Reflections on The Little Prince/ 金陽

Reflections on The Little Prince

基礎英文作文 1Bb 金陽

Although I’ve heard of the book a long time ago, I never really pick it up and read it or even try to understand what the book is about until recently. I’m glad I have the chance to read this amazing piece of work which seems like a children’s bed time story at the first glance of its cover. Maybe I’m started to becoming like the grown-ups, always judging things from its cover with the moral standards.

Before I started to get into this book, I thought it might just be another cheap literature until some of the words really hit me hard. It’s a strange feeling, but all the sudden I felt somewhat ashamed by my ignorance. It’s funny to say but The Little Prince had officially become one of my favorites out of all the books I’ve read.

There is no fancy choice of words or sophisticated plot in this book but simple dialogues. I was impressed by how simple and understandable this book is yet it has the power to get people thinking. I think the reason why I like this book is because I can relate myself to the author and the little prince.

    Sometimes I found myself caught in the middle their conversation and I would stop for a while and examine myself from the inside. I often find the satirical comments given by the little prince in a rather childish tone are sentimental, because it speaks the truth through a naïve mouth.

審判使生命有意義/ 柯志明

審判使生命有意義

柯志明

按著定命，人人都有一死，死後且有審判。（來9:27）

    1.臺灣是個罪惡的島國，充滿假神、偶像、迷信、欺騙、偷盗、搶奪、貪婪、淫亂、姦淫、無情、忘恩、仇恨、毀謗、背叛、出賣、爭鬥、陷害、凶殺，以及對罪的輕忽與健忘。所有臺灣人都有分於這些罪惡，無人可置身事外。哪一個臺灣人能數算這島國的罪惡？姑不論隱藏的，公開顯明的都將細數不完。過去單純樸實的時代，罪惡猶能令人心驚膽顫，心生警惕，但生活複雜繁忙、自由解放而慾樂不息的今日，甚至極殘暴的凶殺案也不過是眾多資訊串中的一條「訊息」，很快就消失不見，被人遺忘。罪人的特質之一就是對罪無感、輕忽與健忘，今日的臺灣人就是如此。

    然而，罪惡不會自動消失，時間不會自然平反冤屈，歷史無法安撫冤魂，死亡也阻隔不了審判；每個罪人都要被追究、審判、清算與報應，執政掌權的如此，平民百姓也是如此。上帝必審判各人。臺灣人當然逃脫不了上帝的審判，一個也逃不掉！這是基督信仰的立場。

    言及上帝的審判不是恐嚇，也不是對現狀無奈的「宗教幻想」，更不是對公義絶望，而是要宣告：這是上帝的世界，人不得無法無天；公義終必如明光照耀，生命終將充滿意義，所有因罪惡而憂傷失望者與受害者都當受鼓勵與安慰。無論這世界如何罪惡、不義、荒謬、悲慘，都無法否定：道德有意義，為義受逼迫有意義，堅持良善有意義，追求真理、仁義、聖潔的生命有意義，因為有上帝的審判。對，因為有上帝的審判，所以生命不但有意義......（繼續閱讀）文章出處連結
