凡是經不起批判的信念,隨時都會破滅。[天涯倦客]
本文的目的,是從愚昧勵志者的角度去諷刺和批判。
Sarcasm:
the last refuge of modest and chaste-souled people
when the privacy of their soul is coarsely and
intrusively invaded.
( Fyodor Dostoevsky )
There are heroes in evil as well as in good.
( Francois de La Rochefoucauld )
信奉大愛的勵志者又教導我們:
Love bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures all things.
( 1 Corinthians 13:7 )
Don’t compare your life to others’.
You have no idea what their journey is all about.
( Regina Brett )
Forgive everyone everything.
( Regina Brett )
可惜信奉大愛的勵志者忘記了:
There is not enough love and goodness in the world
to permit giving any of it away to imaginary beings,
( Friedrich Nietzsche )
人性本善,每一個人的內心都是善良的,
當然包括毛澤東和希特勒在內,
所以毛澤東和希特勒遲早都會悔改,
他們會「放下屠刀,立地成佛」,我們應該相信他們,
所以與他們相處時,我們應該學習克制、忍耐和寬容,
以寬大為懷和善意的眼光去看他們,去學習接納他們,
進而欣賞他們的優點,原諒他們過去所犯的罪惡,
給他們一個機會,和他們建立良好的關係。
毛澤東和希特勒都是人,他們都會犯錯,
我們應該原諒、寬恕和包容毛澤東和希特勒,
如此一來,除了展示出我們的修養和品味之外,
還因為我們相信沒有任何一個生命是沒有價值的,
畢竟他們都是眾生之中需要大家愛護的兩位人士!
Kindness makes you the most beautiful person
in the world, no matter what you look like.
勵志者認為受害者不應懷恨在心,因為:
Holding on to anger only hurts you, not them.
如果能夠一笑泯恩仇,對他們得寸進尺的野心予以包容,
重視多元文化對人類文明的貢獻,
感激彼此在思想、人格和行為三方面的差異,
將對他們的批評和論斷改變為讚賞和鼓勵。
原諒他們,因為耶穌基督一早就原諒了我們的罪行,
並且釘在十字架上為我們犧牲,
用一條不死、會復活的神命,洗脫現今所有人的罪,
所以我們也應該對他們的殺戮無動於衷,
況且大家都已經習慣了人類互相殘殺的現象。
能夠如此去做,世界一定會變得更美好。
Every individual has a place to fill
in the world and is important in some respect
whether he chooses to be so or not.
( Nathaniel Hawthorne )
勵志者教導我們:
有智慧的人懂得愛他們的仇敵,
因為如此一來,他們就沒有仇敵,只有濃濃的愛。
如果我們當毛澤東和希特勒是仇敵的話,
他們就永遠是我們的仇敵,無法解決問題,
所以我們應該用愛心和他們做朋友。
勵志者又教導我們,每個人都應該有超過一次的機會,
即使我們不讚成毛澤東和希特勒的行為,
我們也應該誓死捍衛毛澤東和希特勒的權利。
即使我們不想原諒他們的罪行,
亦不妨對他們的罪行保持必要的沉默。
如果能夠心平氣和的體諒毛澤東和希特勒,
關懷他們,尊重他們,為他們設想,
不再批判他們的是非、善惡和道德,
這樣就能將敵對心轉化成慈悲心了。
Love is life. All,
everything that I understand,
I understand only because I love.
Everything is, everything exists,
only because I love.
Everything is united by it alone.
Love is God, and to die means that I,
a particle of love, shall return
to the general and eternal source.
( Leo Tolstoy )
禍福相倚伏,所以不管遭遇甚麼苛刻的事情,
你總可以在其中找到樂趣,
這是一種達觀和洒脫的智慧,一種積極的樂觀,
一份成熟的睿智,一份人生的練達,
這是放諸四海而皆準,有捨才有得的道理。
所以凡是被強姦和蹂躪的人,
或者那些父母兄弟姊妹被殺害的人,
其實事後都應該懂得這個道理。
自視為知識份子的勵志者,
呼籲市民不要強求別人的想法都要跟他們一樣,
應該「含淚接受強姦,兩害選其輕者受之」,
甚至指出強姦也是一種愛,
而且強姦令強姦者活在當下,非常愉快,
所以有「內在價值」intrinsic value,
況且強姦者鎖定一個目標,然後全力以赴,
逐個強姦,非常有戰略,非常勵志,
所以強姦者是值得我們敬佩及學習的人。
即使我們不同意強姦這種行為,
我們也應該誓死擁護強姦者保持他的強姦權利。
The two most powerful warriors are
patience and time.
