尊重

有不少朋友都說要移民,因為香港的情況令人擔憂,不單單是政治方面,就連民生及經濟都不很理想。我認識的朋友中,有一對夫婦及他們的孩子今年年中便會離開。

香港真的變了,以往的香港人不會這樣零包容。現時若有人的政見不同,就會被指責,更嚴重的是人身攻擊。其實有誰會一定跟你的意見一樣呢?不一樣又如何?就要被排擠?甚至被除掉?這是甚麼世界?是野獸的世界?人不是有文明、有文化的嗎?「你跟我不一樣,我便要殺了你。」這種心態是人類應該有的嗎?人類似乎在退步中。

這個世界上,每一個人都是獨特的,無論是外表或是思想。所以若要別人跟你一樣,是不設實際的,也是野蠻的、專制的。

彼此尊重,是人與人相處最基本應有的原則。

Memories

The world has changed a lot these years.  In the past, I received "real" birthday cards on my birthday. Now I got mostly WhatsApp messages on my birthday.  Seems that people no longer write with pens and do not like to post letters or cards through the post office.

On the one hand, this is environmental friendly and I do not need to find space to store these real cards and letters.  But on the other hand, I find less and less good handwritings.  And these e-messages will be forgotten sooner or later as we receive so many messages every day.  We cannot put these messages in a box so that we can take them out to read from time to time.  Real cards and handwritings give you memories.  Memories are precious.

I love handwriting, letters, cards, and memories.
