不灭的烛光
夜色弥漫着世界,而人们也已经习惯这样的夜色——冷漠、自私、胆小、势利,对于这种习惯一般称之为麻木。
也有少许尚未麻木的人,却没有勇气去改变这片夜色。或许,害怕光的刺眼;或者,害怕发光的同时燃烧了自己;或许,害怕黑暗的吞噬……
第一根蜡烛勇敢的点燃了自己——“Think of an idea to change our world and put it into action!”
Trevor是他的名字,七年级,有个酗酒的母亲,严格来说,没有父亲。另外,还有个向往光明却又不敢改变自己去面对光明的老师Simonet。正是这个老师,布置给他这个作业——改变世界。
他开始发光,然而,对于整个夜空,他这一点烛光又是何等渺小,何等微弱!
要改变世界,要驱除黑暗,光一根蜡烛的光是不够的。
于是,他开始找寻别的蜡烛,并用自己正在燃烧的火光将他们点燃。
“If someone does you a big favour,don't pay it back,pay it forward”
他要把光传给三个人,并不要这三个人回报他同样的光,而是要这三个人再把光传给更多的人,同时让更多的人也发光。
Simonet告诉Trevor
这几日情绪不那么高,似乎自己现在过得有点浑浑噩噩,应该去做点什么更有意义的事。
想起了去年在电视上看的一部电影Pay it forward (是在香港的电视台上看的,翻译为“拉阔爱的人”,在网上查了一下,这边翻译为“爱心预支”或者“浮世因缘”,台湾翻译为“让爱传出去”)。
片子讲述一个小男孩,跟母亲一起住,日子有点艰难。他有个了想法:如果我帮助三个人,这三个人每人再去帮助三个人,以此类推,这个世界不就很美好了吗?后来这个孩子去做了,努力地为这个世界带来一点阳光。
后来Pay It Forward这个运动逐渐得到推广,记者寻访到他,他淡淡而又腼腆地讲述着这个理想。
然后下楼来,碰到两个小混混欺负他的同学,就去帮忙,小混混掏出刀子,捅死了他...
一直想不明白为什么片子后面会安排这样一个结局。
不管是先有鸡还是先有蛋,除了电影,现在也有Pay It Forward运动和Pay It Forward基金会。
I was impressed by Trevor. Although he's just a seventh grade boy, he reminds me of person's growing up is a lonely process or progress. On most people's mind, they look forward a better life. Especially, for children, they do believe there is a beautiful world and they will have a better and better life, a wonderful marriage, a peaceful circumstance, the best parents. However as they are growing up, things seem to change or they just find the truth that the world is not prefect as they thought, life is not just full of happiness; marriage may not sweet; parents are not strong as we thought; people around you may be indifferent and torture you. I think most people will find that truth. There is no denying that it's disappointed. But what most people do? I think they just get used to that, that imperfect world, that disappointed world. Moreover, they become an indifferent person that