( Leo Tolstoy )
The tests of life are not to break you
but to make you.
( Norman Vincent Peale )
強姦可以出現在抽象的事情,
包括政治、經濟、法律、教育和社會福利五大制度之上,
可以經過精心的設計和策劃,經過長期的醞釀,
經過耐心的等待,在低調之中一步一步慢慢地循序漸進。
五大制度一直在你身旁陪伴著你,不離不棄,從未走遠,
它們控制著制絕大部份人的生活,思想和行為!
We judge the character of a society by
its five systems: political, economic, legal,
education and charity.
( Jason Ling )
你誤以為「忍一時,風平浪靜,退一步,海闊天空」,
孰知對方得寸進尺,令旁觀者目瞪口呆,有口皆悲。
強姦者擁有未雨綢繆,循序漸進的智慧,可以等,可以忍,
具備勵志者擊節讚賞的 delay gratification 能力,
正所謂「台上強姦一分鐘,台下準備十年功」,
所以強姦者認為強姦理所當然、理直氣壯,
認為被姦者絕對應該「讓步」,甚至門常開。
門常開不是象徵強姦者,是象徵被姦者:
象徵被姦者必須張開她們的大腿,迎接強姦!
巾幗一向精明能幹,積極進取,根本不在乎被強姦,
而且懂得讓鬚眉肆無忌憚地強姦,在過程中表現合作,
甚至公開對傳媒說是自願被強姦,行為獲得肯定,
令強姦者更加歡悅,流露出真實的本性,減少彼此的痛楚,
可以說是真正各盡所能,各取所需,得到各自應得的報酬。
這世界沒有無緣無故的制度強姦,
運用政治、經濟、法律和和教育制度的強姦,
先聲奪人,鏗鏘有力,不矯揉造作,持久力強,
強姦者認為是神聖的一姦,
是「往前一小步,文明一大步」,
所以被姦者應該開開心心地接受神聖的一嫖。
強姦者的座右銘源於《論語。雍也第六》:
「知之者不如好之者,好之者不如樂之者。」
強姦者會引用莊子的說法來安慰被姦者:
「知其不可奈何而安之若命,德之至也。」
《莊子。內篇。人間世》
亦是香港智者鄔維庸的指導:
「既然一定要被人強姦,
何不躺下來享受被姦的快慰呢?」
正如在香港,周已經融掉了的人依然可以淫志剛!
強姦者又引用西方當選及落選政客共同採用的說法:
You have a hard time right now.
But this is only temporary.
Let’s move on together.
這就是「既來之、則安之」的哲學,
是如何在不幸之中尋找樂趣,活在當下的哲學,
事實上亦是香港人懂得的「大家樂」和「大快活」。
香港的官員亦說過同樣的道理:
「既然愚夫愚婦已經被強姦,只能夠怪自己愚蠢,
希望愚夫愚婦開始用客觀及正面態度看事情。」
聰明和熟讀聖經的強姦者又告訴牧師和神父:
「流淚播種的,必歡呼收割。」《詩篇 126:5》
Weeping may last for the night,
But a shout of joy comes in the morning.
(Psalm 30:5)
但我們發現性強姦者不喜歡孔子的說法:
「己所不欲,勿施於人。」《論語》
他們喜歡聖經中這兩句金句:
「所以,無論何事,
你們願意人怎樣待你們,你們也要怎樣待人。」
《馬太福音 7:12》
「你們願意人怎樣待你們,你們也要怎樣待人。」
《路加福音 6:31》
只要他們沒有強姦我們的親朋好友,
就的確能夠增強我們的民族自豪感,為他們的強姦覺得驕傲。
勵志者告訴我們,
毛澤東和希特勒都經歷過許多風雨和折騰,
經歷過種種人生的失敗、挫折和考驗,
他們能夠在這些挑戰中脫穎而出,殊不容易,
證明他們都是非常能幹和冷靜的人,做事認真,
絕對不會浪費時間在情緒上斤斤計較,
只不過一般人看不到而已,所以宣傳和造神非常重要。
況且殺人和制度強姦屬於國家的主權和內政,
外國根本不應該干預,以免影響到兩國之間的貿易!
