Truth

 " What we want to know about Truth?","why we wanna know about the Truth?" hm, this is a question that I often ask myself and my senior. Sometimes we do discuss this problem in yc session. Well, often I always having the conflict with my senior who is studying Journalism (while I am studying Public relations) about the point of view regarding this issue.
 
  Ya, ya ya.. the Truth is very important . Seems,we as a human being, we really curious to know the Truth. We find for the Truth of every incident that happen around us, the Truth of everything, the Truth of the universe as well. By the way, do we really think of why we are so wonder and excited to the Truth that we want to know?

  My senior told me this " We have the right to know the Truth. Why we want to hide all the Truth under the carpet when we are facing the crisis or dilemma? It doesn't make sense. The crisis is not going to be solve. By revealing the Truth, people around us may give us the appropriate solution to solve the problem. Isn't it good?" This is what my senior share with me when we are discussing about the politicians that always like to hide the Truth to the public. She believe that the elite group in the public may suggest some concrete ideas to solve the crisis.


  Ya, she is right with her point of view (probably, this is what we heard from the point of view as a journalist). Anyway, I would like to question her a situation. There are how many percent of elite group among the public? As we know , the percentage of the elite group among the public is small. How would it happen if the truth will cause a big impact to the public, We scared them by the Truth that we know? It is gonna be better if we reveal it out?

  Let me give an example. In the movie of 2012, what would it happened if all the presidents and prime ministers to tell their countries that they are facing the dilemma that they were ever have? Before we(leaders) start to do anythings about the truth, we actually scaring all the people with this Truth. Everyone would be crazy at the moment they discovered the Truth. Ya, perhaps we have the right to know the truth, but the timing really play an important role in this kind of situation.

  In relationship, everyone would think that honesty really play an important role. We have to be honest and responsible with what we said. I do agree with that statement. At the same times, I don't think it is apply to every situation that we met.

  My mum told me that, actually my grandpa own another family with another "wife". His children is as old as my mum. My mum just discovered the truth when she reveal it to me.She was so angry with my grandparents. She could not accept that my grandpa betray them by owning another families at the same time, my grandma remain silence for years although she know the truth. Yup, this is the situation. Does the truth brings any meaning when it started to spoil the joy of the family? I think I would understand my grandma. The joy of the family and a healthy growing environment for the children  is much much more important than the truth. I told my mum the same things. Recent years, we having dinner together with the others family member of my grandpa. We do enjoy the joy now :)

  I think truth do brings a lot of meaning to everyone. Anyway, revealing the truth really depends on the situation that we are facing. I would say timing is very important when revealing the truth. It is good to just keep the truth in our heart sometimes.

尊重

  从有记忆以来，就记得身边的长辈一直在教导我们什么是尊重。尊重别人是一种礼貌，一种家教，一种不能被忽略的一堂课。。是的，应该没有人会反对或不认同。但是，今天突然问了自己一个这样的问题：大家常常都说要尊重别人，那自己呢？我们是否学习过怎么尊重自己了呢？

  我们常常都会对自己的生活感到抱怨，“我的生活不应该如此的”，“我为什么要这么做呢？”，“这里有什么好？”我们有着太多的不满，太多的抱怨，为自己所面对的，所决定的感到后悔。

  好几次，碰到校园里的同学，都会听到他们说：我怎么会来到这鸟不生蛋的地方呢？对于自己所处在的地方，感到非常的不满意。或许，这与他们所期盼的大学生涯有太大的落差了吧！

  当初作了一个这样的决定，或许是比不得已的吧，“那不是我自愿的，难道不可以抱怨一下吗？”　是的，或许您认为那不是“我做的决定”，为什么你要接受呢？

  我并不是想说我们没有抱怨的权利与资格，而是在抱怨的背后，我们是否有接受我们自己所作的决定呢？要记得，在当下，那是我们认为最好的决定了。或许是逼不得已，但那时最适当的决定了。

  尊重自己当下所作的决定，我们不应该批评自己，贬低自己的，那不但是在打击自己的尊严，更像在把自己批得一文不值。若我们不懂得尊重自己所作的决定，尊重自己，那我们有资格要求别人尊重我们吗？我觉得那是缺乏说服力的。

  今天在与回家的路上，有了平时不会有的思考空间，对于尊重，我有了自己的诠释。至少这一刻，我开始体会到怎么去尊重自己了。在我心里，每一个人都是价值的，值得被尊重的。而今天，我终于发现到自己的价值了，也学习着怎么尊重自己了。

  尊重自己等于认同自己，认同生命，更尊重生命，尊重自己的生命。
