9/10犹他枪击事件---- 我小儿这样的“普通”的青年,如是看如是说

(2025-09-11 04:57:54) 下一个

昨天一天我非常忙,早上的诊疗从 8 点开始,差不多六点半后才回家。晚餐后,又加了一场在线的,工作到 8:30pm. 9 场诊疗。中间有午餐休息。没有办法,谁让我执着地要有周四、周五的自由时光呢。

晚上很早就睡下了。今天早上约五点来钟醒来。第一时间去看小儿昨晚的视频分享。我知道,他一定会出一篇,但我没有想到的是,我的小儿,会对社会公共事件,发表自己的看法。这在以前,是从来没有过的。

昨天发生在犹他的枪击事件,我休息时间有短暂看到,但实在来不及反应。可小儿的分享,令我不仅欣慰,更是心动。虽然说,他的成长过程,我是很少灌输思想的,这是我最不屑的事情。我不希望我的孩子,成为我的复制品或是传声机。不过,他的确知道,我来美国,是来投奔自由的。我离开中国,不是我不爱她,是我对她的过往历史,心存恐惧。他曾经非常不理解,他问过我,你以为美国就没有问题吗?我说,在我心目中,美国是这个星球,相对美好的存在,也是力量和希望所在。当然,这只是我的看法,我希望你去追寻你自己的。

昨天,我的孩子给出了漂亮的答案。我了解他,他同样不是追求存在感的人。他足够自信和笃定,他的话,一定是他最真实的内心。我根据视频,一句句敲打出来, 和你分享。我的确很为他骄傲,他没有一心只读圣贤书。我更是为他骄傲,他敢于对这个世界,说出他的话语。

“A certain event happened today that I don’t think I really need to describe. But I’m not here to offer my condolences to their family, or express my opinion on the situation. I’m just here to say that I am genuinely disgusted at like the response to this situation. And I think I’ve lost like my last like shred of hope for humanity. Whenever I open social media today, I would see plenty of people going like, oh, you know, he deserved it or like he kind of had it coming to him or even worse like I’m happy that he died. 

That’s just like absolutely insane that people are so into the rabbit hole of their political beliefs that they believe that it is okay or even a good thing for someone to die for thinking a way for a way that is different than them. I don’t care how harmful the beliefs are that is a core tenant of our American identity to be able to believe and speak about anything that we said.  

And as soon as we normalize that we can use violence to solve an issue which truly is just someone thinking and acting differently from you. Then this is just gonna be a deadly rabbit hole that we cannot escape. 

The problem is right now how seemly a majority of people are unable to discern their political views from the fact that we are one country. And even beyond that one world and one like race. 

If you are one of those people who is like who genuinely sees a member of the enemy political party or someone in the general opposition as an enemy and like a threat, then you should definitely look like deep into yourself,  and realize that there is an issue that people can have different beliefs and still function together as a society and get along and just have peace. 

But when all that’s done is done, if you first instinct in the situation was to point fingers at one group or another, go get some help. ”

我也让 ChatGPT,中文翻译如下:

“今天发生了一件事,我觉得没必要具体描述。但我不是来对他的家人表示哀悼,也不是来发表我对这件事的看法。我只是想说,我对人们的反应感到由衷的恶心。可以说,我最后一丝对人类的希望也彻底消失了。今天一打开社交媒体,我就看到大量的人在说:“哦,他活该”、“这是报应”,甚至更糟的是,“我很高兴他死了”。

这简直是荒谬至极。人们因为沉迷于自己的政治信念,就认为别人因持有不同的想法而死是可以接受的,甚至是好事。我不在乎这些信念有多么有害,但美国身份的核心价值之一,就是每个人都能自由地去相信、去表达。

一旦我们把“用暴力解决分歧”——哪怕仅仅是因为别人思想或行为不同——变成一种常态,那么这将是一个致命的深渊,我们将无法逃脱。

问题在于,现在似乎有相当一部分人,已经无法分辨自己的政治立场与更大的事实:我们是一个国家,更是一个世界,同一个人类。

如果你真的是那种,把政治对手或者持不同意见的人当作敌人、当作威胁的人,那么你必须深刻地反思:人类完全可以在持有不同信念的同时,依然共同生活、相互理解、保持和平。

但如果在这一切发生之后,你的第一反应是去指责某个群体,那么,你真正需要的不是宣泄,而是帮助。“

我和小儿的观点完全一致。如同有同学说,不喜欢犹太人一样,是的,你可以不喜欢犹太人,但你无权支持任何恐怖组织,诸如纳粹,诸如哈马斯去屠杀犹太人,这就是邪恶!如果你支持或是理解哈马斯或是纳粹,认为犹太人该死,不是这个世界出了问题,而是你自身出了问题,如我的小儿言,需要帮助的人是你。

小儿刚刚 18 岁,他能有如是的深度,来看待这个世界,我实在是为他骄傲。他的万卷书果真没有白读,虽然没有把他送进顶尖大学,但确保了,他始终走在正确的人生之路上。而后者,更是如今的我最在意的。

我爱你,亲爱的孩子!你知道,作为妈妈,我是多么地为你骄傲,Always!

很有深度思考能力的青年才俊,赞!

In particular, this is very insightful:

“ And as soon as we normalize that we can use violence to solve an issue which truly is just someone thinking and acting differently from you. Then this is just gonna be a deadly rabbit hole that we cannot escape. ”

Oasisflying 回复 悄悄话 我同在朋友圈分享了,我的大儿的回复令我心动。他说,他昨晚看 Charlie 的 过往视频看到深夜,本想和弟弟分享。他在 Kirk 身上看到了一些和弟弟的共同点。Charlie 的离世,不仅是美国的损失,更是人类文明的损失。是的,美国的社会也病了,我们更能做的,是反思自身。

Do Better. RIP Charlie Kirk.
