Where is the world of no secret?
…………………………………………Leechard
(Quest No.8237e 2011 0910 Saturday)
“A world of no secret? We do not need to hide ourselves? We are open to each other?”
There was a place, where people need no clothes. But the story is not completed. We are hiding not our bodies, but our minds. Clothes are but some form of analogy. Actually our minds are closed.
If one day we are all open to each other, we have no secret, we do not need any secret, then we must have arrived the ideal world.
May be this is the best ideal we can imagine in this ugly world.
However, we have found some interesting “secrets” here.
1. The most open-minded people are the happiest.
2. Those who kept most secrets are most powerful, and they can be the happiest also.
3. The secrets of all the common people are in the hands of a few powerful people.
4. Powerful people never understand that the more secret they obtained, the more ignorant they are.
5. Sophisticated tools are in the hands of a few powerful people. They can obtain secrets of any kind. They thought they could control the world by controlling secrets.
6. Secrets are not knowledge. People had use so much effort to obtain secret, so less for knowledge. They had read millions of emails, hacked billions of phone calls. But the outcome is ignorance. That is why many of the powerful people are blind.
7. Blind people are leading the world now.

何謂「唔知醜」？
何謂「唔知醜」？
………………………………………………………李察
(問到底No.8236 2011 0909 Friday)
「唔知醜」是評估一個人是否真正成功的第二種方法。
羞恥是光榮的相反。當你自覺光榮的時候，你不會知醜。你可能很窮，身穿爛衣，破鞋，但你對自己有很好的看法，你毫無不自然的感覺。
自我感覺良好，是很重要的。因為你有更強的內在支持力量。你不需要鑽戒、獎牌、頭銜去告訴人家你是誰。你的內在感覺會告訴你，你就是誰。你自己知道，你是有所作為的。你是對的，你是快樂的。
這種感覺光芒萬丈，所有其他的事情，包括你所穿在身上的爛衫，全都充滿光輝。
貧窮並不等於成功。所有人都需要足夠的資源去生活和去工作。但有趣的是，為甚麼這許多人這樣窮，卻毫無不自然的感覺。
因為，他們就是像德蘭修女那樣的成功人物。
成功不等於達到了某種地位。成功是貢獻。當你作了大事，光榮的感覺會升起。這種感覺，是直接從成功來的。你知道，你已經在永恆中佔有位置，你是宇宙主宰的寵兒。而這是抹不去的。你是快樂的，你對於塵世的物資，無所留戀。你已經獲得。你是光榮的。所以，你不知醜。

What is the feeling of no shame?
What is the feeling of no shame?
…………………………………………Leechard
(Quest No.8236e 2011 0909 Friday)
Shame is the opposite of glory. When you feel that you are glorious, you will have no shame. Even you are poor, and wear shabby clothes, broken shoes; but you have the best judgement for yourself, you will not feel anything uneasy.
To have the best judgement of oneself, is very important. It is because you have much stronger support in your soul. You do not need diamonds, medals, and titles to show that you are something. Your inner feeling will tell you, you are something. You know you have done something great, and you are justified and happy. This sense of glory is so bright that all other things, including your shabby clothes are shining in the light.
Being poor is not success itself. We all need enough sources to live and to work. No one is aiming at being poor. But the interesting point is that why some people are poor, but they do not have the shame feeling.
It is because, they are really successful people, like Mother Teresa.
Success is not achievement. Success is contribution and dedication. When you have done something great, a sense of glory will rise. The sense is coming directly from the success itself. You know it is registered somewhere in the eternality. You know you are the son of Him. And He is the Lord of the universe. Your success cannot be ripped away. You are happy, and you are not concerned with what you will get from the earthy matters, you have gained what you want. You are glorious, and you feel no shame.

何謂「唔覺威」？
何謂「唔覺威」？
………………………………………………………李察(問到底No.8235 2011 0908 Thursday)
要評估一個人是否真的成功，有兩種方法。
第一種就是「唔覺威」。亦可以是：「沒有感覺的感覺」。成功之時，只是覺得平常，而且覺得，事情是必定這樣發生的。就好像駕駛一部價值二千萬的跑車在街上走，居然毫無感覺，一絲虛榮也沒有。就像電影明星柯德利夏萍那樣，她是拒絕配載真珠寶的。傳說有一次她本來答應拍一段廣告的。但臨到現場，她才知道，需要配載一條真的名貴鑽石項鍊。她拒絕了。不是許多人有這種拒絕的勇氣的。真正成功的人，就是成功在這些地方。
這種沒有感覺的感覺是很重要的。因為，這感覺証明了你的奮鬥目標，不是虛榮，而是有真正價值的。下次，當你上台領獎的時刻，不理那是奧運金牌還是甚麼的，你只是沒有感覺，你才算是真正成功了。
至於第二種方法是「唔知醜」，下次談。

What is the feeling of no feeling?
What is the feeling of no feeling?
…………………………………………Leechard
(Quest No.8235e 2011 0907 Wednesday)
There are two measures for one's success.
One is the feeling of no feeling. You did not feel glorious when you were successful. If you are driving a twenty-million racing car on the road, and every body are looking at you admirably, but you do not feel it. You have no feeling about it. And it is not even your own car. Just like the movie star Audrey Hepburn, she had mentioned somewhere once, that she never wore a real jewel. Some people are very rich, but they do not regard money or material life is important.
The feeling of no feeling has a meaning. It means your aim is not vanity. You have a real motive, and you had fought hard for it. Next time, when you are in the platform to accept the gold medal for something, you have this feeling of no feeling, you don't have that kind of vanity, then you are really successful.
As for the other measure, “feeling no shame”, I will write later.

愛因斯坦是聖人嗎？
愛因斯坦是聖人嗎？
………………………………………………………李察(問到底No.8234 2011 0906 Tuesday)
*周一人物*
愛因斯坦不是聖人。他是一個猶太人，很像一個猶太聖人。但他不是。
他是西方文化的領導者。如果我再說得接近一些，他是西方文化的外在領導者。而這一個位置，比猶太教的聖人更要影響深遠。雖然他的科學理論已被修正，不再被視為完全正確，但是，他仍是西方文化最核心的重點人物。
他對政治和道德，都充滿興趣。他又是和平主義和人權的倡議者。人們都喜歡他，他有時面對鏡頭，喜歡把舌頭伸出，他的形象，被廣泛欣賞。
要一直到了二十一世紀，他的內在秘密才逐漸披露。他在公眾前的形象和家庭中的形象，是完全不同的。他堅持跟第一任妻子離婚。她身體和心靈完全崩潰。留下一雙兒子。十五歲的大兒子憎恨他，而六歲的小兒子患上心理病，多次接受電擊治療，後來在痛苦中死去。而他對於次任妻子，也不是誠實的。有次在他的私人遊艇中檢拾出一堆衣物，他的兩位繼妻的女兒發覺，其中有一件低胸的女裝泳衣。
他是嚴重內外衝突的。而中國人的領袖毛澤東，情況和他相似。兩人都是嚴重內外衝突的。 而這就構成了我們的二十世紀。

Is Albert Einstein a saint?
…………………………………………Leechard
(Quest No.8234e 2011 0906 Tuesday)
Of course he is not a saint. He is a Jew and very likely thought of as a Jewish saint. But he is not.
He is the leader of Western culture. If I can put it more correctly, he is the external culture leader of the West. This position is more than a saint in the Jewish tradition. Though his scientific theories had been amended and not considered completely correct, but still, he is the center of Western culture. He is widely interested on politics and morals. He is a campaigner for pacifism and human rights. People are all happy about him. Especially when he poked out his tongue for camera, he as a funny and nice old man is widely accepted.
Its only recently people discovered that he was double faced. The behavior in front of the public and inside the family was totally different. He had insisted to divorce his wife, and she was mentally and physically collapsed, leaving behind a pair of sons. His fifteen-year-old elder son hated him and his second son was only six years old and suffered serious mental illness for the rest of his life and died in a painful condition. And he was not loyal to his second wife too. His servants packed the clothes inside his boat to laundry, and his two daughters of his second wife discovered a ladies low cut swimming suit in it.
He is heavily contradicted in and out. Yet, he is the leading figure of the West. To compare with him, Chinese leader Mao Tse Tung was more or less the same. Both are heavily contradicted figures. And that constituted our twentieth century.

何謂「新聞自由」？
何謂「新聞自由」？
………………………………………………………李察
(問到底No.8233 2011 0901 Wednesday)
新聞自由是不存在的。在世界上的大多數地方，沒有新聞自由。包括了中國、俄國、美國、和香港等等。
如果大學裡的新聞系有學者告訴你，在自由世界裡有新聞自由，在禁制世界裡沒有。那麼，他就是沒有說出全部的事實。
只有控制中的新聞自由，但沒有新聞自由。
何謂「控制」？就是說，你有一些看起來好像新聞自由的自由，其實沒有。
一隻怪獸就是一隻怪獸。如果你在怪獸的頭上插上花，怪獸看起來好看些，但他仍然是一隻怪獸。
如果你在新聞報紙上放一些奇談怪論，報紙會看起來好看些，但是，報紙仍是不自由的。這報紙仍是控制中的報紙。
如果你是在二樓，你就是在二樓。你不是在三樓。你不會看見三樓風景。
會有聰明些的朋友，能像三樓的人那樣思考？看見二樓看不見的景象？
是的。或者那朋友就是花，是怪獸頭上的花。 或者這花有一天能改變怪獸。這是不能否定的。這是叫做「希望」。
所謂的「新聞自由」就是這樣：所有意見，都是受控的。總有大老闆在一切的背後。你是為他工作，你每月受薪。你只不過是「大氣候」的一部份。有時，不同的意見也被「容許」，但如果你過了界，就要被炒。這是許多人被炒的原因。
而所有的大新聞機構，都是有大老闆的。
誰拿走了「新聞自由」？
老闆們拿走了「新聞自由」。
但問題是：我們是否仍然有一點「個人的新聞自由」？就像此刻你在看的網頁，不是仍有許多嗎？
是的。到此為止，仍不能不承認，我們是有個人的新聞自由的。而且，每人都可以是一朵花，是怪獸頭上的花 。希望有一天，怪獸能夠有所改善。
大規模的新聞機構可以控制，但個人是很難控制的。
「潮流」，或者所謂「大氣候」就是被大機構造成的，不是被小小的個人份子造成的。個人份子，不過是羔羊。而羔羊只能在路上走。而路是被大機構舖設出來的。而且，路也只有一條。或者，總是有人能夠找到新路的。或者，開創一條新路，也是可能的。這是一種希望，而不是新聞自由。
那麼，一個自由國家和一個禁制國家，有甚麼不同呢？
他們都是道路的提供者。
而且，他們都有警察（或牧人）看守羊群。
有的牧人工作得好。有的不那麼好。像海明威、差利卓別靈、約翰連儂，所有這些光輝的個人，都曾經投訴，說被警察監控，騷擾。而且那些都是真的。後來出現的証據，証明了這些都是事實。但是，公眾並不太知道這些事情。
但無論如何，在一個「自由世界」和「禁制世界」之間，仍有所區別。
在「自由世界」中的警察，是穿便衣的。
而在「禁制世界」中，警察是既穿制服，也穿便服的。
這就是我昨天所知道的「新聞自由」。
當我寫完了上文之後，覺得心中好像有一種聲音：
「那麼，老闆們呢？如果你有一個好老闆，如果這老闆的智慧知道了誠實的重要，那麼，事情就好了。」
這是很對的，真是一語中的。你總是不能否定，在將來的某時，某刻，會有一個好老闆出現的。
雖然這是不能保証的，但卻是可能的。所以，新聞自由也是可能的，雖然控制中的新聞自由肆虐，但真正的新聞自由，仍是可能的。
思索到了此刻，問題已經不是新聞自由不自由了。
問題是，我們作為人類一份子，有沒有機會去尋找真理。當然這是必須肯定的。因為，是我們自己的內在心思去作決定的。要不要去找出真相，權力總是在自己的手上。人是自由的。這是來自莊子的意思。也是耶穌的意思。他說過，「Seek and you shall find」。
那心中的聲音又說:「你知道誰是好的老闆嗎？」我的個人答案是：我或者知道或者不知道，但時間會知道，歷史也會知道。
之後，那聲音就不再言語了。或者我是對的。

What is press freedom？
What is press freedom？
…………………………………………Leechard
(Quest No.8233e 2011 0901 Wednesday)
Press freedom is non-existed. There is no such thing as Press Freedom in most parts of the world, including China, Russia, America, and of course, Hong Kong.
If somebody in the Journalism department of the higher education institutes tells you there is press freedom in a free world, and there is no press freedom in a forbidden world, then he is not telling all the facts.
We have only controlled press freedom, but no press freedom.
What is “Controlled”? It means you have something “looks like” press freedom, but actually no freedom at all.
A monster is a monster. If you put some flowers on the head of the monster, the monster looks more beautiful, but he is still a monster.
If you put some strange ” view points” in the newspaper, the newspaper will be better looking, but it will not become free. It is the same controlled newspaper.
If you are in the second floor of some level, it means, you are in the second floor. You are NOT in the third floor.
You can not have the third floor views.
The question is, will there be a smart individual think like the third floor people? And see the things the second floor people cannot see?
Yes, then the individual is the flower. He is the flower on the monster’s head. May be the flower can change the monster someday, it can not be denied. It is something we called “hope”.
The so-called press freedom is exactly like this: All the opinions are under control. There are real bosses behind all the big news co-operations. You are working under them; you will get your paycheck every month. You simply are a part of the general “atmosphere”. You will help to create such “atmosphere”. Some times, different ideas were “allowed”, but never exceed a certain limit. If you are so brave to tell more, you will sure be fired. That is why there are so many people lost their jobs in the co-operations.
All news co-operations are but the will of a limited number of “bosses”.
Who had taken away our press freedom?
The “bosses” had taken away the press freedom.
And now the question is: Do we have individual press freedom? Like the blog you are now reading, is an individual thing. And there are millions of them in some countries.
Until this moment, I would say yes. Yes we have individual press freedom, and every one can be a flower, to grow on the monster’s head, hoping some day the monster can change.
Co-operations can be controlled. But individuals not so easy.
The “trend”, or the “atmosphere” is shaped by co-operations, not individuals. Individuals are like sheep, going where the only road leads. The road is supplied by co-operations. May be some one can find a new road, or build a new road. And that is “hope”, but not “press freedom”.
What is the difference between a “Free country” and a ”Forbidden country”?
They all have roads. Both of the countries have roads build by co-operations.
They all have police (or shepherd) to guard the sheep.
Some of the shepherds are working well, some not so well. Hemingway, Charles Chaplain, John Lennon, all this bright individuals had complained that they were under heavy secret police monitor and harassment. And they were true, proven by later discovered facts. But the general public seldom aware of it.
However, there are still differences between a “Free world” and a “Forbidden world”.
In a “Free world”, policemen wear plain clothes. In a “Forbidden world” policemen wear both uniforms and plain clothes.
And this was all I had known about “Press Freedom” yesterday.
When I finished writing the above, I felt a voice talking to me: “What about the bosses? What if you have a good boss? If the boss is wise enough to know the importance of being honest, then everything is alright.”
And that was a direct hit to the point. You can never deny that someday, somewhere, a good boss will be born.
Though there is no guarantee, but it is possible. So, press freedom is possible, though controlled press freedom prevails, the real press freedom is still possible.
And the point is not press freedom now.
The point is whether we as a human being can have a chance to seek the truth. And we must be positive about this. It is something inside us that make the decision. The power is always on our hand. We are free, as the point was from Zhuang Zi the ancient philosopher. And from Jesus also. He had said, ” Seek and you shall find.”
The voice talked to me again: Do you know who is a good boss? My answer: I may or may not know who is good, who is bad. But time will know, and history will know.
The voice never says anything again. May be I am right.

Press freedom is non-existed. There is no such thing as Press Freedom in most parts of the world, including China, Russia, America, and of course, Hong Kong.
If somebody in the Journalism department of the higher education institutes tells you there is press freedom in a free world, and there is no press freedom in a forbidden world, then he is not telling all the facts.
We have only controlled press freedom, but no press freedom.
What is “Controlled”? It means you have something “looks like” press freedom, but actually no freedom at all.
A monster is a monster. If you put some flowers on the head of the monster, the monster looks more beautiful, but he is still a monster.
If you put some strange ” view points” in the newspaper, the newspaper will be better looking, but it will not become free. It is the same controlled newspaper.
If you are in the second floor of some level, it means, you are in the second floor. You are NOT in the third floor.
You can not have the third floor views.
The question is, will there be a smart individual think like the third floor people? And see the things the second floor people cannot see?
Yes, then the individual is the flower. He is the flower on the monster’s head. May be the flower can change the monster someday, it can not be denied. It is something we called “hope”.
The so-called press freedom is exactly like this: All the opinions are under control. There are real bosses behind all the big news co-operations. You are working under them; you will get your paycheck every month. You simply are a part of the general “atmosphere”. You will help to create such “atmosphere”. Some times, different ideas were “allowed”, but never exceed a certain limit. If you are so brave to tell more, you will sure be fired. That is why there are so many people lost their jobs in the co-operations.
All news co-operations are but the will of a limited number of “bosses”.
Who had taken away our press freedom?
The “bosses” had taken away the press freedom.
And now the question is: Do we have individual press freedom? Like the blog you are now reading, is an individual thing. And there are millions of them in some countries.

