【生活札記】True Colours

一個人在描述其他人個性時,最容易將自己的性格明白地顯露出來.
A man never discloses his own character so clearly as when he describes another's.


何謂真情流露? 這鐵定是個極主觀的意象.
有人說無私的愛是真性情,那麼什麼是無私的愛呢?
上帝對世人的愛是無私的嗎? 為什麼祂要世人不能崇拜除了祂之外的神呢?
父母親對孩子的愛果真是無私的嗎? 那父母親怎不去愛別人家的小孩呢?
朋友之間的愛也是無私的嗎? 那麼朋友怎不去愛路上的陌生人呢?
以前在教會常問牧師:"神愛世人,耶穌愛我,我要如何感受到祂的愛呢?"
牧師要我跟神禱告, 他說:"神會給你見證的."
原來愛也是因對象不同而有不同的層級.

父母親會說:"我們愛你,因為你是我們的寶貝啊!"
朋友們會說:"我們愛你,因為我們的友誼啊!"
...
這些年來我有了領悟
凡從人的心裡面去發展的往往逐漸失去真實,都是"我執"所產生的假像.


然而歌頌那些主觀意象的真情流露,卻使人人陶醉.
人生是夢!
夢裡面的夢又何妨呢?


True colors
Written:Tom Kelly/Billy Steinberg

You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small

But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

Show me a smile then,
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there

And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow
