Richard Feynman was an amazing character mastering physics, thinking, life, and as we shall soon see, love. Richard and Arline Greenbaum were soul mates. They were a perfect symbiotic pair, each completing the other. They shared the love we all seek.
Richard Feynman’s Love Letter to His Wife, Sixteen Months After Her Death。
October 17, 1946
D’Arline,
I adore you, sweetheart.
I know how much you like to hear that — but I don’t only write it because you like it — I write it because it makes me warm all over inside to write it to you.
It is such a terribly long time since I last wrote to you — almost two years but I know you’ll excuse me because you understand how I am, stubborn and realistic; and I thought there was no sense to writing.
But now I know my darling wife that it is right to do what I have delayed in doing, and that I have done so much in the past. I want to tell you I love you. I want to love you. I always will love you.
I find it hard to understand in my mind what it means to love you after you are dead — but I still want to comfort and take care of you — and I want you to love me and care for me. I want to have problems to discuss with you — I want to do little projects with you. I never thought until just now that we can do that. What should we do. We started to learn to make clothes together — or learn Chinese — or getting a movie projector. Can’t I do something now? No. I am alone without you and you were the “idea-woman” and general instigator of all our wild adventures.
When you were sick you worried because you could not give me something that you wanted to and thought I needed. You needn’t have worried. Just as I told you then there was no real need because I loved you in so many ways so much. And now it is clearly even more true — you can give me nothing now yet I love you so that you stand in my way of loving anyone else — but I want you to stand there. You, dead, are so much better than anyone else alive.
I know you will assure me that I am foolish and that you want me to have full happiness and don’t want to be in my way. I’ll bet you are surprised that I don’t even have a girlfriend (except you, sweetheart) after two years. But you can’t help it, darling, nor can I — I don’t understand it, for I have met many girls and very nice ones and I don’t want to remain alone — but in two or three meetings they all seem ashes. You only are left to me. You are real.
My darling wife, I do adore you.
I love my wife. My wife is dead.
Rich.
PS Please excuse my not mailing this — but I don’t know your new address.
博爾頓反川是因為川普要撤軍，military complex戰爭發財狂們的指示。我不明白的是川普為什麼會選他，我只有一個判斷，而且比較確定，川普一直是搖擺或者是想妥協好好當總統的。但是他那樣想恐怕只能是天真可以解釋了。也有說是川普在下一盤大棋，但是選的那些人，包括新的防長，實在讓我無法相信什麼大棋，我判斷是搖擺，想獲得一些支持，包括接受woodward那麼多次採訪，明知道不會是幫他的。我看到的是川普的脆弱和僥倖，也就是他並不是一個堅定的戰士，想左右逢源，最後現在被逼的這樣。即便現在，我還是感到他還在僥倖。not a real strong man. 老實說，如果換成我，我不會在乎連任，肯定早就如你期許那樣主動出擊了，以總統的權力抓這幫人，NSA證據確鑿。但是他顯然沒有選擇主動出擊，一直在玩連任的遊戲，結果帶來了美國現在的狀況。林肯那時就抓了好多人。
另外一個關於民調。2016年，那時都沒有把很多沉默的川普支持者算進去，這次不同，各家都調整了模式，都不會再犯傻丟人。現在看辯論，據說拜頓已經獲得所有的問題，精心準備呢。如果29號的辯論，拜頓表現不是老年痴呆，基本混過去的話，川普基本輸定了。唯一看10月的surprise了。In any case, 拜頓贏或者輸，美國都會進入共產主義革命，左派絕不會再讓川普干四年。