何謂「典範」？
何謂「典範」？
………………………………………………………李察(問到底No.8232 2011 0831 Wednesday)
不知有多少人知道，何謂「典範」。更不知有沒有人願意去「轉移」「典範」。
事實上，這是很老的名詞了。最少也有二十年。李察也用過不少。有時，李察會用另一名詞去替代，李察會說，那是「思想網絡」。
但人們仍不明白。有讀者來信嚴詞質詢，問為何不用密碼寫文章，橫豎也是存心不讓人明白的。
或者，這些只是不太常用的名詞。所以，人們有點不習慣。
為何不太常用呢？
因為，人們不能自覺知道，一旦典範被轉移了，經濟難題也會隨之解決。知識的探索方向有了改變，新視野才能出現。
第一個問題是：何謂「思想」？(對此問題無興趣的讀者，切勿往下閱讀。)
舊的見解認為，思想是線條形狀的。例如，最初是發明火車頭，跟著是汽車，跟著是飛機，然後是電話、無線電、留聲機，等等。新知識是一件一件接踵而來的。而我們到了線的未端，就會聰明些。
但是，典範卻不是一條線。那是一整套的概念和其他元素。人是用整套概念去思考的。我們需要的不是一個概念，而是整套的概念，意念，感覺，等等。
李察以為，典範就是 一個思想網絡。 這網絡由百千萬億的「概念」組成。相同網絡的人們，思想未必相同，但思考的習慣會比較接近。
很多人會比較亞里士多德，牛頓，愛恩斯坦，霍金等人的概念。但觀察角度也可以是哲學的。李察相信，更大影響的人是摩西、耶穌、尼采、還有卡繆。
在摩西時代，主要的典範是法和復仇。到了耶穌，才提出了愛。耶穌把愛帶到世上，愛就成為了普遍接受的生活方式。但後來的哲學家像尼采等人否定神，以為生命是無意義的，甚至是荒謬的。因此，就把物質主義重新喚起了。
當人們以為，生命沒有意義，就會追求世俗快樂。
同時就放棄了靈性的安慰感受。雖然沒有人會否定愛，但會忘記愛。在角逐世俗享受的時候，典範就是轉了。人們不但忘記了愛，連知也忘記了。好奇心和求知慾被壓抑到最低點。而富蘭克林時代的人，是不會這樣的。他們不僅喜歡閱讀，更時常做科學研究和實驗。但在今時今日的亞洲和香港，你立刻就能感覺了不同的氣氛。
典範是慢慢地轉的。
可以從人們的行動中察覺。甚麼行動？例如，對家庭成員所採取的行動。他們愛配偶嗎？他們對於配偶和子女，有終身的承諾嗎？他們會答應子女們，他們可以同時擁有父母親嗎？
而這些是很明顯的典範轉移。人們在不知不覺中，已經變了。人們都知道，過往的「日子」，已經不同。
比較之下，更加嚴重的典範轉移，是另外的一種。典範已經轉向於無知。(Ignorance)
人們以為，知識不再重要。甚麼問題，都可以在互聯網上找到答案。求知慾已經喪失。
世俗的快樂，聳動的小報，誘惑的廣告，性愛的影片，都能導向一種全封閉的典範。
就是這種典範鎖上了我們。我們看不到新的光線。而經濟下滑已經開始。
要再轉往另一種全新的典範，第一件事，就是開鎖。

How do paradigms shift？
How do paradigms shift？
…………………………………………Leechard
(Quest No.8232e 2011 0831 Wednesday)
I wonder, how many people know paradigm. And, how many will care to “shift” their paradigm?
Actually, this is a rather old term, may be more then 20 years. And I have been using it many times. Some times, I would use another term to replace it, I would rather say, “Thinking network” instead of “paradigms”
However, people still do not understand. May be it is not a daily use term, so people are not accustomed to it.
Why the term is not in the daily usage stock?
It is because, people are not aware that by shifting the paradigms, problems of economics will be solved. The approach towards knowledge will be changed then, and new insights will appear.
The first problem for paradigm is: What is “thinking”?
The old understanding is that, thoughts are in a line. For example, you first invented the locomotive, then a few years later, you invented the motor car, then the air plane, then the telephone, then the phonograph, etc. Items would come up one by one.
We believe we will be smarter in the line’s end.
However, the paradigm is not a line, it is a whole set of concepts and other elements. People are using whole sets of concept to think. We need not only one concept, but a whole set of concepts, ideas, feelings, etc.
I would say, a paradigm is a thinking network. The network is composed with millions of “concepts” and other elements. People in the same concept will think in more or less the same pattern. They will not have the same ideas always, but their thinking pattern will be similar.
People will like to compare the concept sets of some scientists, like Aristotle, Newton, Einstein and Stephen Hawking. But viewing angles could be philosophical. I think more influential were Moses, Jesus, Friedrich Nietzsche and Albert Camus.
In the time of Moses, major mindsets were law and retaliation. In Jesus, love. Jesus had brought in love as a general accepted way of life. But later philosophers like Nietzsche refused to believe there is God, they think life is meaningless and absurd, and they had brought materialism back to the modern world.
Once people think life is meaningless, they would seek secular pleasure instead of the comfort of the soul. No one can deny love, but they can forget love. In seeking secular pleasure, sets of concept will be changed again. In fact, people had not only forgotten love, but truth also. Curiosity, or the general desire of seeking knowledge had been reduced to the minimum. In the times of Benjamin Franklin, people are so eager to learn, they not only read, but do experiments always. But in the modern times, especially in Asia and Hong Kong, you can feel the difference immediately.
Mindsets are gradually changed in time.
It could be seen on people’s actions. For example, the actions against another family member:
Will they love their spouse? Do they have a life time commitment towards their children and spouse? Will they promise to their children, they can have their parents with them always?
And this is rather obvious paradigm shift, People had changed their minds in a certain among of time. Every body will say, it was not like that in the “old times”.
To compare with some not so obvious matters, paradigm can be shifted towards ignorance.
When people do not think knowledge is important, every thing could be found in the internet, you only need to type your question and answers will appear, and curiosity, or the desire of knowledge itself is disappeared.
Secular pleasure, tabloids, sensational ads, sex movies, all this can lead to a completely closed paradigm.
It is this approach towards knowledge locked our paradigms. We can not see things in a new light. And economics downturn is coming soon.
To shift into a new paradigm, first, we need to unlock ourselves.

