關於我自己

我的相片
在時代夾縫中成長,經歷過難以想像的艱辛歲月,見證了半世紀的風雲,進入過色彩絢爛的古代文化世界,遨遊過西方廣闊的思想天地,宇宙六合,俱在心靈重現宏偉的圖景。一生堅守的信念,源自內心深處:確信愛與自由,比一切重要。自由,是精神超越的必要條件。愛,不論愛人與被愛,生命才顯示色彩。沒有愛與自由,漆黑一片,生不如死。一生未能忘懷的,是托爾斯泰的《戰爭與和平》。一生的摯愛,永遠埋在心底。一生追求的,是天上的雲彩。 Living in continuously changing times, I have been through a bitter period of life. I have seen the changes that went through in this century. I have entered into the magnificent world of Chinese Classic and Literature, and I have traveled through the plains of the West in my heart, this beauty is once again reborn. My principles that I bear in mind every moment comes from within my heart: the power of love and freedom are most important and towers over the other things in life. Freedom is state of mind which we all have to overcome. Love - no matter if you are being love or in love, the world seems much brighter, happier. Without love and freedom, life would be like blackness, living as though dead. One of life's most memorable moments was when I read Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace. The person I love most in this world would always be there, deep down in my heart. Chasing after those moments in life, is like chasing the clouds that drift across our skies.

讀甚麼書?


歷遍天下,唯獨臺灣空港品味超凡。洗手間當眼處,鼓勵讀書。一看這則告示,文明的品味豐富了,智慧自覺不低,公德心更不在話下。於是小解的地方也乾淨頂透,不必動輒處罰如新加坡。這就是教化。
書,古人至重視。古人所稱讀書,一定指典籍。有機會讀,是莫大的幸福。修身、齊家、治國以至平天下,都屬讀書之事。標榜智慧的泉源是讀書,如果身在古代,是至言,是真理。
但當前所見的書,充斥商場書肆,奪目裝潢,加上商業抄作,與電玩商品沒多少分別。在書店裏尋求典籍,笑話一場。商炒文字的結集,根本侮辱了「書」的美名。洗手間負責人不敢說「讀書」,用「閱讀」,退而求其次,實實在在有識見。
如果意不在消磨生命、耗費青春,便老老實實讀書。不徒是閱讀,而必須要苦讀,一字一句讀,從頭到尾讀;口誦之後,繼之以抄寫。存心化性,氣質隨之而醇厚,精神因之而朗清,眼界以之而高曠,智慧為之圓通。讀書在保存與提昇自己,功夫是如此來,稱為鈍學累功。
否則,便溺一堆,何足以增智慧?
