如果你在地铁里遇到这样一个情景：列车到站了，车门自动地开了，一个孱弱的老人辛苦地举着脚步挤了进来，慢慢地走到边厢，打望着原本预留给老弱人士的座位，却没有人关注，只好无奈地伸出瘦骨，搭上钢柱……你会怎么想？如果你是他，你会否开口叫人让位？那两个位置上，一个坐着少年，一个坐着中年人。少年在昏睡，并没有因列车的变速而醒来；而中年人原本在看报，但人潮的变动让他稍微伸了伸颈，环顾了四周一回，又迅速地把视线移回报章。如果这时你就站在旁边，你会怎么做？老人的肢体随着列车的加速而微微地摇晃，花了几秒才勉强站稳，靠得是那只看起来弱不禁风的手臂。我想开口叫中年人拿掉那该死的报纸，站起来让位，但又担心他不堪冒犯，万一碰钉反而让老人难堪。如果你是我，你会否开口叫人让位？正在思量间，列车开到我要下车的站，我矛盾地准备走出列车，却见那该死的报纸也跟着起来了，原来中年人也是在那一站下。于是那双瘦弱的脚终于可以休息了，但我的思绪却越来越多。
老年人无力，是天命；少年人无知，是常情；中年人无情，是什么？？
当我们要让位给老人时，有些老人都未必肯领情。我们究竟凭什么连风烛残年的乐龄人士的尊严都要折磨？
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Welcome! 欢迎！@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Welcome to my virtual home. This is a little private space for me to put my thoughts and share my feelings since 2005. Due to my wide range of interests, there are perhaps too many tags. I would explain some of the less obvious tags:
"About Life" is really about how I have been pondering about life and what enlightenments and paradigm shifts I had experienced.
"About Psi" contains most topics about happiness, optimism vs pessimism,
confidence, comparison, pride and prejudice and other psychological aspects.
"About Logical Thinking" is about my own way of interpretating and explaining
certain issues, aiming to debunk (or create?) superficialness of them.
"About Ideology" is about my thoughts on big concepts like freedom, justice,
fairness in society and religion.
"About Society" is more about my observations about the society, often through interactions with different peoples.
"My Country" reveals my frustration, critics and hope
on my homeland - Malaysia.
"My Little Pieces" has more short posts though mostly are written in Mandarin.
While I do have some posts on book reviews and business, I am planning to
separate them into author-specific and content-specific blogs. Stay tuned.
Enjoy your reading!