勵志者認為他們必須重複強調,
所有受害者及旁觀者都應該嘗試理解著名西環大書法家
張曉明非常明智的說法:「明天太陽照常昇起!」
因為中國有十三億人,最不欠缺的就是可殺和可姦的人民。
除此之外,我們亦不會忘記毛澤東和希特勒給予人民的教訓:
道高一尺,魔高一丈。
得寸進尺失敗之後,在適當時候會繼續殺害和強姦人民!
Always love Mao Tse-tung and Adolf Hitler
because you will never get another two.
Don’t Laugh at them. They do many things
right and yet ungrateful people still point out
and complain about the one thing they did wrong.
Just because they had some bad chapters in
their lives doesn’t mean they cannot succeed.
There is a story behind each of them.
There is a reason why they’re the way they are.
Think about that when you judge them.
Before you judge their lives or their characters,
try to walk in their shoes, live their sorrow,
their fear, their pain, their doubts,
and try to understand their journeys.
If you love them and forgive them,
it can save you all the anger and hatred
that are tormenting you, and allow you to
return to equanimity and your peace of mind.
Always remember that normal people don’t
go around destroying other human beings.
Always remember that everyone has a story.
So forgive often and love with all your heart.
Hate less and love more.
Worry less and dance more.
Frown less and smile more.
Complain less and appreciate more.
Talk less and listen to them more.
You may never know when you may not have
that chance to forgive again.
( Jason Ling )
根據邏輯三段論證:
Judge less and accept more.
Judge them when you are perfect.
Only God can be perfect,
so nobody can judge them.
有人說:人應該務實,不應該好高騖遠,
因為這世界沒有永遠的真理,亦不存在不變的立場,
沒有永恆的敵人,也沒有永恆的朋友,只有永恆的利益。
勵志者教導我們:
「君子成人之美,不成人之惡,小人反是。」《論語》
所任何人看毛澤東或者希特勒不順眼,
皆因他們不懂得謙虛,個人修養又不夠好,
不懂得欣賞和學習毛澤東或者希特勒比他們優勝的地方,
不懂得需款擁抱雙重標準,而且對人際關係的認識不深,
完全不明白多一個朋友肯定好過多一個敵人的道理;
我們和毛澤東或者希特勒相遇,是五百年修來的緣份,
非常難得,所以應該好好珍惜。
毀滅一個人有時只需要一句說話,所以要懂得口下留情,
但培植一個人,卻需要一千句讚賞的說話。
Be kind, for everyone you meet
is fighting a hard battle.
( Socrates )
But the law of loving others
could not be discovered by reason,
because it is unreasonable.
( Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina )
Show respect even to people
who don’t deserve it,
not as a reflection of their character,
but as a reflection of yours.
( Dave Willis )
參考:《幸災樂禍》
除此之外,我們擁護毛澤東和希特勒,
有很多非常合理,而且擲地有聲的理由,例如:
☆ 團結就是力量,所以他們都懂得團結,敵我分明。
共產黨和納粹黨都是進步、治詩、團結,不容批判的集團。
而那些自稱知識份子的人往往就有如一盤散沙!
他們有來自宗教的理據支持他們的行為,根基穩固。
☆ 他們都有理想,有偉大的抱負和人生目標,
都打算闖出一片屬於自己的天空。
They have bigger dreams than ordinary man
because they live for a cause greater than
themselves. They do what they think is right,
they are always moving forward and do whatever
it takes to keep their beliefs and dreams alive.
They stand up for what they believe in even if
it means standing alone because they are certain
that their time to shine is coming.
