谈教训

最近，我开始阅读钱钟书的散文。有一编是值得讨论的是《谈教训》。作者的文章表露出教训别人在人生的自然过程和视教训者的心态。本人曾经读过孔子的中庸和论语，有了把凡事都视为人心理学和人的自然行为的习惯。在论语里，比如《论语·季氏章》记人生三戒，只说少年好色，壮年好打架，老年好利，和《论语·为政》吾十有五而志于学编，把人生的恶性和良好的习惯以年龄分隔了好几断。这种能改善的恶性一旦能被分类话，就一定能带来极大改善的良机。 钱钟书的《谈教训》提到《论语·季氏章》漏掉中年的好教训。这也不就是人生的趋势,难以否认的趋势。但是我也是一个非常关心别人对言语的反应。你这么说，那少年又能这么说？到底少年应该慎重听你的教训吗？还是配合长辈的到了中年的自然趋势？唉！我们似乎又回到了原点，因为这两个问题似乎经常在我们的脑海里徘徊对吗？最近，基督教会也提到非教训孩子的可怕性。我因此感到担忧，不知我是否会对教训孩子或他人感厌倦。我担心有一种好强又要非众人趋势的作风，以非自我和用他人的手来教训自己的孩子。 圣经的保罗在信里对年轻的提摩太的第二封信，表露出他伯不急待的心情。由于他为主被囚，很害怕提摩太会因此而失去方向。这时，保罗说出了内心的纠纷。有一些人离弃他，又有哪些人还跟随着他。提摩太从小深受圣经的智慧，

Who should you fear in your life?

Often times Christians are being taught that we should fear God and keep his commandment but do we know what is the fear? Christians who do not have daily conversation with God, are very likely to forget the fear of God that we should have. So what is fear? Jun wei previously pointed out that fear has two meanings. One is the natural meaning of being fearful of and the other meaning is also to give reverence to. He gave an illustration of him being fearful to his parents and at the same time, giving his parents the reverence they should receive. I was ok with that definition. However, he gave a more outstanding example of what fear of the God could mean when he mentioned that to fear God, we must study his Word. This actually motivated me to have daily conversation with God. I no longer desire to be just talking to God silently in my mind. I want to study God's word and be more vocal about God. I feel that the biggest problem of not understanding what fearing the God means is gone. All I need to do to is to talk to God. Be it by prayers of by bloggings. I feel much better at this point in time. I never feel that I am incapable of having conversation with God again. I am just typing and typing and not be restricted by the importance of paragraphing and structuring. I am not going to care about the structure. I don't think we can write a petition and send it out to God as a whole. We can just talking and God will be able to understand. Yes, so how to God speaks to me? It is through the bible in which Jun wei has studied and shared a lesson with us. Jun wei gave us many points. He gave us the answer to the question who should you fear in your life to be God. God is the one who can destroy both our physical and spiritual body. God is able to punish us if we disobey. As I am feeling sleepy now. I am thinking of pausing what I am doing now and go to bed. I woke up every early today at about 4:50am. Felt very sad for some reasons. Had a pretty rough time. Which is horrible lonely friday night. I hope this continues. I hope that I can just wipe out this tablet pc and start typing whenever I am free. Whenever I have nothing to do. Just keep on typing and typing. Till the times is up for me to do something.
