chapters of 12-2012


1.      Stillness
Every once a while, the companies stay in stillness
Only whispers flow between the seats
The voices ask, what’s going on?
Seems like someone would like to know something
Know something first so that someone can do something
Seems like everyone needs to know something
But it is not one thing only
If an action can be taken or should it be
If the precious stillness should be broken oh so easily
In stillness, no target can be found
The one who is looking for targets become a target
The job must be his

2.      Nonetheless
Whose business is it?
It’s not my business
And none of your business
Everyone waits
The boss’s mind is wondering still
If the boss got to decide
The decision is not yet made
The direction is not yet taken
Asking for action is not in favor
Not in sync, not so clear
Not so pretty yet, can’t you see?
The plan is not layout perfectly yet
If the boss is not in charge
There got to be a God who is
Who else?

3.      Ideal ideas
Can an ideal world be reached by an idea?
Before that, tell us all
What an ideal world is like?
Any idea of the ideal world?
Do they exist?
Is there a description of the ideal world?
Or is the idea of an ideal world different in different aspect?
And whose ideas should be realized
Can we have an ideal voting system so people can decide together?
Can we have peace between the winning and losing ideas?
Or maybe the winning or losing idea does not exist in the ideal world?
Or perhaps the idea of an ideal world is only describing an idea of direction
An idea with an infinite search
That can never be reached
And remain the form of an idea

4.      Slow
Slow is a temple of freezing air
Nothing happens
But wishful thinking
Yes, it’s slow
Like a sundial revolving along with the Sun
The shadow doesn't seem to move at all
Not happening, not ready
Gradually out dated
But the time on the dial didn't change
No wrong done
As we allow it
Because the notice came slowly
The decision came out not comparably quick
Soon we all lose velocity
Stand idle
Sit at ease
Sing in slow tempo
Let up the busy dreams
Time is limited
As we are limited
Soon! can never be reached


note: the thoughts didn't end here but the month had passed, so it is.

不求甚解的真相


多數人用這張嘴一次只能發出一個聲音
文字更是一串一串地傳遞一個一個的訊息

從小我們被訓練的加強練習"專心"
不要一心二用...
另外, 我們被用同樣的標準來評分比較
如同考試每個題目都有標準答案
對就是對, 錯就是錯

有時班上的學號按名次排列
所有的人, 所有的事都希望可以一字排開
大夥都知道自己的位置
好不方便!!

大多時候我們都不能質疑老師
或是得非常小心的表示不懂
確定老師再說一遍時還是同樣的"道理"
為什麼有的老師按身高排座位
有的老師依名次排座位
"座位"這樣的事也許沒那麼嚴重
而必需要一個統一與最好的做法
老師們也許是遵照某個教戰手則
也許只是學習他們的老師
尤其是當一人得面對眾多人時
怕是措手不及捉襟見軸
先準備好作法與答案
所以事情不准有疑問,
要不只得把問題當耳邊風
或敦請大家依循課本..
還有疑問就是不守規矩
而不守規矩的是壞學生...
.
一個人做事的習慣, 思考的邏輯
一點一滴地就這樣被養成了
守規矩的"人云亦云" 是一種生活應對的容易法則!

"不求甚解" 是說一個人馬虎, 事情不追根究柢
還是說一個人隨和, 事情不追根究柢
或兩者皆是
所以隨和的人也就都馬虎起來了?

陶淵明說這話時, 或許講的是不拘泥字句的表象
更在乎意會的境界
但是, 課本! 背! 公式!背!
拘泥的正是字句的表象而不是意會的境界
推崇陶淵明的老師可不推崇五柳先生的讀書方法
如法炮製的同學
若能浮沉於及格邊緣就挺幸運的了

"標準"存在於"人云亦云"的操作守則中
但"沒有單一標準"也存在於同樣的操作守則
要能靈活應用的人就能夠游刃有餘
(拿把刀揮灑自如到底是一種如何的讚美?)
就如同不求甚解一樣
當話說起來模稜兩可的時候一切依循課本
課本沒說的不會考, 深究是找麻煩的壞學生!

課本是誰編的啊?
如果大家都是這樣子被教育下來的
我們該如何信任編課本的人?

語言與文字都在一種線性化的結構底下
從小到大的教育其實是一種"基本對齊"的功能
如同指著"紅色"一起念紅色
不管每個人眼裡確實的成像狀況
記住這個顏色叫做紅色就對了

相不相信
我們讀的東西, 理解的事情
都只是曾經, 過往, 某個人或某些人的解讀罷了
和真相無關
和真理無關

斷章取義的
以偏概全的
以訛傳訛的
指鹿為馬的
比比皆是

尤其是被媒體鍛鍊的現代人
不被氣壯似乎理就直的人云亦云吞噬也太難了

看到險狀的人請舉手