勵志者教導我們,每一個有才華的人都應該有成功的機會,
我們應該欣賞和佩服他們曾經擁有過的那份激情,
佩服他們天生一副硬骨頭,就是誓不低頭,誓不認輸,
藉著毅力和意志步步前望,步步向敵人進迫,不讓敵人喘息。
成功一向是屬於創造機會、找緊機會和努力把握機會的人,
成功也屬於願意放棄人格,擁抱無恥並且實踐無恥的人。
況且人總是會死的,沒有理想的人早已等於一條鹹魚,也許,
我們死前都會遺憾自己欠缺了他們勇於追求自己理想的勇氣。
There’s nothing more attractive than someone
with passion for pursuing an ideal,
who looks at things positively and
is always seeking to better themselves.
An ideal is always intrinsically rewarding
and makes life meaningful and worth living.
Always remember that a bitter word may
wreck the life of a future thug and
a loving word may heal and bless him.
Remember that even thugs welcome
unconditional love and acceptance.
( Jason Ling )
☆ 他們認識自己,努力創造自己,所以變得更強大,
他們不理會別人的看法,只想做一個連自己都佩服和羡慕的人,
於是他們想做甚麼人,就成為甚麼人,活出不一樣的人生!
結果他們有能力殺很多人,得到了偉大的成功。
Winners make a habit of manufacturing their own
positive expectations in advance of the event.
( Brian Tracy )
別人怎樣看他們,是別人的事,是別人的角度,
他們怎樣看自己才是最重要,
而且他們暫時並不介意別人在背後怎樣說他們,
因為他們從來都不活在別人的期待裡,
這就反映出他們懂得活在當下的修養。
Be that self which one truly is.
( Soren Kierkegaard )
況且君子報仇,十年未晚,小人報仇,二十年未晚。
When someone is mean to them,
or when someone is rude to them,
they don’t listen to them,
they walk away temporarily,
and wait for a chance to retaliate.
When someone put them down, they stay firm,
because they won’t allow someone else’s
bad behavior destroy their inner peace.
☆ 他們堅持「永遠,永遠,不要放棄」的精神,
充滿熱忱,埋頭苦幹,不屈不撓,鍥而不捨,
整個人投入去爭取成功,越是困難就越奮勇,
這份堅持初衷的毅力令人敬佩,值得我們好好學習。
能夠一意孤行,堅持初衷擇善固執的人固然值得佩服,
能夠一意孤行,堅持初衷擇惡固執的人同樣值得佩服。
They are unique.
They are resilient.
They are talented.
They are brilliant.
They are awesome.
They are confident.
They are irreplaceable.
They are fierce warriors.
They choose to be happy.
They never, never give up.
They never, never look back.
They are true to themselves.
They are charismatic leaders.
They are loved, they are alive.
They are stronger than you think.
They took the road less travelled.
They are beautiful, they were needed.
They truly didn’t care what other people
think of them. They always stay positive,
looked at the sunny side of everything,
focused on something they enjoyed, and
believed better things are coming for them.
They are here to live their lives, and so
they don’t let people make them feel bad
or guilty for living their lives.
They are very clear that it is their lives.
They make everyone obey their orders,
rather than to make everyone understand them.
They do not allow negative things to spoil
the good things they already have, and so
the older they get. the more they enjoy life.
Finally, they reached a point in life where
it is no longer necessary to impress anyone
and reached a dangerously awesome level of
freedom, for themselves only, certainly not
for others. If you like them the way they are,
that’s good. If you don’t, that’s too bad
because sooner or later you will find out
that they and you have the same ambition.
不要以為只有正義人士才擁有不放棄的精神,
魔鬼和人渣何嘗沒有不怕困難,永不放棄的精神?
他們跌倒之後何嘗不能夠從跌倒的地方再爬起來?
勵志者教導魔鬼和人渣,別人看不起他們時不要生氣,
因為生氣不能改變甚麼,他們必須學會爭氣,證明自己。
人渣只要懂得如何超然地無恥,放棄人格,放棄說理,
就能夠突破自己,成為更優秀的自己,
練成百毒不侵、天下無敵的好本領,創造出屬於自己的新世界。
Have great hopes and dare to go all out for them.
Have great dreams and dare to live them.
Have tremendous expectations and believe in them.
