誰給自己機會


有兩個人,,他們曾經各自惹了我生氣。

本文作者 : david kwok

  ,是我的哥們,我就管住我的憤慨,心想算了罷。
,不和我同伙的,那就管它的,任著心中的憤概滋長,晝復晝、夜復夜,怨、恨和仇不斷的長著,並抓狂的想著,並潛藏著以不擇手段來施以報復的意識。
越想著,就越是罪人,理應罪有應得,我就來扮演上帝,給定罪。
罪既定,我就來扮演魔鬼,
圈套治的罪,直至欣然看到倒在我跟前。

同樣的氣、同樣的惱,因為是,我仁慈大方。
因為是,我積成恨。
我厚彼薄此,是否真的值得我如此厚待?
,又是否真的犯得我如此吝嗇?
,是否非得倒下而後快我心?
那時,我又是否會心安理得?

,不能是上帝。
,也不能是魔鬼。,到底是誰?


請來欣賞威廉·布萊克的一首詩作:

一棵毒樹 (註一)

我曾生朋友的氣,
我命令我的憤慨,它就得以平息。
我曾生仇人的氣,
我沒有理會它,我的憤慨就滋長。


我以不安灌溉它,
和不論晝夜洒以眼淚,
並以微笑日照它,
和加以溫柔的陰謀詭計。

於是它日以繼夜不斷長大,
直至它結了一顆亮麗的蘋果,
而我的仇人注視著它的異彩,
且知道是我的東西。

他偷偷進入我的園地,
正值黑夜完全掩蔽了旗竿。
翌日早晨我欣然看見,
我的仇人平躺著在樹下。


生氣,頓時可以爆發衝突。生氣,累積會成仇恨。衝突或仇恨,都可以致命,都可以遺憾終身,都是害己害人的蠢事。


人與人相處,在職場、在家庭、在學校、在愛侶、在朋友、在社會,無論在那兒,都很常碰著惹人懊惱的人和事,如何反應和對待,完全在於我們的心念,能否克制住心魔,緣繫一念。


讓我們看看專家給我們怎麼樣的成功提示(註二)每當你察覺到惱火來的時候,別馬上下意識作出敵或仇的結論,應先問自己以下四個問題:


 

一、                這惱火是否重要
二、                我的反應和感受是否適宜
三、                事態可否緩和
四、                是否值得我去考慮對方和我共覓緩和的行動?

好讓你能分析究竟是事態本身還是你的反應需要改變或調整,因為那是唯一的兩種選擇。

如果對以上四個問題任一的答案是 的話,那表示你需要調整你的態度。


反之,如果對以上四個問題任一的答案是
的話,那表示你需要想辦法改變事態本身,想想甚麼才是有效的行動,如果涉及另一人的態度,你就需要禮貌地明言你的感受。

大多時候, 的答案都有,那表示一方面你需要調整一點你的態度,而另一方面你也需要努力改變一下事態本身。


 

為了便於記取,可試記存這四個詞語:重要 - 適宜 - 緩和 - 值得


 

舉個應用例子:


一個大半夜,女兒在廚房裡煑方便麵吃,乒乒乓乓,吵醒了母親,母親跑到廚房,不耐煩的劈頭一句:”在幹嘛呢你?”

女兒馬上察覺到一股惱火往腦門衝,在未作敵意結論之前,問了自己:

一、我惱重要嗎?答案是不重要,既然不重要,那就不必那麼火。

二、 我感覺母親是敵意,這恰當嗎?不,恐怕不太恰當,是我吵醒了睡覺很淺眠的母親,我有不對的地方。

三、事態可否緩和?我想可以吧,只要我懇切些。

四、 是否值得我去考慮對方和我共覓緩和的行動?當然值得啦,他是我的母親嘛。

這樣,就硬拉回了差點衝口而出的一句:”關你甚麼事?”、、、

有時,稍作停頓,給自己機會,給自己機會認識自己,給自己機會將心比心,給自己機會多聆聽別人,給自己機會多稱讚少挑剔,給自己機會快樂些。
機會,是自己給自己的,不是別人施捨的。

A Poison Tree – William Blake

I was angry with my friend.
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe.
I told it not, my wrath did grow.

And I watered it in fears,
Night and morning with my tears;
And I sunned it with smiles,
And with soft deceitful wiles.

And it grew both day and night,
Till it bore an apple bright.
And my foe beheld it shine.
And he knew that it was mine,

And into my garden stole
When the night had veiled the pole;
In the morning glad I see
My foe outstretched beneath the tree.

I RUN - by Rosie Thomas

I run I run far from
You to the apple tree in my yard
With my dress all bundled up in my hands
Dirt on my feet I am dreaming again
I run I run I run far from
You to the lilac tree in my yard
no more swing set for the girl who is all grown up
no more tea parties parades or mothers in love

I hold my breath past the cemetery
My brother wins he can hold it much longer then me
Gravel roads make car keys rattle on steering wheels
Children and horses old barns and old automobiles

I run I run I run far from
You to the watered streets of Oregon
With a coffee cup half full in my hands
And I’m praying my savior would
Just place a gun in my hands

I run I walk I lie far from
Freaks and lying cheats on the tip of my tongue
The moon hides in the sky behind rows of tree tops
And I’m wishing I was somewhere up there
With the mermaids and stars

I run I run far from
Reality to escape who I’ve become
Insanity is close at my back
And I’m getting rather numb from the snakes
Who have blurred my vision

Because Of You Kelly Clarkson

http://www.wretch.cc/video/holygodjuses&func=single&vid=3671858

I will not make
The same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break
The way you did, you fell so hard
I've learned the hard way
To never let it get that far

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you I am afraid

I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
A smile, a laugh, every day of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with

I watched you die
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thing

Because of you
Because of you
Because of you I am afraid

Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt

Because of you I try my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you I am afraid

Because of you

我們擁有一個外表文明的身體和裝飾著漂亮文化的舉止,層層包裹著一個奇怪的靈魂,對真相它看不見,對聲音它聽不進,對故事它麻木,而對最簡單的數學它更不懂,因為直至一日,一件憾事其重創超越了千件樂事的喜悅,它才明白一大於千。

說真的. 現代社會人的心靈多少有些缺憾.
當造成家庭的功能不彰. 惡性循環下. 人的品質每況愈下.

父不父. 子不子....

宗教是否能洗滌污穢. 值得深思. 但也要想接近者才能感受得到他們的作用.
