前塵往事之原來佢係有錢仔

細細個，唔，讀小五小六咁上下。

當時，我係讀緊所謂貴族學校。即係都幾出名既私立學校。當時，除了有一班有錢人讀貴族學校之外，在這樣貴族學也有像我這一類學生，即係家境不好但父母希望子女入讀名校，因此死慳死抵，屋企全力供養學校（交學費）。學費交了但其他的就未必照顧得到，如衣著，食物，用品等。其實，雖然我細，但我好明白我同很多同學仔係有分別。以我當時的能力我只能分別外表的不同。

人以群分，我這一類人都喜歡聚在一起玩。還好地，在當時而然，bully之類的事件很少發生。或者，當時的人心地比較純樸。但有錢無錢始終都有分別。＂我阿爸買咗對Adidas比＂，＂琴晚屋企食咗xxx＂。講者無心聽者有意。雖然我不懂計較，但我亦清楚知道自己係乜身份。

當時，我與一位黃姓同學很要好，因為在體育堂時我穿大陸運動鞋而他穿大陸白飯魚（我比他高級了一點點），他很和善無架子。其實我們這類人那有資格擺架子？和善（從不駁咀是我們這類人的特性。）

有一天，黃同學同我講，不如搵日去他的屋企玩。這個當然不是問題，因為根本上不需要任何準備嗎！莫非還需要什麼禮儀手信穿著整齊嗎？那天，我跟著黃同學坐電車到了北角。他說還要行一段路。行路，當然難不到我，但我行的方向並不是向海那些平民大眾住的唐樓方向，而是向半山的高級摩天大廈的方向。

我有點不相信自己的眼。他竟然有自己的房間，我當時全家只有一間房。他有自己的書枱，基本上，任何用品他都有自己的。如果是現在我會問他有沒有自己廁所。我看到他的鞋櫃，內裏的衣服鞋襪都是 made in China。

這位太子爺，為什麼可以那麼樸素，為什麼可以那麼不炫耀自己的財富。我當時的結論是：他的家教好（我不想說他是笨蛋一名又或者他是一個節儉的人。事實上，我真的希望我不是一個＂節儉＂的人，我是那種是＂被節儉＂的一族）。但現在的我，我的結論是：他的家教好而他自己亦非常之好。

無為與無能

小國寡民，是老子以無為而治之道理。
但無為並不是無能弱勢。

看香港現在，市民分黨分派，各自表述，各自攻擊。這個亂象正正是領導無能之結果。

定還是有人想成亂中抽水獲利呢？

我相信能看到司馬超之心的日子不遠已。

走鋼線

要維持人的健康就像走鋼線一樣，我們要保持身體平衡。失足跌了下來就是生病了。

年紀越小，鋼線離地越近，十多歲的孩童他的鋼線離地如兩三尺，跌了下來，拍拍屁股起身再行過。

對於中年人，鋼線離地可有十多尺高，跌下來可不事小，隨時永久傷殘甚麼乎生命有危險。

對於老人而言，他們的鋼線就像在摩天大樓那麼高，一次平衡不了，必然粉身碎骨。

中國歷史與去中國化

近來在香港社會都在討論去中國化。就我自己的想法，對香港人而言，去中國化並不是問題，因為香港這個百多年華洋雜處之地使到香港人都己經很不＂中國＂。

讀不讀中國歷史並不是所以香港人的關注。

香港人最怕的是＂去香港化＂。

文科，理科

在香港讀中學時有分文科，理科。現在好似還有商科和工科。那個較為重要？是很難定斷。

我是讀理科大的，當然認同人人都要有科學頭腦。我最怕有人叫我換燈泡，因為佢怕電死。

沒有科學與邏輯，都不知道這個世界會變成怎樣？起碼，就沒有多姿多釆的生活。什麼3D電影，電腦遊戲，即時溝通的手機等。能讀理科都不知幾好，起碼我會自己換燈泡而不會電死。

今天，我坐下來亂想。如果當一個民族即將被滅亡時，我們最想保留的是什麼？在我心裡浮出來的竟然是：這個民族的文化，藝術及歷史。能夠真正代表著一個民族原來是那個不會換燈泡的文科。

