小年夜的遐想——和谐
改革开放三十年系列谈之五
文/安如山成稿于2009年1月19日小年之夜
今日是我们南方的小年夜。小年夜也是一个团圆夜。
今日过小年,也令如山浮想连篇的。
如山最先想起了小时候。小时候,如山最盼望的事就是过小年了。记得那时候过小年,就会有好吃的。如今的小年对于小孩子来说也没有多大的意义了。因为,如今的小孩子每天都是过小年一样。他们的心目中已经没有了多少的过小年的意识,反到对西方的圣诞节钟情了起来。
如山又想到了前不久看的冯小刚的贺岁片《非诚勿忧》。片子里有一句以搞笑方式出现的非常正统的台词:“21世纪什么最贵?和谐。”
小年夜的如山想起了和谐。
21世纪什么最贵?和谐。和谐是很难能可贵的。我们国家的目标也是要建一个和谐的社会,铸造一个和谐的世界。和谐,最怕的就是折腾。中国人就喜欢折腾。折腾来折腾去的,最后就没有了和谐,一个地球、一个国家、一个社会、一个单位、一个组织、一个家庭都莫不如是。喜欢折腾就会要葬送和谐。
和谐原本就那么的贵,原本就那样的难以追寻。
要想实现和得到和谐,先得有一个和谐的精神。
什么样的精神是和谐的精神。和谐的精神对于一个国家来说,就是要以民为本,以和为贵。和谐的精神对于一个家庭、一个小团体来说,就是要以国为家,以家为本。没有和谐的国家,不可能有和谐的家庭,没有和谐的家庭,也不可能有和谐的社会。
小年夜令如山想起和谐,就令如山想起了家庭这个社会最基本的细胞的意义。
家庭的和谐,要有一定的举案齐眉的精神,以前的女人把男人叫做“当家的”。这也是过去的家庭与现代的家庭不同,并更能实现“和谐”的原因所在。任何家庭都经不起折腾,一哭二闹三上吊,这样的家庭不要也罢。折腾来折腾去,一个家庭拆了,一个家庭散了,社会还是不能和谐。原本就不喜欢和谐而喜欢折腾的人,即使你建立了新的家庭,你也不是实现家庭和谐的料。家庭和谐是社会和谐的基础。国家和谐是世界和谐的基石。
国家的和谐,要有一点点调和的精神。任何国家都经不起折腾。一个国家搞了党派政治,又搞经济政治;讨好了这个主义,又讨好那个主义;掀起了内战,又喊抵抗侵略;反了内讧,又反殖民;游了行,还骂娘,这都不是和谐的民族精神。国家有内争的,外面的环境也不可能好到哪儿去的。一个国家折腾够了,他们的人民也不可能和谐到哪儿去的。死了儿子的,没有了丈夫的,被强奸了女儿的,这样的家庭如果是和谐的,那是一个颠倒黑白的真理的缘故。如今有很多人还生活在非常时代里,还回忆和欣赏着非常年代里的生活,似乎很向往和理解非常年代里的生活。我们这样的堂堂的一个大国,似乎有这么多年没有了战争,在致力于自己的经济建设,反而觉得不正常了,手里有了点小钱,心里就开始痒痒了。这是战争的后遗症。我们的民族要警惕。谁去谈判,谁去中止战争,就会要贴上“投降派”“卖国贼”的标签。“枪杆子出政权”,“落后就要挨打”、“帝国主义和一切反动派都是纸老虎”,这是战争的机器的极不和谐的轰鸣声。
别看以巴冲突和俄乌“斗气”,他们都是国内不能和谐,就把矛盾转移到国际之间来。别看美国金融危机不和谐,他们可要把全世界的经济都要拉下水。以色列不和谐,把战争当机器,以提高党派的竞争实力。巴勒斯坦不和谐,哈马斯就用妇女、儿童当盾牌,以提高其组织在阿拉伯世界里的地位,他们真有好的理念,他们一手拿着枪,一手拿着橄榄枝。那个国家不和谐,党内争权,阶层争利,就会把最苦难的人民绑上战争的机器,纵观古今,了览中外,都莫不如是,不要听一切的历史的、非历史的所谓真理或者谎言。
俄罗斯和乌克兰本是居于同一个屋檐下,但最近却因一些并非天然的“气”而生气,并发展“斗气”,昔日兄弟,今日反目成仇。他们掌控着世界资源,却要拿世界资源来要挟世界人民。战争的机器又可能要发动。21世纪最不能和谐的可能就是“能源”。
小年夜如山还想起了刚刚过世的姑妈。姑妈中风多年了,于前两天过世,走完了她80岁的历程。她是一个贫苦的最基层的农村家庭主妇。她却是中国和谐家庭的典范。姑妈成功的和谐,关键的是她一辈子想任何事、做任何事首先想到的都不是自己,而是儿女、丈夫、亲人和朋友。儿时的如山最喜欢到姑妈家。因为姑妈家是一个典型的和谐家庭,有着特殊的和谐气氛。姑妈读书不多,善于言谈,是一个和谐的高手,关系很善于调理,到老都能保持一种特殊的风采。如山结论:自私是人类最大的敌人,自私是和谐最大的敌人。动不动就宣扬国家利益、民族利益的都不是什么好鸟。国家的好战分子和家庭的折腾分子,在本质是一样的。姑妈的理念就掀不起战争,无论是家庭的战争和国家的战争。但姑妈绝不是弱者,她同样得到了亲人、家庭、社会的尊重。
如山还想到单位里的一些转业军人,他们就喜欢战争,喜欢在单位里搬弄是非。这是战争理念在他们心里刻下的阴影。他们处理人际关系也当作了战场,以胜负见分晓。当然中国的经济条件还不够。如果条件成熟,如山建议国家设立职业军人制度。军人不能转业地方,不能把地方的和谐当作军人战争理念的实验场。军人不谈经济、不谈政治,看到伊拉克开战了,他们津津乐道,看到印巴冲突了,他们也磨拳擦掌了。军人和战争都不是和谐社会的力量源泉。和谐社会的力量源泉是如山的刚刚过世的姑妈。
小年夜里,如山在为姑妈默默地祈祷和祝福。如山想:她在另一个世界也挑不起任何的纷争。
如山过两天将送姑妈最后一程。好人命不长,或要最受尽了磨难才会离开这个世界。姑妈就是这样,她就要在春节前,小年前离开这个世界。当然已经中风了的姑妈是不知道四川汶川的地震的。她要是知道的话,也不知她要在这个风雨中的小年夜里,为四川的他们流下多少的眼泪。
我佛慈悲。慈善的人的眼泪就是这个世界和你的家庭的润滑剂。
朋友们,请你相信眼泪。
莫斯科不相信眼泪,安如山就相信眼泪。相信最真诚的眼泪。
因此,和谐也是一个虚拟的结构。这个世界本没有和谐。
和谐的理念的获得,是改革开放三十年里最伟大的思想成就。
我们就是要和谐。我们不仅要和谐的家庭,和谐的社会。我们还要和谐的世界与和谐的太空。和谐就是这个世界里最和谐的词汇。