How does qi heal？ 「氣」是怎樣治病的？
「氣」是怎樣治病的？
………………………………………………………李察
(問到底No.8231 2011 0830 Tuesday)
我的問題是，氣是怎樣治病的？今時今日，仍無人說得出箇中原理。這是很奇怪的。你明明感覺到了「氣」，但是，不知道其中真相。
中國人的研究步伐是太慢了。他們跟本未曾著力去做。如果中國人真的研究成功，氣就能帶來大量財富。
正是由於中國人自己未曾著力，就為全世界的外國人帶來了無限的「機遇」。我不會感覺奇怪，如果美國總統忽然宣佈，要在華盛頓建造一所中國醫藥大學。果如是，則美國人就會領導世界，真到下一個千禧。中國人真的是太慢了。而這就造成了「機遇」。
而美國人也花費太多錢去研究孔子了。在美國的著名學府，設立了無數的孔子研究機構，那是完全無用的。唯一的用處，可以使中國學者們的精力有地方虛耗。或者，中國人真是有希望回歸清朝的睡夢境界的。所以，用這些錢去研究「氣」，可能更加實際一些。因為，「氣」就是未來的「電」呢。
「氣」是怎樣治病的？
為甚麼氣到的時候，疾病會忽然消失？
很多人會告訴你各種事例。奇蹟不是只有一次，而是有百千萬次。雖然，我只能說說我的有限經驗。
有一次，我的右肩有點毛病。因為用錯了力，企圖抬起一塊很重的水坭。這肩頭痛得這樣利害，拿筷子也沒有力，寫字也不行。
骨科西醫也無法找出原因。只說是內裡的軟組織組織可能受傷，給了藥。但吃藥是完全無效的。忍受了幾個月，終於下了決心去針灸。只要幾次就好了。
但問題不在這裡。
問題是，百十千萬次的「奇蹟」事例，但西方醫藥界仍然忽略。他們仍在使用舊方法。
而這就是人們的「正常」做事方式。
甚麼「方式」呢？
我會說，要轉移一種「典範」，不是那麼容易的一回事呢。任何國家的總統，也不會輕易感動的。他們不會輕易興建甚麼中國醫藥大學的。

How does qi heal？
…………………………………………Leechard
(Quest No.8231 2011 0830 Tuesday)
I wish the readers could forgive my bad English here. I always hesitated to write in English. But I do wish some of the Zhuang zi ideas could reached outside the Chinese language limitation. However, language is but a bridge, once you have crossed the river, you can forget the bridge, though some bad English can be funny memory.
My question is: How does qi work? I wrongly spelled it as “chi”, now I realized it should be “qi”. However, no one could tell nowadays what is ‘qi”. It is a strange feeling you could felt it, but not knowing the real essence inside it.
The Chinese people are doing a slow work. They have not put in enough strength into the study. They will be real rich once they discovered the real qi. But now, it provides an opportunity for the rest of the world to probe for it. I will not feel strange if the President of the United States declared an Chinese medicine university be build in Washington, and I would definitely sure that the United States will still be in the lead in the next millennium. The Chinese are too slow, and that provides a chance.
American people have been putting too much money on the study of Confucianism. They have set up so many organizations in the Universities of the States, though it is completely useless except one thing, it could keep the Chinese talents busy working on it, and hoping that one day the Chinese could go back to Ching Dynasty and sleep again. And more practical thing, I would presume, is to use the money to study “qi”. It is the future electricity.
How does qi heal?
Why pains would suddenly gone if qi arrived?
Many people can tell their special experience. Miracles are performed not only once, but millions of times, though I can tell some or them out of my own experiences.
Once I had a pain on my right shoulder joint. It was because I had tried to lift a too heavy cement block. This pain was so strong, that I felt the right arm was weak always. I can not do many things, including to write with a pen, or using chop sticks. Orthopedic doctors had checked for me. No special reason was found, except they guess the tissues inside the bone structure was hurt somewhere. The problem lasted for a few months, and drugs are totally useless. Finally I decided to take up acupuncture. And it was healed after a few times of treatment.
And this is not the point.
The point is, millions of “miracles” had performed, and my orthopedic friends still ignored it. They are still using the old method.
And it is the “way” people doing things.
What “way”?
I would say, a different paradigm, is not so easily shifted. So the presidents of any country, are not so easily moved. They will not try to build a Chinese medicine university, anyway.

