“All men's miseries derive from their not being able to sit in a quiet room alone, and do nothing” －Blaise Pascal

近來美國發生了場牽一髮而動全身的金融風暴，據學者們了解，風暴的起源來自於所謂包裝成衍生性金融商品的次級房貸崩盤所引起，許多學者認為這問題應歸因於華爾街的「貪」，但問題是，難道全世界其他190幾個國家的人民就不貪嗎?中國的房地產投資客、日本的汽車製造王國，俄羅斯的石油大亨，以及挪威的鋼鐵業者就不貪嗎?我想，此等說詞，僅是在表面上的現象抓癢，若朝更深層原因探索會發現，其實這次的金融風暴是個哲學性的問題，可牽扯到從18世紀末以來延續至今之左與右兩派意識形態的辯論。本人認為，一國健康的金融體制，乃至其政治結構或人民的生活態度，皆須憑藉此2意識形態的平衡發展。

Just another day’s gone by

With no amount of hope in sight

Cool breeze blowing in the night,

It’s a cloudless mid-April state of mind

Once a master was asked whether human beings have free will. The master then told the disciple to raise any one of his feet, the disciple raised his left foot as was told. The master asked him, did you have free will in choosing which foot u could’ve raised. The disciple answered, “Yes, I had the total freedom as to which foot I could’ve raised, and I raised my left one. I had the total control over them, hence I own my freedom.” Upon hearing this remark, the master went on to have the disciple, again, raise any one of his feet. This time the disciple had no ability in raising either one anymore .”

台灣總統大選終於在昨晚塵埃落定了，台灣人民用選票選擇了以形象、中道、經濟以及溫和為主軸的馬蕭團隊入主總統府。綜觀這8年來台灣所謂的民主轉型及本土意識，民進黨政府訴諸於字的承諾大於它勤而於行的實踐。我想，台灣人民在這8年來，如果有學到任何事情，就是老百姓最終還是需要提升自己敏銳的判斷力來看待政治人物。
