真话与谎言
水至清则无鱼,人至察则无徒
这句古训,在我看来,并不是教你怎们为人处事,而是在阐明一个现象。
这几天,张文宏被批的声音越来越大。不确定是否是因为他讲了句他该讲的真话。如今天方舟子推文所说:“…… 张文宏显然是个左右逢源的精明党棍,谎话连篇的同时讲几句大家爱听的话,就被各派人士都捧成“敢讲真话的良心医生”。……”。我不是他的粉,但也能明白他为人处事方式。毕竟在这里,如果你不能做到左右逢源,要么只能默默无闻的当个小医生,要么就像方舟子一样无立足之地远走他国(当小医生的可能性更大)。
所以,张医生做到了不至察。方舟子基本做到了至察,他的粉丝也不少啊。
之前看电视剧Billions有个印象很深的片段。Chuck Rhoades遛狗时遇到不捡屎的年轻,他的那段训话简直经典:
"Let it slide."
That sounds simple, easy.
Sure, let it slide. That's just some dog shit.
But those are three devious little words.
You know, if... if I let your dog shit slide,
then I have to be okay
with this whole plaza filling up with it,
which it would before we know it.
Oh, then it would be on our pant legs and our shoes,
and we would track it into our homes,
and then our homes would smell like shit, too.
It'd be easy to let it slide.
You know, why don't we, uh,
why don't we let petty larceny slide, too?
Some kid steals five bucks from a newsstand? Who cares?
Well, maybe next time he decides to steal your TV
or break into your brownstone and steal your fucking wife.
But what difference does it make?
Because by then, we're all living in shit anyway.
不管怎样,我宁愿听真话,讲事实和讲逻辑。