What is best for Steve Jobs to do now? 喬布斯最好做甚麼？
喬布斯最好做甚麼？
…………………………………………李察
(問到底No.8230 2011 0829 Monday)
喬布斯不幹了。有人十分關心他的健康。
李察希望趁此機會，談談中國醫藥的問題。李察猜想，如果他能轉向中國醫藥，他的生存機會會大得多。但是，問題並不在此。李察只想提出一點：中國式的思維方式，中國式的探索方式，全世界都應該緊密注視。
而這並非是說，中國人已經有了甚麼了不起的成就。他們可能有一點成就，但或者已經吹噓太多。或者，我們亦可猜想，中國人其實不知道甚麼事情正在發生，或者，他們一點都不知道。
但好奇心是控制不了的。
任何人，只要略曾一試，無論那是針灸或者氣功，或者是中國草藥，都會產生濃厚興趣。都想窺進去。看看裡面有甚麼。
如果你曾經試過，如果你曾經試過其中一個穴位，治好了某種病症，你就會有興趣知道，到底這整個針灸理論是甚麼。在人的身體裡，有無數穴位。如果你找到了其中的一個，你就會很想知道，到底這是甚麼一回事。
有的時候，連針也是不必要的。需要的只是一隻手指。 按摩到穴位裡去，就會感受迅時出現的能量。
此時，你就會發覺，氣是真實存在的，正在你的體內周流。何謂「氣」？許多人喜歡跟「電」比較。其實是不同的。
此後，就可能是你的第二階段探索。
第一階段是針刺。你是不需要知道任何事情的。甚麼穴位等等，與你不相干。醫生會為你尋找穴位，刺進去。你就會知道差別在那裡。
但氣功是屬於第二階段的。因為，你需要「學習」，才能夠感受。一旦有了「氣」的感覺，一旦你學會了召喚氣的能力，就好像第一次觸電那樣，你必定知道，你已經進入了一個超自然的科學範圍。而你的思想典範(paradigm)，就會開始轉移了。你開始進入另外的一個思想網絡了。
而這僅僅是開始。要進行全部的典範轉移，需要更多的探索研究。目前，僅僅是視點的轉換而已。
如前面所指出的，甚至是中國學者們自己，也不能夠把這些道理很清楚地說出來。
這裡，李察只能提出一點猜想。
猜想，在「人」的內裡，是必定有一個能量中心的。
就是這能量，推動心臟跳動，肺臟活動，或者腎臟啟動。沒有了這能量，或者能量的分佈不平均，都會有麻煩。
這能量是甚麼呢？
李察這樣猜想：「氣」只是外在的表現。為甚麼說，「氣」是外在的呢？因為，你能夠感受它。就像血壓、脈搏、等等，都是外在的。而內裡必定是有更深奧的事情。這就是生命最神秘的地方。生命是一種能量，但是，人們卻只能測量這能量的外在方面。能量出現，就有了我。能量消失，我就不見。這能量是有外在的表現形態的。有時好像一團火。就在丹田裡面燃燒。而且，這能量好像會動，流遍全身。
但能量流往何處呢?
有的理論以為，這能量好像一條按時刻走動的河。氣是會按時分秒年月日之不同而周流的。和日月星辰也有關係。但是，李察也相信，這些理論本身，也未必是絕對完備的。而且也太複雜，等閒不輕易了解。
還有另外一個大問題，就是平衡問題。
在中式醫學思維裡面，平衡是一件大事.
粗淺點看，這平衡是五種重要元素間的平衡：心、肝、脾、肺、腎。這五大元素，並不就是五種內臟。
它們只是五個能量中心的象徵。
猜想，這五大元素好像五個大水缸。氣就在這些水缸之間流動。有的水缸氣多些，有的氣少些。而難題只是在於，怎樣把氣召叫出來， 然後推往適當的地方。而這是可能練習得來的。很多人都能夠做得到。有的練習是「動功」，有的練習是「靜功」。或者，靜功是更加難一點，也有效一點。大約是因為，靜功是更能跟內在的能量溝通的。
以上只是物理問題。而化學問題也是同樣重要的。中國草藥能夠幫助人回復平衡。而中國草藥不是按化學性質分類的，是按它們的能量來源分類的。就是所謂的「歸經」。
中國人保持健康的方法，就是如此。
首先要注意的是「氣」。
跟著就是要保持平衡。
這些都是透過運動可能達致的。如果體質太弱不方便運動，那麼，草藥也是一個選擇。
但是，無論如何都要記住，「氣」是外在的。真正決定的，是內在的生命力。
我的內在生命力在那裡呢？
首先，生命力是天賦的。如果你有特殊天賦，誰也搶不去。只有你自己，可能把天賦搞失。
其次，生命力來自自己。如果天賦不足，自己是可能補足的。如何補足？有一件十分重要的事情，可能幫助你補足。那就是智慧。如果你有足夠的聰明，你會把自己的內在生命力鍛得更強。驅除病魔。
就是來到此處，哲學就變得十分有用了。要想提升智慧，需要知道多一點關於宇宙的知識，亦需要了解自己。一個全新的典範，一個結合了西方文化與中式文化的新文化，就會出現。只是請留意一點：中式文化(middle culture)是跟中國文化不同的。
正是這個原因，李察相信，西方其實是很需要來看看中方的。所謂「中方」，其實是一個很適當的名詞，去代表這一種文化。
What is best for Steve Jobs to do now?
By Leechard
Steve Jobs has quitted his job now. There are some concern about his health.
I would take this time to say something about Chinese medicine. I would guess, if he can take up the Chinese way of treatment, he might have a better chance to survive. But the point is not here. My point is, the Chinese way of thinking, or the Chinese way to explore the world, should be closely observed by the whole world.
It is not to say, whether the Chinese have or have not any real dedication to the modern science. They might have achieved something, or they are boosting too much. Or we may guess, the Chinese really did not know what is going on, or they did not know anything at all.
But the point is curiosity.
Any one who had tried a little bit, no matter that is acupuncture or chi kong, or the Chinese herbs, they will find it interesting. Most of the people would like to peep into that hole. To see what is going on there.
If you could feel one point of acupuncture, if you find the inserted needle could actually heal your pain, you will wish to know, what is the total theory about acupuncture. There are hundreds of acupuncture points in the human body, if you can find one, may be you will wish to know, what is the theory about that.
And some times, you need not a needle, you need only a finger, to massage into your acupuncture point, and you will feel the instant release of energy.
And then, you will find “chi” is actually there flowing around your body. What is chi? People would like to compare it with electricity always. But they are not the same kind of thing.
And there lies the second stage of your quest.
The first stage is the needle, which you do not need to know anything. The Chinese medicine doctor will do it for you. They will find the point, and insert the needle, and you will feel the difference. But Chi is the second stage. You need to “learn” to feel it. Once it is felt, once the energy is summoned by you, like the first electric shock, you will definitely know, you have entered a sphere of supernatural science. And your paradigm will be shifted then.
And that is only the beginning. To shift the whole paradigm need more study. Now, it is only a changed viewing angle.
As I have mentioned above, even the Chinese scholars themselves, can not explain it very clearly.
I can offer some of my personal guess only.
I guess that there must be a central source of energy in the Man. What is a Man? (In English, there is no word to express the proper concept of MAN, which is more then the human body, more then the external look of the body. It is the general description of one single unit of mankind.)
It’s this energy, pushes the heart to beat, and the lungs move, or kidney function. Without this energy, or the energy spread in an uneven way, then there will be trouble.
What is this energy then?
Chi itself, I would think, is the external form. Why external? Because you could feel it. Like the blood pressure, like the pulse, they are all external. Some thing more subtle must be there lying behind. It is the most secret part about life. Life is energy, but we can only measure the external behavior of the energy. This energy comes and we are here, gone and we are gone. But the energy has some external form. We can feel that the energy is like fire burning inside the stomach, and it can move, flowing to different parts of the human body.
But where does it go?
Some theories maintain that the flow is like a timed canal. It goes according to the time, the date, or even the year and the stars. But I think these theories are far from complete, and they are a bit too complicated, not easy to see it clearly.
And the other important issue is balance.
This is a very important issue in the Chinese system of medical thinking. The balance lies between five elements of the human. They can be named like heart, liver, pi, lung, and kidney. They are not the organs themselves, thought they bare the names. They are but symbols of the energy centers inside the man.
I would rather guess the five elements are like connected water tanks. The chi flows around them.
When the chi is uneven, then some tanks have more chi, and some have less. The problem is that whether you can summon the chi, push it towards the tank you want. By some very special way of exercises, most of the people can do that. Some of the exercises are in motion, and some are meditation. May be the meditation part is more subtle and more useful, as they can do directly into the inner part of the energy.
If this is physical, then some chemical thing could help to keep the balance. Chinese herbs can help to re-balance the five elements. And the herbs are classified not according to chemical analysis, but to the energy sources.
And this is the Chinese way to keep the Man a healthy Man.
First you try to control the chi.
Then you try to maintain the balance.
And that could be done by some kinds of exercises. And if you are too weak to do that, then the herbs could help a bit.
And above all, we should always remember, the chi is but the external form. The real difference is the inner form of life.
Where is my inner form of life?
First, it comes from heaven, if you have a very special gift, no one could take that away except yourself.
Second, it comes from the self. If the heaven gift is weak, then, one can always change it. Here something is very useful. That is wisdom. If you are wise enough, you can change your inner gift into a stronger position, thus healing every sickness.
It is to this point, that philosophy had involved. To have a better wisdom, one needs to know something about the universe, and the self. And it is only then, a new paradigm, a paradigm combining the western culture and the middle culture (not the east) will be emerged.
It is based on this, that I think it is advisable for the western talents to look into the middle culture, which is a proper name for the Chinese culture.

