一直以来和流量明星无关的陈道明上了热搜,竟然是因为白头发。看到照片后,很多人感慨:这还是那个坐在金銮殿上指点江山的康熙爷吗?其实,现实中陈道明已经65岁了,出道也已经30多年,可与其说他是个演员,不如说他是个文人,在纷繁嘈杂的娱乐圈,他出淤泥而不染,可以做到独善其身。他这样说:“我无奈于世道,世道也无奈于我。”

人活着有三个层次:
第一个层次:活着。
第二个层次:体面地活着。
第三个层次:明白地活着。
世人皆醉我独醒,醒的那个人往往是最难的,陈道明算是其中一位。
道可道,非常道;明可明,非常明。
在喧嚣混沌的名利场,陈道明有他自己的“非常之明”。
什么是“非常之明”?陈道明说:
我觉得节制是人生最大的享受,物质的释放、精神的释放都很容易,但是难的是节制。
所以做人的最高意境是节制,而不是释放。
知世故而不世故,处江湖而远江湖。
节制二字,早已贯穿陈道明的人生哲学。