香港人近來的怒吼，是不是他們已經意識到自己的民族，文化，藝術和歷史即將被毀滅。

「阿媽係女人」

「阿媽係女人」我地都認為係廢話。

但今時今日，呢句話都好正面同實質意義。

例如：有一日你老豆突然同你講「你阿媽可能係女人或者可能係男人」。又或者講「你阿媽其實係男人」。我好相信你好會好開心聽到你老豆講呢一句廢話：「你阿媽係女人」。

在工作上亦是如是。你老板講一D你阿媽係女人之類既說話其實都好正面，因為你老板正正就係話比你知你應該點樣做，邊個先係正確方向（縱使係老板的期望，但起碼你知佢想乜）。最怕D老板無立場，你做A佢又話你，你做B佢又話你，你做乜Q都話你。（其實而家越來越多呢類唔自己都知點既老板）

有時廢話其實一Ｄ都唔廢，睇你點理解同分析。

天堂，人間，地獄

天堂，人間，地獄

耶教有最終審判，審判後會到天堂或地獄。佛教亦有彿國淨土及地獄之說，而大部份則受輪迴之苦。其實大部份宗教都有天堂與地獄之說，是人死後受審判後被送去。細節未必相同但大概的方向是一樣的。

去天堂，去地獄前都必須有一個審判。佛教有業鏡台，播放出生前所做種種一切，最後決定去天堂、地獄還是在六道中輪迴。而耶教，死後在上帝面前受審，最後由上帝決定你去天堂還是地獄（有一個說法是彼得）。

天堂，人間，地獄。我在想，去那裡並不是審後被判的結果，而是個人的選擇。縱使要審，那個審是自我審判，那個判是自己判決。

天堂，人間，地獄是三種不同的境界，天堂真的是美好的嗎？在這裡，你追求不了名，利，權。享受不了榮華富貴，談不到情，說不到愛。得不到親情，講不到義氣。沒有大癲大廢的日子，沒有玩到盡的日子。連粗口也說不得。這是人人都喜歡的生活嗎？

地獄是苦嗎？地獄是瘋狂人的烏托邦，甚麼事情你都可以做，沒有任何制裁只有強權。你不需跟隨什麼規則，因為你就是規則。你有本事你就是大。要滿足你慾望，地獄是不二之選。

人世間，可謂五光十色但亦有不少限制。你現在活在人世間，是怎樣的一回事相信不須的多講了。

面對這三條路，各人都有各人的考慮，各人都有各人的選擇。又何須外力的審判？你若是霸權的擁護者，你會到天堂裡去受那清淨之苦嗎？反之，你享受清靜無為，你還喜歡到人間擾擾攘攘嗎？

當然，最高境界是穿梭三界如無物。非有大智慧不可。

我這樣平庸的人，相信現在就是為未來的選擇要做好準備，希望在未來減低適應的問題。

大道是自然的，萬事萬物並沒有強加的成份，縱使強加，屬性亦不會改變的。蘋果的種子無論種在甚麼的土地上，生長出來的始終都是蘋果。水向下流，這個特性不會因你起了多高的堤壩而改變。

姑蘇慕容

我自細就比人叫包頂頸。到現在也是如是，性格呢家嘢真係好難改。

但話說回來，能夠由細到老都頂咀實情都唔簡單，當中亦有個人心得。反正我死後亦沒有什麼藉得別人懷念做福人群的事情，亦沒有什麼偉大學問留於後世，這個不傳心得亦於今日現世於人前。

在金庸小說中有幾個角色我非常喜歡，當然講到靚女角就個個都好，但縱使反派亦使人印象深刻。這些反對派未必是心狠手辣之徒，反之是環境中的悲劇人物。當中一個可是天龍八部中的慕容復，背負著復國的擔子，最後整個人生什麼也沒有了，連死心塌地的超級靚女王語嫣都沒有了。

