Seeking truth 心的挣扎 (45) 智慧,道德和理性在人类历史中对力量,竞争和利益的平衡
((与吴了一, 寒竹先生就“原子弹与中国”一文讨论的商榷)
How the wisdom, morality arationality in the human history work to balance power, competition and interests
(The discussion on Nuclear and China with Mr. Wu Liaoyi and Mr. Han Zhu)


但 自 在 脱 就 却 不 这 已 浪 
是 由 蓝 了 像 无 愿 是 不 迹
无 一 蓝 线 一 处 归 一 属 天
目 一 的 的 支 归 还 群 于 涯
的 一 天 风 支 宿 一 忘 中 的
地 一 上 筝 一 的 一 却 国 中
飞 一 一 一 一 群 一 来 一 国
翔 一 一 一 一 体 一 处 一 人
不归人 (A person who will not return)



 感谢寒竹先生的评论将我引入更深刻的思考,寒竹先生说;给格博参考意见中最根本的一点,就是今天国际社会并没有真正的民主平等可言,国际冲突的最终解决,不是靠说理,而是靠实力。切不可以仅仅用理想或道德来理解国际事务。很多时候,善良的愿望是无法和强力相抗衡的。

大自然(或者上帝)在造人的时候,不但给了人类在生存竞争中必须的力量,这种力量和竞争在人类生活中是主体。人类有时变得非常自私、贪婪和缺乏人性,但是大自然也给了人类智慧,道德和理性:所谓智慧就是人类在脱出小集团利益之外,对人类命运的思考;所谓道德就是人类在生存竞争中对自己的克制和对他人不幸的慈悲和同情。智慧,道德和理性在大部分时候显得非常微弱,在有些崇拜力量的人身上(例如布什)和专制制度那里几乎到了看不到的程度。但是它还是潜伏在那里,等待着某一个机遇将它唤醒。

一旦它显示的时候,它往往以震撼人的美丽放出人性的光芒。

即便在非常黑暗的时候,它也没有死去。我在劳改时候,管理我的车启轲师傅是一个从东北打到海南岛的老兵,又去到朝鲜战场,他杀的人太多了。他的脸就象老鹰那么凶。我当时在看场院,他晚上来查夜,看到周围没有人,就从衣服中拿出一根尚有余热的玉米给我,多少的慈悲不言而语在这根玉米之中?须知,他结婚太晚了,家中 有四个不到十岁的孩子,他门前的那一块小小的自留地能给他多少玉米,对我来说,这根玉米比今后生活中多少东西都珍贵。

在人类历史中,尽管绝大部分时间,暴力、贪婪和自私在主宰着进程,但是人们的智慧、道德和理性没有死去,他静静地在深层等待,等着一个人,一个时机,来制约那个像野马一样走得太远的人类本性。

这就象大自然一样伟大,当满山的树林被天火烧毁的时候,你能理解大自然的爱吗?

当华盛顿只担任一任总统的时候,人类从无限权力,世世代代的君王梦中醒来了,你看到他超离贪婪和自私的智慧、道德和理性吗?

当戈巴乔夫将苏联共产主义引向死亡的时候,你听到世界正在奏起一首壮严的智慧、道德和理性的圣歌吗?

当爱因斯坦联名呼吁禁用原子弹的时候,你感到这些伟大灵魂对人类未来命运的担忧吗?

原子武器对人类极其危险,它足以毁灭人类生存环境和导致人类毁灭。所以在这个问题上,不存在平衡国家和民族利益的讨价还价,任何差错都将以国家和人类的命运为代价。任何一个有理智和人性的政治家都应步出狭隘的集团利益, 站在地球人的高度去审视原子武器的解决途径。

我们无法断言,苏美进行的禁止核扩散谈判,是一种高瞻远瞩的人类道德选择,还是包含着隐蔽的核垄断的国家利益在内的策略?但是我们看到是如果世界所有国家都去制做原子武器,等到全世界国家都有原子武器的时候,人类离毁灭自己也就只有一步之遥。人类现有的原子武器已经可以毁灭自己好几次,也许这有些耸人听闻,但是这个世界即使没有被毁灭在原子武器的直接爆炸之中,原子武器的后继影响也足以将人类引向灭亡。

为了竞争走向互相共存亡式的绑在一起的对峙处境,就有些像武侠小说中说的入魔了,实在荒唐。人类在原子武器上的唯一明智途径是停止核试验,销毁一切现有的核武器。让我们相信,人们的智慧、道德和理性没有死去,他静静地在深层等待,等着一个人,一个时机,来制约那个像野马一样走得太远的人类本性。

中国,作为一个东方的大国,绝对不应该向邻国或者世界显露具有核武器的得意心理,她应该理性地用东方的智慧去促进世界销毁一切现有的核武器。那么她就为人类做了贡献。
我不喜欢专制制度,但我决不同意任何用武力去消灭专制制度的意见。这不仅是因为原子武器在内的各种现代武器,会促成至少几百万人的死亡,更重要的这种战争死亡换不来一个民主制度。民主制度只有大部分人都清醒,需要它的时候,才会生根发芽。从历史的眼光去看,专制制度是一定会灭亡的,有人不肯放弃它,因为它给了当权人远远超过人民的特权,这种特权给他们带来了不公平的财富和一切。但是大自然同时给了人类智慧、道德和理性,它存在在每一个人的心中,这无数的不公平堆积到一定程度的时候,就会变化。我读过一些中国将军的文章,其中很多地方都闪耀着以前未见的智慧和理性的火花。让我们相信,人们的智慧、道德和理性没有死去,他静静地在深层等待,等着一个人,一个时机,来制约那个像野马一样走得太远的人类本性。

虽然这种等待,有时很漫长,很痛苦。












Thanks to Mr. Han Zhu for his comments which directed me into further consideration. Mr. Zhu said, the very basic point he'd like to provide me is that, we don't have the real democracy and equality in the international community. The final solutions to the international conflicts will not depend on speaking of truths but depend on the actual strength. We must not understand the international affairs by the ideals and moral values. Most of the time, good intentions can't compete with the brute force.

