——致墨子的一封信
尊敬的墨子:
这是两千年后的一个学生写给你的信。我不知缘何想要写信给你,只知道我因你而懂得了一个简单却又深邃的道理:仰望星空也要脚踏实地。
记得小时候,我无意间从书架的最底层摸到一本古朴的线装书,这便是我与你的第一次“邂逅”。但这第一次似乎并不大美妙,因为从你那黝黑的脸上我看不到一点情感,只有“守不竟,即赴死”的严苛与冷酷。
那时我觉得,你一定不是个有远大理想的人,一定不是个会仰望星空的人。
但终究,我没有放下这本书,而是日益被它吸引。“天下之人皆相爱,则强不执弱,众不劫寡”——书中的每一个字都散发着一股奇特的稻香。于是每每书页翻动,我便仿佛回到那个人人“交相亏贼”的纷繁乱世。
苍茫中,我看到了那塞外骑着青牛缓缓西去的老者,望天吟咏“功遂身退,天之道”;也望见那杏坛上侃侃而谈的翩翩君子,仰天大呼“天何言哉?天何言哉”;我看到了临淄稷下学宫中百家争鸣的一派繁荣,也见到了楚河上鼓盆而歌的隐士,正陶醉地“独与天地精神往来”。
终于,我一眼望到了你。你并未选择归隐,也不愿去与诸子整日无谓地论战。你只是奔波在华夏大地上,以行者的姿态现于人间,奔走疾呼,救百姓于水火,解万民之忧苦。“尽天下之卵,其石犹是也”,你是如此脚踏实地,你的脚步是如此坚实、不屈。
我终于明白,你并非不会仰望星空,你的繁星是“天下大同”。只是比起那些只知仰望星空,只能制造苍白无力的口号的其余诸子,你宁愿脚踏实地地践行自己的理想,让“兼爱”——你的这片星空划出更绚烂的光芒。所以,你总在不停地奔忙。你曾不远千里游说楚王,并“九拒鲁班攻城之机变”,拯救宋国一方百姓;你又四处奔波,“非攻”“非乐”“非命”“非儒”,为的就是切实地为这乱世提出真正的“济世良方”。你仰望星空,又总是不忘脚踏实地。因而你的脚步从不停息,你的足迹遍布神州大地。而在这浮夸虚假仍存于世的两千年后,你的脚步也越发显得坚实、有力。
原来,你的双眼永远仰望着星空;原来,你的双脚从未离开过大地!
黑衣黑发、黑眼黑面,眼望星空,脚踏大地,奔走于大地上的你,就像一道黑色的闪电,划破天际,穿透重霄,为这九州五岳点燃永不熄灭的火焰!
人类需要仰望星空,因为没有星空的照耀,我们的路不会有前方。但是,在仰望星空的时候,也不能忘了脚踏实地,为他人为社会切实地做点什么。毕竟,星空的美丽永远不属于大地,只有我们脚踏实地,才可以用自己的每一个脚印折射出星空的绚丽。
墨子,感谢你,让我明白了这简单却又深邃的道理,也感谢你让我的生命拥有了最恒久的动力。 A letter to Mo-tse
Dear Mo-tse:
This is a letter from a student two thousand years later. I do not know why I want to write to you, but I know that because of you and understand a simple but profound truth: look up to the starry sky also down to earth.
I remember when I was young, I hit the bottom of the shelf to touch a simple book, this is my first time with your "encounter". But for the first time it didn't seem to be very good, for I could not see a little emotion from your dark face, only the harsh and cruel.
At that time, I think, you must not have a lofty ideal of the people, must not be looking up at the stars.
But after all, I did not put down the book, but increasingly attracted to it. "All the people all love, strong non attachment is weak, the selloff few" -- in the book every word exudes a strange fragrance drifting. So often the pages turn, I would like to return to that everyone pay off the thief of the troubled times.
Boundless, I see that the ride cow slowly man, and chanting "the way of heaven; retire after winning merit," also saw that the elegant gentleman with Xing Tan, "shouted" heaven does not speak? Heaven does not speak; I saw Linzi in jixiaxuegong contention of a hundred schools of thought prosperity, also saw a river on the rapture of the hermit, is with "alone with the spirit world".
Finally, I look at you. You did not choose to escape, rather than go with all Zhuzi unnecessarily controversies. You just go on the land of China, to Skywalker posture presently in the world, advocate, to save people from the fire, solution of the peoples trouble. "The world's egg, its stone is also", you are so down to earth, your footsteps are so solid, unyielding.
I finally understand that you do not look up at the stars, you are the stars of the world". Just than those who know only look up at the starry sky, the rest can only make the slogan of the feeble thinkers, would you rather down-to-earth practicing my ideal, let "universal" - the sky you draw more gorgeous light. So, you always kept moving. You have to have "nine lobbying the king, and Luban refused the siege of the machine", the song save one people; you're running around, "attack" "not" music "or" non Confucianism ", as is practical for this gone forward real" prescriptions". You look up at the starry sky, and always do not forget. So your footsteps never cease, your footprints all over the land. And in the two thousand years after the exaggeration of the false still exist in the world, your footsteps are increasingly solid, powerful.
Originally, your eyes always look up at the starry sky; originally, your feet never left the earth!
Black hair, black eye black eye, looking at the sky, the earth foot, running on the earth you, like a black lightning, across the sky, through the sky lit an eternal flame for the Kyushu mountains!
People need to look up at the starry sky, because there is no starry sky, we will not have the road ahead. However, looking up at the starry sky, we can not forget the down-to-earth, for others to do something for the community. After all, the beauty of the sky will never belong to the earth, only we are down-to-earth, can use their own footprints reflect the brilliant stars.
Mo-tse, thank you, let me understand this simple but profound truth, but also thank you for my life has the most lasting power. |
