短见 偏见 的政治家,,决定了漫长的历史永远偏离正规
界最大的黑箱就是这世界。对公众信任的长期伤害导致真相比所谓科学家更早进入坟墓
之残酷,简单说,他者的悲剧惨剧在经由距离过滤后成为接受者的喜剧乃至狂欢,“冻死骨”的凄凉变作“酒肉臭”的谈资。
学者波兹曼早年间的判断:视觉暴力称霸天下,内心内涵内在无足轻重的时代已经到来。红或不红酷或不酷尽在外表。内心世界算个屁,最具价值者惟有皮囊。内心的坚韧豪迈等真切品质已不重要,重要的只是“看上去”……看上去怎样就是怎样。
尼尔·波兹曼,《技术垄断》的作者,巧妙地运用了大量的历史学和人口学的资料,指出童年是个相对近代的发明。它的诞生,是因为新的印刷媒介在儿童和成人之间强加了一些分界线。可是,现在这些界线在电视的猛烈攻击下变得越来越模糊。电视把成人的性秘密和暴力问题转变为娱乐,把新闻和广告定位在10岁孩子的智力水平。
Everything you need for a better future and success has already been written. And guess what? All you have to do is go to the library---Jim Rohn,American entrepreneur, author and motivational speaker.

法国诗人勒内·夏尔在<共同呈现>里所叹:"散作尘土/没有人会察觉你的消融."此类感知,在叶芝的诗中随处可见:"我听见老而又老的群叟说/万物皆变,一个接一个我们将溜走";"我听见老而又老的群叟说/凡美丽的终必漂走,如急湍."

Though leaves are many, the root is one

Now I may wither into the truth.
boomerang kids (美国的说法)归巢族,指孩子大学毕业后不去工作,回到家庭,继续依靠父母的照顾和经济支援,就像boomerang飞镖一样飞出去后自动返回。同样的情况在台湾叫“三不”族,意思是不婚、不生、不立;在香港叫双失青年(失学兼失业);在日本叫“NEET尼特”族(Not currently engaged in Education, Employment or Training不读书、不就业、不进修),在中国吗?我想最合适的词是:“啃老族”

Invictus-----William Ernest Henley
OUT of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul
《不可征服》---威廉·欧内斯特·亨里

感谢上帝赐予我,不可征服的灵魂。
就算被地狱紧紧拽住,我也从未退避哀求,
遭受命运的重重打击,我满头鲜血,却头颅昂起。
在愤怒和悲伤的尘世外,耸立的不只是恐怖的影子,
但 面对未来的威胁,你会发现,我无所畏惧。
无论命运之门多么狭窄,也无论承受怎样的惩罚。
我,是我命运的主宰,
我,是我灵魂的统帅

歌词:
And it's not just a game
You can't throw me away
I put all I had on the line
And I give and you take
And I played the high stakes
I've won and I've lost
But, I'm fine
Hear me say I'll wise up 'til the end
Hear me say I'll stand up for my friends
And I crash to the ground
And it's just my own sound