慕容復的故事可留待你自己在小說中細細閱讀，我想講的是他那套家傳武功「以彼之道還施彼身」的功夫。功夫的主旨很簡單，用你的功夫打你。你用龍爪手我亦用龍爪手，你用金剛掌我又用金剛掌。務求打你一個措手不及。當然，在小說中說明，要用姑蘇慕容這套家傳絕學你必須悟性過人及有深厚的內功根底。因為你要在最短時間內領略到對手的武功招式，再票配上自己的家傳內功，使出與對手相似的功夫。淨係靠嚇，都嚇死對方。

講了這麼多慕容復其實我只是想講他那一套「以彼之道還施彼身」的武功。武功，我不會。鬥咀，可是我興趣之一。在鬥咀多年我可發覺一個鬥咀時的一個不變道理，即「公說公理，婆說婆理」。若然大家說同一個理就沒有咀可鬥了。大家的理據都是建基於個人的經驗、想法及感覺而出。簡單地講就是很個人化很主觀的一件事情。說實在點，兩個主觀的角度其實沒有什麼好說。一杯水，你話水冷我話水熱，這種討論有意義嗎？縱使你加上科學知識希望令到你的道理有客觀根據，如水零度結冰100度變蒸氣，那麼30度的水就是冷，這種主觀加上科學數據在鬥咀上一無是處，絕不會幫助你把勝利帶回來。

要在鬥咀勝利，姑蘇慕容這一招絕不可小看。「以彼之道還施彼身」在鬥咀上是怎樣運用出來，把對手打倒？鬥咀的高境界並不是用公理去迫婆理，而是用婆理去迫婆理。婆理輸了給婆理，那麼，婆理就真的輸得一敗塗地。我的鬥咀心得就如姑蘇慕容一樣，細心聆聽對方的理據及論點，運用對方的理據去指出對方的不合理。當對方反駁時我只會說聲這不是你的論據麼？就算是錯也是你的論據錯，可不是我。

我在鬥咀時常常出現的說話：「你的意思是否xxxxxx？」（還施彼身前你可需要清楚肯定對方的論據啊）當肯定對方的立論後就加上：「若照你的講法、那麼xxxxxxx（你的論據）是不可能的，不成立的因為yyyyyyyy。」

例；在反對粗口的大會上寫上大量粗口字句及說上無數粗口，就是最好的例子。我不會反駁集會的目的，這是公理婆理的事情。但反粗口人士講粗口就是他們自打嘴巴的事。就是最好使用慕容家的武功時候。

當然還有很多例子，時機到再加演術。

麻煩的人

人世間，總有很多＂麻煩＂的人。（麻煩一詞是相對而言，你認為係麻煩可能有人認為並不麻煩）。面對＂麻煩＂的人我們總要有方法處理，否則處理不當，你會更加麻煩。

方間很多書、媒體教人如何去處理或面對麻煩的人。千奇百怪，千方百計。招式之多總教你記不清，出招之前你還要做一輪分析，以免出錯以致弄巧反拙。

我記性不好，平生最怕是背書，要用腦記就是死穴。要記著這千方百計就已經要了我的老命，人都死了還談什麼處理＂麻煩＂人？

面對＂麻煩＂的人，我只用一招：做回自己。

要清楚自己的價值觀/標準/原則/大前提/底線。

在不超出自己的原則下幫得就幫，否則我只會說聲＂no＂或＂sorry＂。若別人問句＂why＂，我只會簡單地答＂sorry，我做唔到＂或者＂呢個係我既問題，我做唔到，sorry＂。

Sorry之後，＂麻煩＂的人當然會有很多聯想，上綱上線。但我的一招並沒有聯想這回事，即一單還一單，單單事並無任何聯繫，有的話，我包你一定煩死（係自尋煩惱）。

＂麻煩＂人準會在你面前或背後詛咒你，但不要怕亦不要有任何反應。因為你從頭至尾都是本著自己的價值觀，做人原則去作決定，幫或不幫都是這個準則，有了這個不免強自己、不違反自己原則的原則，你已經有了充分的理由去支持自己的決定，還怕什麼詛咒？做回自己，守著自己的價值觀是最直接有效面對這個不停在變的世界的方法。

不竟，人是有權擁有及保守著自己的價值觀。別人是不得及無任何理由可以侵犯這個領土。
