社評1014 迎秋

迎秋

今晨推開窗外之門，一陣微冷風吹送胸前。後院已經散落了些落葉，秋天終於來了。樹林開始呈現紅色橙色和棕色，湛藍天空溫暖柔和的陽光，令人有詳和放鬆之感受。

世界許多地區農夫們正在迎接秋收之季節，他們的努力鋪遍了大地豐盈之果實和金黃的稻穗，让我們再次享受農民及上天之賜與。但是我們看看中東加薩走廊數以百萬計之難民正在逃亡走頭無路，戰爭帶來之陳屍遍地，烏克蘭之農地夷為平地，他們在地球另一面正遭受苦痛和掙扎。

數千年來，居住在地球上之人数，一直因為戰爭、宗教、政體和生存在相互競爭殘殺，對於宗教家之期待和人性之善良面可謂消失殆盡。執政者利用民粹鞏固政權
，上𠆤月我們走訪了新加坡，這𠆤人口華族佔百分之七十的城市國家，其他印度及馬來人是少數，他們以英文為第一文字，各族融和相處，經濟鼎盛，躍居世界前三名。新加坡太了不起了，他們也是百分之一百華裔血統，這批華夏子孫之智慧值得世界各國成為學習之榜樣。

一葉知秋，我們老祖宗給了我們太多的提示，如何找到平靜和平和滿足，需要極大之犧牲和努力，我們必須思考反省和規划撑握未來。

Welcome To Autumn

This morning, the door of a window was open. A gentle, cool wind blew across my chest. Some fallen leaves were scattered around in our backyard. Autumn had finally come. The trees began to show their hues of red, orange and brown. The warm and soft sunshine beaming across the blue sky made people feel more relaxed.

Farmers in many parts of the world are welcoming the autumn harvest season. Their efforts have spread the abundant fruits and golden rice. Once again, we enjoyed the gifts of the farmers and heaven.

But let’s remember that millions of refugees in the Middle East and Ukraine are trying to flee their lands, but have no way out. The dead bodies brought about by the war are everywhere. They are painful and hopeless reminders of these ongoing conflicts.

For thousands of years of history, we as human beings living on the earth have been killing each other because of war, religion and politics. The rulers use controlled populism to consolidate their power.

Last month we visited Singapore, a city-nation where Chinese descendants are 70%, while the rest of the population are Indian and Malays. All the ethnic groups get along very well and the economy is prosperous and ranks high among the top three economies of the world. Singapore is star role model for the rest of the world. How can we also use our wisdom that may require sacrifice to manage our own country?

In this amazing season, all of us need to think about personal reflection and make plans toward a new future.