(明天問題:
…………………………………………李察
(問到底No.8230 2011 0829 Monday)
喬布斯不幹了。有人十分關心他的健康。
李察希望趁此機會，談談中國醫藥的問題。李察猜想，如果他能轉向中國醫藥，他的生存機會會大得多。但是，問題並不在此。李察只想提出一點：中國式的思維方式，中國式的探索方式，全世界都應該緊密注視。
而這並非是說，中國人已經有了甚麼了不起的成就。他們可能有一點成就，但或者已經吹噓太多。或者，我們亦可猜想，中國人其實不知道甚麼事情正在發生，或者，他們一點都不知道。
但好奇心是控制不了的。
任何人，只要略曾一試，無論那是針灸或者氣功，或者是中國草藥，都會產生濃厚興趣。都想窺進去。看看裡面有甚麼。
如果你曾經試過，如果你曾經試過其中一個穴位，治好了某種病症，你就會有興趣知道，到底這整個針灸理論是甚麼。在人的身體裡，有無數穴位。如果你找到了其中的一個，你就會很想知道，到底這是甚麼一回事。
有的時候，連針也是不必要的。需要的只是一隻手指。 按摩到穴位裡去，就會感受迅時出現的能量。
此時，你就會發覺，氣是真實存在的，正在你的體內周流。何謂「氣」？許多人喜歡跟「電」比較。其實是不同的。
此後，就可能是你的第二階段探索。
第一階段是針刺。你是不需要知道任何事情的。甚麼穴位等等，與你不相干。醫生會為你尋找穴位，刺進去。你就會知道差別在那裡。
但氣功是屬於第二階段的。因為，你需要「學習」，才能夠感受。一旦有了「氣」的感覺，一旦你學會了召喚氣的能力，就好像第一次觸電那樣，你必定知道，你已經進入了一個超自然的科學範圍。而你的思想典範(paradigm)，就會開始轉移了。你開始進入另外的一個思想網絡了。
而這僅僅是開始。要進行全部的典範轉移，需要更多的探索研究。目前，僅僅是視點的轉換而已。
如前面所指出的，甚至是中國學者們自己，也不能夠把這些道理很清楚地說出來。
這裡，李察只能提出一點猜想。
猜想，在「人」的內裡，是必定有一個能量中心的。
就是這能量，推動心臟跳動，肺臟活動，或者腎臟啟動。沒有了這能量，或者能量的分佈不平均，都會有麻煩。
這能量是甚麼呢？
李察這樣猜想：「氣」只是外在的表現。為甚麼說，「氣」是外在的呢？因為，你能夠感受它。就像血壓、脈搏、等等，都是外在的。而內裡必定是有更深奧的事情。這就是生命最神秘的地方。生命是一種能量，但是，人們卻只能測量這能量的外在方面。能量出現，就有了我。能量消失，我就不見。這能量是有外在的表現形態的。有時好像一團火。就在丹田裡面燃燒。而且，這能量好像會動，流遍全身。

What is yet to be done by Steven Jobs?
喬布斯沒有做甚麼？
………………………………………………………李察
(問到底No.8228 2011 0827 Saturday)
喬布斯做了很多事情。但有一件重要的事，他沒有做。
自從有了互聯網之後，人類就失去了私人空間。我們已經不再自由。在互聯網裡，是沒有秘密的。每句話，每行字，每個標點，都可能被監看，甚至修改。人的思維，常常都是和互聯網掛上的。很少思想是沒有掛上去的。所以，很少思想是不被監視的，或不被操縱的。
在各種勢力之下，作為個人，是很難自我保護的。有勢力的人，很容易操縱沒有勢力的人。電話被監聽，電郵被閱讀。
我們可能創造一種安全的互聯網嗎？一種可能保持私人空間的互聯網？一種可能保障思想自由的互聯網？
此刻，喬布斯已經走了。這一個工作，要另外的人去做了。誰能創造未來的p-phone? p-pad? 或者 peternet?(p 就是private的意思)
What is yet to be done by Steve Jobs?
By Leechard
Steve Jobs has done a lot. But he has missed one important thing.
Ever since we have the internet, we have lost our privacy. Or put it in another way, we are not free anymore. There are no secret in the internet. Every word, every line, every punctuation, can be easily monitored, or even changed. And all our thougts has been hooked up into the internet. Seldom is a thought not connected into the internet, thus, seldom is a thought not monitored, or easily manipulated
The individual can never protect themselves against powers. People with power can easily control people without power. Phones hacked, emails read. Freedom is never as free as before.
Can we create a safe internet? An internet can really keep private, and thus protecting our free flow of thoughts?
Now Steve Jobs has gone. It might be the job for another soul. Who can create a p-phone? p-pad? Or peternet? (p stands for private)

