The most beautiful word on the lips of mankind May 8, 2022

Gibran
Portrait of the Artist's Mother by Kahlil Gibran


The Mother

The most beautiful word on the lips of mankind is the word “Mother,”
and the most beautiful call is the call of “My mother.”
It is a word full of hope and love,
a sweet and kind word coming from the depths of the heart.
The mother is everything –
she is our consolation in sorrow,
our hope in misery, and our strength in weakness.
She is the source of love, mercy, sympathy, and forgiveness….

Everything in nature bespeaks the mother.
The sun is the mother of earth and gives it its nourishment of heart;
it never leaves the universe at night until it has put the earth to sleep
to the song of the sea and the hymn of birds and brooks.
And this earth is the mother of trees and flowers.
It produces them, nurses them, and weans them.
The trees and flowers become kind mothers of their great fruits and seeds.
And the mother, the prototype of all existence, is the eternal spirit, full of beauty and love.

~ KAHLIL GIBRAN

从我上面转发的催人泪下的两段视频可以看出,残疾人在美国是何等受到尊重!

那个热衷于在他小品里通过嘲弄残疾人等弱势群体来逗乐的“赵大师”,被中央电视台视为至宝。在1990年起的20余年时间里,央视几乎年年都要请他上春晚“压轴以保证收视率”,其实是为了迎合某些人的低级趣味!赵本山于2007年来美国演出,若不是他演出后溜得快,就会被众多华人集体起诉!这就体现了不同人们不同的幽默观、不同的价值观!

赵本山美国演出失败 被媒体批评内容下流 歧视弱者
https://www.sohu.com/a/139434943_359734

中国著名美学家、文艺理论家、教育家和翻译家朱光潜先生说过,“我们须承认幽默对于文艺的重要,同时也要指出幽默是极不容易的事。幽默有种种程度上的分别。说高一点,庄子、司马迁、陶潜、杜甫一班大作家有他们的幽默;说低一点,说相声、玩杂耍、村戏打诨、市井流氓斗唇舌、报屁股上的余兴之类玩意也有他们的幽默。幽默之中有一个极微妙的分寸,失去这个分寸就落到下流轻薄。"

This song is going viral in China. It shows some girls obsessing over a sick aged man in power:

Following suit, somebody in China wrote a similar song with an almost identical title, which is also going viral in China. I am sure you know what I am talking about!

生命的代价... May 31, 2022



直面真实的世界

二、在荒谬中生活
疫情的连锁反应,加上时局的变动,导致光怪陆离的社会现象此起彼伏。

发表一份记录疫情下日常生活之种种的日记,得做好被约谈的准备。声援一下因课堂言论被开除的同行,甚至要面临“被精神病”的遭遇;在自媒体的接力呼吁之下,好不容易从精神病院出来,最终却只能在年关来临之际,选择从此别离家乡。
冰天雪地里,怀胎八月的孕妇在医院门外坐等流产,而突发心脏病的老人,以必须核酸检测为由,在无情的等待中失去救治的机会。

一位妈妈接到中学放假的女儿,在已通过十八轮核酸检测的情况下,仍被卡点拦着不让回家,在冬日的寒夜彷徨街头直到天明。
山东的某位镇委书记告诫上访人员,有一百种手段“刑事”对方;河南的某位县长更是杀气腾腾地喊话,春节期间要对恶意返乡者先隔离再拘留。

以上种种,多么希望只是个例,可惜不是。那位声称有一百种手段“刑事”上访人员的镇委书记,想必不会认为自己说的内容有错,而只会怪自己政治上幼稚,把不能说而一直在做的事说出了口,还不小心被录了音。的确,她道出的是现实。刑法中多的是手段来对付上访人员,包括寻衅滋事罪、敲诈勒索罪以及扰乱国家机关工作秩序罪等,都是实务中常用的罪名。

那位在冬日寒夜与女儿一起彷徨街头的妈妈,曾这样哭诉:“如果每一个教训都要付出生命的代价,才能成为教训的时候,这样是不是太惨痛了?……你们是执法部门,但是天理人情呀,我们是不是把人放在了第一位?” 她的哭诉让人潸然泪下 ….

Truth is what stands the test of experience May 31, 2022

前不久,我们上一家中餐馆吃饭。埋单时,服务员给了我们几个 fortune cookies。我打开其中一个,发现里面小纸条上写着:Truth is what stands the test of experience。我孤陋寡闻,只觉得这话说得很好,但不知是谁的金句。上网查了之后,才知那是爱因斯坦的话。我感觉,这句话与“实践是检验真理的唯一标准”意思相近。我回家之后继续学习,又看到不少金句,故与大家分享:

Who said "所有的战争叫嚣、...... 都来自那些不上战场的人"? May 31, 2022



所有的战争宣传,所有的叫嚣、谎言和仇恨,都来自那些不上战场的人。

有一位死在越南战场上的年轻士兵,叫赵占英。他牺牲时只有21岁。当年,赵占英的母亲得知儿子牺牲的消息,悲痛万分,几次晕厥。因为埋儿子的烈士陵园离自家太远,赵妈妈家境又特别贫穷,所以她省吃俭用了20年,才攒够去陵园的路费……

20年后,已老态龙钟的赵妈妈扶着儿子的墓碑,失声痛哭。20年中她一直在悲痛中活着,而此刻,她只希望儿子不要怨恨自己,隔了这么久才来看他。

正义存在吗? Jun 2, 2022

ysun wrote:

《正义是什么?》

我们所有的法律都要朝着良善去解释,都要朝着正义去解释
当然,这里有一个基本性的问题:
大家觉得这个世界上存在正义吗?
正义是人的发明还是人的发现?
正义是主观的还是客观的?
… …

怀疑主义是理性时代的咒诅
同学们去过南极洲吗?——没有
这个世界上有南极洲吗?——有
你凭什么认为有?真的客观存在吗?你去过吗?——地图上有呀!
有可能是假的呀!有可能是我身边的人组织了一个大大的阴谋「骗我说这个世界上有南极洲」
中国历史上有秦朝吗?——有
你凭什么认为有?你去过吗?——史记上说了有啊
你说司马迁写过史记,司马迁难道有可能 不是在骗你吗?或者他自己也被骗了,出土的文物有没有可能是假的?
……

理性不是唯一的认识论依据,我们人类所有的思考其实都是建立在相信的基础上
我们相信存在正义,而正义一定是客观存在的
我还要告诉各位,如果你的认识论基础是怀疑主义的,你一定要思考一个问题,在逻辑上的问题
——你所怀疑的一切难道不是值得怀疑的吗?
你大脑用来做出怀疑主义的这个结论的这个构造、这个推论,难道不值得怀疑吗?

就是说,你的怀疑本身是不是应该去怀疑的
我好像说的太深了,我只是想提醒各位:
公平和正义是存在的,法律要追求公平和正义 ….

—— 中国政法大学法学教授罗翔


一个知识越贫乏的人,越是拥有一种莫名其妙的勇气,
越是拥有一种莫名其妙的自豪感 —— 罗翔
