對錯

曾經,性格和心場是硬的,相信賞罰是因果,咸魚就會讓人口渴。沒有應不應該,只有活該。再補一句早知今日何必當初。懂事以來,被教導分別善惡和對錯。功要賞,債要償,必然的道理。但成人的世界背後總有殘缺,世界原來是講一套做反一套。還各懷鬼胎地做。更諷刺是,那些義正嚴詞的衛道之士往往就是知法犯法監守自盜的知識份子,因為知法才知怎樣犯法,怎樣犯法而可不為別人知。

真正學懂了,對與錯不是知識層面上那麼彰彰明甚黑白分明,要判別的不只是善惡,而是人性和心靈。也許是一些沒有前科範例可依據的事情。法律不外人情,盜亦可有道,真理問誰也不知道。若要得到正確的答案才能繼續下一步,那怕人生最終只在死胡同中得一個大問號。與其窮一生去判別誰對誰錯,不如花一秒想對錯背後的義意。

保羅科爾賀有一則故事:
She must have been about 14, and she was complaining about not being able to do a homework assignment, because every time she started, it went wrong.


“Perhaps the times when it goes wrong are teaching you something,” said her father. But Brida was sure that she’d taken the wrong path and that there was no way to put things right. Her father took her by hand and led her into the living room, where her grandmother used to watch TV. There was a large, antique grandfather clock, which had stopped years before it could no longer be repaired. “Nothing in the world is ever completely wrong, my dear,” said her father, looking at the clock. “Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.”

By Paulo Coelho in Brida.

還有另一則故事。耶穌對眾人說:「你們當中誰若沒有罪,誰就拿石頭打她。」