When the nature (or God) created men, He gave men the necessary power in competing and struggling for existence, which have been the main body in life, sometimes they become very selfish, greedy and lacking of humanity senses. But the Creator also gave human beings intelligence, morals and the gift of reason. The so-called intelligence is to think about destiny beyond the small group's interest, and the so-called morals is something that, during the competing and existence, human beings control themselves and give sympathy to others who are not as fortunate. Intelligence, morals and the gift of reason, most of the time, appear to be very fragile, in some people who worship power, (For example, George Bush) and the authoritarian regimes(Such as China), intelligence and morals are almost invisible. But they are lurking there, waiting to be awakened.

Once the intelligence, morals and the gift of reason show, they usually emit the shocking beautiful light of human nature.

Even at a very dark time, they don't die. When I was on a farm being reformed through labor, the one who monitored me named Che Qike, was a veteran. He once joined  the army and fought from Northeast to Hainan Island, and went to the battlefields in North Korea. He killed so many people. His face looked as fierce as a hawk. I watched the threshing ground at that time, and he came over to check on me at night. That night, seeing no one around, he fumbled an ear of corn which still felt residual heat from his bosom, and passed it to me. How much unspoken sympathy lingered on that ear of corn? You have to know that, he got married late, had four children and all were under ten years old. How many corn in the small private plots in front of his door could be produced? To me, that ear of corn was more precious than all I had in my life afterwards.

In the history of mankind, even though most of the time, violence, greed and selfishness are in charge of the process, but people's wisdom, morality and the gift of reason did not die, they quietly lurk in the deep, waiting for a person, or opportunity, to restrict the human nature which has been like a wild horse, going too far. This just like Mother Nature, was so great. When the entire hill is burnt down by fire, can you understand the love of the mother nature?

When Washington just holding office for one term, awoke humans up from the king's dream for the unlimited powers for generations, did you see his super greed and selfishness of the intelligence, morals, and the gift of reason?

When Gorbachev led the Soviet Communism to death, did you hear the world playing a solemn piece of wisdom, morality and rationality?

When Einstein appealed to stop the nuclear weapons, did you feel the worries from a great soul concerning the future of humanity?

Nuclear weapons are extremely dangerous for humans, which are good enough to destroy the environment for human to survive. So on this issue, there is no equilibrium between the State and nations interests of bargaining. Any errors will be at the cost of the State and human destiny. Any reasonable politicians should step out of the narrow group interest, and stand on the height of the Earth to look at the solutions of atomic weapons.

I don't dare to say with certainty that that the ban of nuclear proliferation negotiations between USA and Russia is a moral choice after taking a broad and long view? Or it also contained a hidden strategy of the nuclear monopoly of the national interest? However, what I can see is that if all countries in the world produce atomic weapons, humans will be only one step away from destroying themselves. The nuclear weapons humans posses today can destroy themselves several times, perhaps it sounds a bit deliberately exaggerated. But although this world won't destroy itself by the direct blast of atomic weapons, the follow-after effects of atomic weapons would be enough to set us on the road to demise.

In order to rush in competition to the confrontation situation where they will be tied to each other and survive, somewhat as if what is mentioned in the martial arts novels, being fascinated and obsessed, which seems to be absurd. The only sensible way to deal with nuclear weapons is to stop the nuclear testing, to destroy all existing nuclear weapons. Let's believe that our wisdom, morality and the gift of reason did not die, they are lurking quietly and waiting, waiting for a man, an opportunity to restrict the human nature which as if a wild horse has gone too far.

China, as a big oriental country, should never reveal to its neighbors or the world its nuclear weapons pride of mind, she should use her wisdom to rationally promote the world to destroy all the existing nuclear weapons. If so, then she will make contributions to human beings.

I don't like the Communist system, but I will not consent to any use of force to destroy the Communist regime. This is not only because the Communist Party has all kinds of modern weapons, including nuclear weapons which will cause the death of millions of people, more importantly, the death of this war can't win the democratic system. Democracy can only take root when most people are awakened and need it. In a historical perspective, the communist system certainly will walk toward demise, the Communist party refused to give it up, because it gives the authorities much more power of privilege than common people, and this kind of power of privilege had brought them unfair wealth and everything. However, Mother Nature at the same time, gives human beings wisdom, morality and rationality which exist inside of everyone. While countless unfairness is accumulated into a certain degree they will change. I have read many articles written by different Chinese generals, which are shining, throwing sparkles of wisdom and rationality we'd never seen before. Let's believe that our wisdom, morality and rationality did not die, they are quietly waiting in deep, waiting for a man, an opportunity to restrict the human nature which as if a wild horse has gone too far.

Although the wait can be very long, very painful.
