沒有值得表揚的德育文化

還記得小學的一次開放日,每名小孩各獲發一張印上「德智體群美」的白卡紙。德,品德也〜智,智力也〜體,體能也〜群,群體也〜美,藝術也。只要集齊五個印章,就能拿到紀念品一份。

昨天和孩子們三囗子往松戶的祭典逛了一逛,一如往昔,開心的永遠是小孩子的童真。街道上夾雜著大大小小的歡笑聲,可能是學琴的關係,女兒喊著要看那邊廂的演奏。正停下來全神貫注欣賞那三人組大學生表演的時候,一位日本婆婆行近我旁,分咐我把手中握著的兩隻空水杯及數支串子,放入她的塑膠袋中。經她三番四次的游説,我「無奈地」把手中的的垃圾全放進袋中,還來不及連聲多謝的同時,她已急不及代去尋找她的垃圾,悄悄地消失於人海當中。不要誤以為她是清理垃圾的人員,她,只是和我一樣的參加者。

在這個公園沒有垃圾桶、祭典後地上不留一杯、一紙的國度,這事不值得表揚,這𥚃時平常事。

小時候那「德智體群美」的紀念品,原來已永留心中。

My other prospective of "Life is good"

Life is good when you giving up your seat to a senior on a train; not taking up a seat when you are dead tired. Life is good when you having enough to eat; not having enough to waste. Life is good when you chit-chating with me over dinner; not playing with your smartphone. Life is good when you spending weekend with kids; not watching your favorite sport. Life is good when you putting away your hatred, not planning for a revenge. Life is good when you picking up the most unpleasant appearance banana over the counter; not ransacking for the freshest one. Life is good when you can plant you own food; speak up your own mind; volunteer for the needer; give up driving for a day of two to public transit.

When you feel your life isn't good enough, please try to look outside the box!

In my life

In my life, 
I have fallen, I haven't achieved,
I have failed, I have won ,
I have depressed, I have succeed, 
I have lost, l have lived,
I have earned, I have wasted,
I have shared, I have gained,
I have never regretted, because most of time, there are no way back.

人的一生不等同工作

除了我們今天所認識的生活形態之外,就沒有其它的生活形態嗎? 有人終生研究南美的亞馬遜森林之生態,與森林為伴。有人長年居於宇宙的邊緣,去追求外太空的奧秘。有人喜歡擧山涉水,最終葬生於山峰海洋。有人放棄高身厚職,到落後山區行醫施藥。有人深入窮鄉辟壤,修橋任教,培育未來。有周遊列國。有隱居田園。有醉生書畫。有沉迷花草。亦有以洋舤為樂。亦有一生專注㙯術。有更甚放棄六根,誠心向佛。生存不是為了工作,也不是為了買樓,更不是為了發達,而是為了滿足心靈上的理想及目標。若人的一生就等同工作,可悲! 可悲! 多環保,多素食,多種植,多關懷,多分享,這才是真正的快樂,真正的人生。

Homosexuality Morals

Homosexual, carnivorism, fideism and all forms of discrimination have been causing conflicts among peoples and nations for decades over decades. As a mankind, we can't disagree that we all have at least certain sins and flaws. We are not prefect. There are no standing points for us to point our fingers to someones' believes and life styles. However, when that -ism crossed the line of the others and against our majority morals and ethicals standard, I don't agree. There are only one group of people that we can force them our believes- our own children. If I am a Buddhism, I would of cause bring them to temples once awhile to workship. As if I am a Christian, I would bring them to churches. If I am a meat-eater, I will prepare the most delicious and healthiest meals for them. As if I am vegan, they wouldn't have chance even taste the meat not until grow up and explorer the world with their own hands. The morals and ethicals of homosexuality are different than a believe or a living style. I know homosexuality can be inborn or acquired. However, we all came from a parents- a single male and a single female; we can't change that. I have friends are lesbian and gay, I don't discriminate them doesn't mean I encourage homosexuality. Especially when it comes to raising a child. Who is the child's father? Who is the child's mother? What is the definition of intercourse? How they go through their opposite sex child puberty?  How to define marriage? How to define family role in terms of our modern society? How to define pervert? I asked the last question because as a man, I simply can't step in any women restroom and peek; but, a homosexual man that has sexual interest for man can legally step in a men restroom and peek. That just isn't right? If I suggest that all homosexual individual should voluntarily go into the toilet room when he or she going to the public restroom, people must consider I am discrimination. As long homosexual couples live their own live and happy after. I don't against homosexuality.

Journal to go vegan

Recently, watched some cbs and youtube videos, read some yahoo and times news, subscripted some new facebook groups, followed some new twitter accounts, browsed some website. Thanks for thinktank and all other advocators, I finally realized we as human are extremely cruel and dangerous, to born as one specie and ashamed as that specie is very mixed up feeling however, to stop all the hunger and all the animals cruelty, I am taking my first step, with one step a time  toward my vegan journal.


Starting with this famous southern Chinese tomato potato soup with mushroom. cut all ingredients in about 2cmx2cm, then boil it for about 2 hours or put it inside a vacuum pot after boiled, seasoning with salt only, it is yummy for sure.

兒子3歲至39歲

媽媽,

兒子
3歳,上幼稚園,哭著要媽媽抱。

6歳,上小學,第一天哭著要回家。

9歳,忘記交功課,哭著撥電話給媽媽。

12歲,千方百計説服媽媽讓他出外踏單車。

15歲,凡事親力親為,母親亦敵亦友。

18歳,吃第一頓由兒子付錢的晚飯,甜在心頭。

21歳,回家吃晚飯是天大喜訉。

24歲,見朋友多過見家人。

27歳,流離四海,尋找自己夢想,但家中筷子卻長留。

30歲,為錯失了機會而奮鬥。父母卻天天掛忘,整日等著那不動一聲的電話。

33歲,在國外成家立室,只望媳婦從此能代替自己照顧兒子。

36歲,第一次抱孫,但又再次擔心兒子能否應付得來。

39歲,孩子們都長大了,老伴也離開了,面對空空的房間,往事就像一縷輕煙似的在眼前若即若離,眼涙一滴一滴地流下來。

42歳…