( Norman Vincent Peale )
他們都有自信,有理想,都覺得自己優秀,
對未來充滿憧憬和期盼,相信明天會更好。
由於他們有勇氣做別人不願意做的醜惡之事,
所以他們才會擁有一般人不能夠擁有的東西。
You must do the things you think you cannot do.
( Eleanor Roosevelt )
Believe you can and you’re halfway there.
( Theodore Roosevelt )
Stand up to an obstacle. Just stand up to it,
that’s all, and don’t give way under it,
and it will finally break. You will break it.
Something has to break, and it won’t be you,
it will be the obstacle.
( Norman Vincent Peale )
☆ 他們愛自己,堅持做自己,我行我素,行自己的路,
重視自我喜悅的體驗,從來不會把個人的快樂、幸福和價值觀,
建立在別人認可的基礎上,完全不會理會他人的意見,
所以他們拒絕讓一般人的觀點阻擋他們成為殺人魔。
Just because they have made some mistakes in
their lives doesn’t mean the story can’t end well.
They know life comes around only once and is just
too short to worry about the stupid things others
say or think about them and so they have decided
to do what they want, regard their own happiness
as their ultimate concern and never apologize for
what they do because of their belief.
They are free from stress, anxiety, morality,
and depression because they are not living
under other people’s expectations.
They are not living to please other people.
People talk behind their backs because they don’t
have their capacity and can’t reach their level.
They turn the page and never look back.
They don’t care what others think of them.
They follow their own path, enjoy life, have fun,
kill, fall in love, regret nothing, and refuse to be
brought down. They are certain that if someone
treats them like crap, there must be something
wrong with these people, not themselves.
That’s why they only make friends with people who
want the best for them and always support them.
Consequently, they make a difference in other
people’s lives and give others a lot to talk about.
勵志者教導我們:
穿別人的鞋, 走不出自己的新路,
聽別人的話, 拿不定自己的主意,
隨波逐流,只會逐漸淹沒了你的個性,
和不懂得珍惜自己的人在一起就是愚昧,
只有認識自己的邪惡及無恥,充滿自信,特立獨行,
不介意與眾不同,不隨波逐流,才能彰顯與眾不同的創意!
Always remember, there is more strength in you
than you ever realized or even imagined.
Certainly nothing can keep you down if you are
determined to get on top of things and stay there.
( Norman Vincent Peale )
Believe you can, and you can. Belief is one of the
most powerful of all problem dissolvers. When
you believe that a difficulty can be overcome, you
are more than halfway to victory over it already.
( Norman Vincent Peale )
他們明白人生苦短,光陰似箭,所以不能夠浪費生命。
Life only comes around once,
so they do whatever makes them happy.
毛澤東和希特勒的幸福,都是他們自己奮鬥出來的,
這就是為何毛澤東和希特勒都成為了當仁不讓的 KOL!
He who believes is strong;
he who doubts is weak.
Strong convictions precede great actions.
( Louisa May Alcot )
☆ 他們都重視思考,不介意小事失敗,不怕世界灰暗,
都懂得以大局為重,都嘗試令這個世界有所不同。
They are so strong that nothing can disturb their
peace of mind. They preach prosperity to every
citizen like a priest. making them feel there is
something special in them. They look at the sunny
side of everything. They forget the mistakes of the
past and press on to the greater achievements of
the future.
他們會仔細聆聽敵人的說話,看看甚麼地方有漏洞,
因為有漏洞的地方就是敵人不自覺的弱點,
會是將來有機可乘的攻擊點,這一方面我們應該向他們好好學習。
但我們發現他們都懂得官官相衛,保護同道中人,
但他們擁有開放的思想,絕不介意犧牲同道中人來成就自己,
所謂「養兵千日,用在一朝」,愚蠢人是應該為大局犧牲的,
自從愚蠢人選擇了做他們的奴才之後,除了得到可觀的報酬之外,
他們平時給足愚蠢人面子、讚美和鼓勵,
又讓愚蠢人學懂了「承擔」commitment,「自律」discipline,
和彼此互相照顧的「團隊精神」the team spirit,
就已經是對愚蠢人最大的尊重和教育。
這些珍貴的抽象和神聖的價值,
已經讓愚蠢人收穫豐富,不枉此生,死而無憾。
I sit on a man’s back, choking him and making him
carry me, and yet assure myself and others that I
am very sorry for him and wish to ease his lot by
all possible means──except by getting off his back.
