On Driving

Why does driving bring out the worst in people?

For example, during one particularly hot day in July in the early morning hours, an elderly female wandered onto the freeway and was struck by a vehicle traveling over 60 miles per hour. As you can imagine, she was killed instantly. The freeway was quickly shut down (at 6 a.m.) and the accident reconstruction began (which is procedural and not my nor my supervisor’s decision). This usually takes between two and four hours. You would not believe the number of people, who, because they were forced to exit the freeway after hours in gridlock, felt it prudent and necessary to yell obscenities at the lowly police officer. As if it was my fault. All this while he is standing next to a blood-soaked white sheet.

Read it all here.

I may add: How can you tell someone is a redeemed Christian filled with grace?

Look at the way he drives.

尋真

近日一段關於神存在與否的短片在網上流傳,片段中的小學生力證態度傲慢的老師,他否定神存在的論點站不住腳。

在短片最後,列出那小學生的名字,正是著名的理論物理學家,愛因斯坦(Albert Einstein)。

我想說的是:這短片的內容,並小學生是〔將來的〕大科學家愛因斯坦,都是杜撰的。

短片內容的論點,不論是那老師的,和那小學生的,其實在更遠古的晢學討論中,已出現過。

另外,原版短片最後,並沒有愛因斯坦的名字。這是在2004年後,被人加上的

你可以因片中小朋友的說話大拍手掌,或者會因為那傲慢的老師被駁,而大快人心,但請你不要誤會這是真人真事。

你問:這又何妨呢?

我說了無數次,作為基督徒,我們是尋真的人。「真」當然也包括事情的真相。

而這,並不是真相。

這樣盜用已故名人的口,來支持某種觀點,

就算觀點對,也是錯。

希望各位信徒明白,

也希望你們能擇善固執。

Power of Love vs. Love of Power

We are called to do things which people will see as subversive. And in a sense, they’ve all been right. Because the power of love, which is what the Gospel is all about, always challenges the love of power, which is what Caesar is all about.

一塊肉

尋找愛情,應該先由拒絕再做迴轉壽司輸送帶上的一塊肉開始。
