昨天, 很偶然情況下的一個飯局,朋友們談到了最近台灣的政治街頭運動.然而身處在海外的我,原本是非常不感興趣—張銘清被推倒的事件和陳雲林的訪台,因為本身認為那已經無意義而且也改變不了現在台灣社會,畢竟台灣政治議題對於台灣社會是最沒意義的事(no benefit).可昰,從朋友口中聽到了令我羞恥的一件事.她現在住Home stay的家庭中, Home爸拿著報紙(還特別剪下來)詢問她”台灣街頭運動的事”,當下她覺得非常羞愧.我用”街頭運動”來形容是美化了她們的對話,圖片和文字新聞讓她不知如何應對.當下,她臉一沉的回房間.話題後來一轉,又談到先前張銘清摔倒的事情;朋友們的談話之下,我才知道這上了Australia的新聞,越講大家越覺得羞愧,因為在國外見到的這些新聞,都不是對台灣的名聲(或稱之為中華民國)有不好的影響.事後讓我反覆思良的昰,假如有一個外國人拿著剪報詢問我這些事時,我該如何回答呢!?
可能是學商的關係,對現在台灣社會而言,政治運動或政治訴求的行為,個人認為是非常沒有經濟效益的.更何況全世界正面對著1930s年以來最嚴重的經濟困境.其實,台灣現在正面臨最嚴厲的考驗.假如同胞們能利用此時的艱難而光耀世界.無疑是”時勢造英雄”.然而,目前台灣社會卻並沒有掌握這個時機.我知道一件事,有一批優秀的企業家和平凡的小民,努力地創造自己的最高價值和推進社會.然而,這些人總有一天會老、會累;她們就像在談一段無怨無悔的愛情,可有一天他們會因為沒有結果的愛而離開~~~.
講到最後,朋友們對於國民黨的形象行銷和溝通能力非常失望.因為政府並沒有在第一時間和抗議民眾溝通”.正面面對抗議民眾”,是扭轉兩岸負面看法的最佳選擇;就算政府代表被丟雞蛋或被打,相較之下都是做球給政府,增加好形象的機會.但是，現實是鎮暴警察面對群眾.在這件事的處理上,似乎政府沒智囊了.
民進黨是最被讚許的,因為該黨花了最少的經濟成本,讓自己和台灣上了國際新聞.Australia新聞還特別指出DPP(民進黨),一時間我還認為它成為味道最好的DDT(殺蟲劑).
整段故事下來,最大的贏家是中共.因為它釋出了國際所謂的”善意”和”正向溝通”.兩岸的對談,早已不再局現兩岸的戰略思想,而是深層的國際棋局.當類似的情形越來越多(暴動和抗爭),國際的言論會越來越導向中共.尤其是現今世界經濟需要中共大力支持;再加上,美國和新俄羅斯的關係不斷的退化,中共更處於一個有利的態勢.1960s年時中華民國(台灣)被美國背叛一次.未來有可能會再演一次.

價值(Value)
From http://e105026waylong.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!CF9C382116F8F8B4!496.entry
紛紛櫻下雪，春風送寒夜。
荷蓮流浮水，夏日聽蛙闕。
紅楓落飄斜，秋意含花謝。
枯枝映冷月，冬梅年末接。
整個四季流轉不停，經歷寒暑。春天是孕育；夏天是成長；秋天是凋零；冬天是停止。每一個季節，反映一種生命態度，表現一種人生價值。然而，並沒有人能永遠只經歷同一個季節，並沒有人能只表現一種人生價值。四季真正的價值正是-「春夏秋冬必須輪轉」；當經歷過四季之後，其價值才會真正表現出來。沒經過冬天，哪知到夏天的炎熱；沒經過秋天，哪知到春天的舒爽。
觀賞煙火，其中並不是單看煙火。擁擠的人潮，喧鬧的歡笑，驚訝的體驗；更重要的昰，誰站在身旁。觀賞煙火是抓住絢燦的記憶瞬間，是整體經驗的感覺。「價值」正是整體的體驗。
Cherry blossoms are snowing; the spring’s wind blows out the winter night.
The lotus is floating on the pound; the frog in the summer son is noisy.
Red leaves of the maple are falling; the autumn flowers are fading (away).
The litterfall is in the cold moon; the plum blossom in the winter catches the end of the year.
All four seasons are ongoing and subsequent no matter how many years are. The spring means creation; the summer means growth; the autumn means fading; the winter means a rest. As one season, it can reflect a life attitude and show a life value. However, no one can stay on the one season permanently. Also, no one can live within one life value. Therefore, the true value within the four seasons is ongoing from one season to another. After the sequence of the four seasons, the whole value can be demonstrated. Before the winter comes, the summer cannot be felt hot. Before the autumn leaves, the spring cannot be felt comfortable. The feeling have to be compared and experienced in order to reveal other values.
As the fireworks, the value is not only the watching. The crowded people, the noisy laugh and an amazing feeling can be experienced. More importantly, the person who stays with you at that moment is the vital for that experience, which is the real value for that moment. Watching fireworks is to catch that shining memory at the moment. Also, the comprehensive experience of watching fireworks can be felt. The true value is that holistic process.

真相(The truth)
From http://e105026waylong.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!CF9C382116F8F8B4!491.entry
在歷史學裡，沒有所謂真實的歷史，因為閱者所讀乃書者所聞。十九世紀後的史學,重證據、重科學；史家們企圖收集許多歷史片段，重現所謂的「真相」。然而，何謂真相，何謂事實。現代歷史學家大部分都同意一件事，沒有所謂「真正歷史」和真正的「真相」，因為史家們只能呈現一部分的歷史，而非真正的全貌。人們所相信的真相也是如此；相對地，扭曲得十分嚴重，因為－人類只會把想看到的東西，當作是真相；不想聽到的東西，則全都是謊言。諷刺的說，只要說出人們想聽的話，就能夠輕易操縱人群.
所以在某一層面來說， 「真相」只在人的腦袋中！而非真實的存在!
In the historical study, the true history cannot be revealed because what people read is from what the historian writes. Since 19 century, the historical research has emphasised on the evidence and the scientific approach. The historians try to collect historical chips in order to reappear to the true history. However, what is the truth? What is the real history? The modern historians mostly agree that there is no “real” history or “truth” because they can only represent some parts of the history, not the holistic history. The truth what people believe is the common. Further, the “truth” people believe might misinterpret and misrepresent relatively because people only believe what they seek. On the other hand, the lie what people identify is what people dislike. Ironically, if some one can voice what people like and desire, people might be controlled and misled.
As the truth, it is only in the human mind, not the real existence!