( Leo Tolstoy )
我們又發現他們都懂得只要大權在握,拿著槍桿子,
就可以把頭高高昂起,從事體面和高薪的職業。
他們都懂得虛偽、貪婪和忠心耿耿都是奴才的美德,
忠心耿耿甚至是勵志者心中的美德,
如果不鼓勵的話,這種美德就會消失。
他們都明白建設自己的法律和制度,
就是最好和最有效的強姦民意方法,
因為自古以來愚夫愚婦都屈服在「制度暴力」之下。
他們都懂得只要控制教育制度和傳播媒介,
就可以替市民洗腦,控制市民的思想和意識形態,
製造出無數現在和未來的愚夫愚婦。
Honor the elders, we are told.
They organize a team that understands loyalty,
And this fact alone deserves our respect.
All violence consists in some people forcing
others, under threat of suffering or death,
to do what they do not want to do.
( Leo Tolstoy )
Get all the fools on your side and
you can be elected to anything.
( Frank Dane )
There is no crueler tyranny than that which
is perpetuated under the shield of law and
in the name of justice.
( Charles de Montesquieu )
我們擁護毛澤東和希特勒是因為勵志者告訴我們:
The most wonderful place to be in the world are
in someone’s thoughts and in someone’s prayers.
If we could look into their hearts and understand
the unique challenges they face, we would treat
them more gently, with more love, patience,
tolerance and respect.
勵志者又告訴我們:
1. If you do not ask,
the answer will always be no.
2. If you do not go after what you want.
you will never have it.
3. If you do not step forward,
you will always be in the same place.
當一個社會不重視自己的語言時,
當一個社會不重視自己語言的應用範疇時,
語言偽術就會好像雨後春筍,蓬勃地發展。
所以我們發現強姦者依然需要「語言偽術」,
強姦者往往宣稱「姦與不姦之間有好大空間」,
告訴被姦者「被姦既是風險,但應視作機會」,
呼籲被姦者要「在衝突或合作中取捨」,
強姦者和被姦者都需要「含淚接受強姦」,
或者提出「一人行一步,袋住先,接受姦住一半先」,
甚至恐嚇被姦者「明天太陽照樣升起」,
Rape is inevitable, so live with it.
在自以為是民主的社會中,統治者強姦「行之有效」,
這種現象稱為「妥協」,是「雙贏」,是「互利」!
一旦市民接受姦住一半先,
統治者就會對外宣稱「強姦取得階段性成果」,
然後統治者當然是「循罪漸進,得寸進尺」,
「原諒話也不多說半句,此刻生命在凝聚」,
並且「開誠佈公」,指出統治者是「迎難而上」,
公開指出「無特定目標的強姦並非強姦」,
甚至得勢不饒人,繼續「窮追猛姦」之後,
還硬要被姦者讚美自己,
要被姦者知道被主子強姦其實是被寵幸,
是出於善心,出於來自高高在上神聖的恩典,
是「善意闖入,善意進出」,而不是被聖侵,
所以要被姦者應該高呼「強姦之恩,刻骨銘心,沒齒難忘」!
Thank you for your copulation!
強姦者的語言偽術、毅力和專業精神是否很值得尊重?
Respect was invented to cover
the empty place where love should be.
( Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina )
When you love someone, you love the person
as they are, and not as you’d like them to be.
( Leo Tolstoy )
專欄作家邁克曾經如此描述這類強姦者:
可是那個得寸進尺的男友態度實在惡劣:
小妞都逆來順受提供口舌服務了,
大爺居然「埋怨她無法令他射精」,
大力按她的頭落床,要她跪地道歉。
遺憾的是原來愚夫愚婦都有屈服的限度,
幸好愚夫愚婦不會忘記極權統治者所做的壞事,
當愚夫愚婦忍無可忍時,就會出現社會運動。
所以有人說:
「狗熊出沒的年代,就是英雄出現的年代。」
Show me a hero and
I will write you a tragedy.
( F. Scott Fitzgerald )
可惜做狗熊是一種選擇,但做英雄未必是一種選擇!
There is always a limit to
human malleability and endurance.
