며, 세상에 순응하는 삶.. 이런 것을 표현한거 같다. 이 중 가장 와 닿은 부분은 이 순간 현재에 집중하라는 부분인 거 같다. 어떤 일을 할때, 성당에서 미사를 할때조차도 집중하지 못하며 미래의 계획을 세우는 나 자신을 되돌아 보았다. 한걸음 더 천천히 살아가는 것도 즐겁지 아니할까? 감정의 내부에는 Love와 Fear 2가지만 존재한다고 저자는 말하고 있다.. 이를 선택하는 것은 바로 나 자신이다.