(問到底No.8227 2011 0826 Friday)
消息傳來，說喬布斯終於辭職了。這是傷感的一刻。很難制止自己不去想，或者美國真的是衰落了。少了一位天才，不會真的把美國推往下坡，但這仍是一個警告訊號。直覺的人會知道，美國不會像從前一般光彩了。
這裡是三個問題。因為一種幼稚的想法，很想讓喬布斯看見這裡的意見，就試著把問題中英文並列出來了。又或者親愛的讀者們也是這樣想的。請試試看，用你自己的方法，把這種意見傳送給他。這是有點意思的呢。
希望把問題分為三天討論。
第一天：誰能夠代替喬布斯？
第二天：喬布斯沒有做甚麼？
第三天：喬布斯今日可以做甚麼？
x x x
第一個問題：誰可以代替喬布斯？
當然是沒有人可以代替喬布斯。這是不用許多時間，就可以証明的。一顆靈心，就是一顆靈心。靈心是不可能被替代的。別的人，或者可以作別的事。但別的人，卻不可能有跟喬布斯相同的思路。
何謂「靈心」（或「靈魂」）？真是需要細心思索，才能知道的。或者就能看見，所謂「靈魂」，意思是甚麼。更能知道，為甚麼靈魂是不能仿效、不能照抄，更不能模擬的。
因為，表面的創意和思想之類，都只不過是靈魂的外在表現。意念是可以照抄的。但靈魂不可以照抄。就好像駕駛汽車。你可以跟隨前面的車前進。但是，你卻永遠不可能知道，前面的車，將會駛往何處。
有人以為，只要找來一位適當的行政高手，就能代替喬布斯。但他們看不見一點：喬布斯是當今電子技術的領導者，而此刻，方向已經消失。喬布斯那內在的指南針，那內在的方向儀，已經消失作用。前面帶路的車，忽然消失不見了。
或者，有其他人仍可以領路的。但已經不再是喬布斯的路了。
Who Can Replace Steve Jobs?
By Leechard
News spread last night that Steve Jobs has quitted. It was a sad moment. I can not stop to think, that America is really coming to a decline. Missing one genius will not put America downward, but that is really a warning signal. People with intuition will know, America will not be as brilliant as before.
I have three questions here, and I would like to put it in both English and Chinese. For I do wish that someday, this opinion can reach him, or may be my dear readers can help to do so. Try Your way to let him know the idea, it is important.
I would put the three questions in three days.
First day: Who can replace Steve Jobs?
Second day: What has yet to be done by Steve Jobs?
Third day: What is best for Steve Jobs to do now?
x x x
First Question: Who can replace Steve Jobs?
It will not take very long time to prove this. No one can replace him. A soul is a soul. A soul is never to be replaced. Some other people can do some other things, but some other people can never go into the same of Jobs’ way of thoughts.
We need to have some awareness here. May be we can see what is in a “soul”, and why the thoughts are not so easily copied or imitated or even learned.
Because, thoughts and ideas are but the external outcome of a soul. People can copy ideas, but not the soul. Its like driving. You can follow the car in front of you. But you can never know where it is going.
Some people argue about who can be the best CEO for Jobs, but they have missed the point: A special genius has been guiding the way for the recent micro technologies, now that the direction is gone. The inner compass or secret GPS is not working anymore. The car leading the way is suddenly gone missing. Some other people or some other soul could go some other way, but never Jobs’ way again.

It will not take very long time to prove this. No one can replace him. A soul is a soul. A soul is never to be replaced. Some other people can do some other things, but some other people can never go into the same of Jobs’ way of thoughts.
We need to have some awareness here. May be we can see what is in a “soul”, and why the thoughts are not so easily copied or imitated or even learned.
Because, thoughts and ideas are but the external outcome of a soul. People can copy ideas, but not the soul. Its like driving. You can follow the car in front of you. But you can never know where it is going.
Some people argue about who can be the best CEO for Jobs, but they have missed the point: A special genius has been guiding the way for the recent micro technologies, now that the direction is gone. The inner compass or secret GPS is not working anymore. The car leading the way is suddenly gone missing. Some other people or some other soul could go some other way, but never Jobs’ way again.

物質和靈性，因何趨向相反？
物質和靈性，因何趨向相反？
………………………………………………………李察
(問到底No.8226 2011 0825 Thursday)
附圖是昨文的插圖。只是因為昨天太忙，未及繪出。其實，許多時候，用一張小小圖表，更能表達意思。
相信，這也就是人類文化發展的最大特色。
物質豐盛的時候，就欠缺了思維的動力。只有經歷最艱困環境的人，能夠有充份的智慧，面向未來。好比在富裕生活中的大熊貓。起居飲食，都有人充份照料。連性生活，亦有一整隊的工作人員侍候。這樣的被保護動物，是不能適應叢林中的競爭生活的。是很容易滅亡的。
只有在艱苦中生活的人，知道甚麼叫做死亡，甚麼叫做危機。這樣的生活，才是充滿動力，而且十分有意義。
人類文化之中，智慧都來自貧窮，而不是來自智慧。就算是釋迦，他貴為王子，但竟能自願走進貧窮之中。他是充份自覺的。但是，如果他沒有了貧窮的外在環境，他也無處可走。釋迦的智慧，也是來自絕對貧困。
部份富裕人仕，也能十分自覺這一點。但這少數人，也必定是出身於貧窮的。他的動力，來自貧困的昔日，而不是富裕的今日。

人類是有希望的嗎？
人類是有希望的嗎？
………………………………………………………李察(問到底No.8225 2011 0824 Wednesday)
每次，李察在中環的街道上走，都不自然的有一種感覺。有時，會想起去逝多時的老父。他那時，是在康樂大廈工作的。我會不自覺的想起，他在中環的路上，和無數其他白領階級挨在一起走的樣子是怎樣的。他最喜歡穿的一件白襯衣，今天，李察仍然記得。連那襯衣的質料，也分明在目。
這是一種傷感。但是，也是必定這樣的。一代一代的人逝去，而街道仍只是那幾條。
其實，這也是很平凡的一種感覺。而且是很難超脫的一種感覺。如果真能超脫，就會想到，五百年後，這相同的中環街道，還會不會是一樣？
因此想起的一個問題是：人類是有希望的嗎？到底「人」這一個物種，在未來的命運如何？
到底人是會走向光明，還是走向毀滅？
我們每個人都可以見証的種種不良現象，會是永遠如此嗎？如果人真是愈來愈反智，愈來愈唯物，愈來愈向著物質的錯誤目標，人還是有希望的嗎？
我們正在兩種相反的現象中矛盾著。
一方面是物質湧流。二次大戰之後，人們的生活，的確是愈來愈好。社會是向前進的。只有非洲是愈來愈差。軍事科技，被非洲獨裁者掌握，控制人民更加得心應手，社會不進反退。但亞洲和歐美，都是進步的。印度有進步，中國人擺脫了文革的陰影，同樣是有進步。
但另一方面，人的物質享受愈多，思想卻是愈退。自私和反智，使人們更拒絕思考，只沈醉於物質爭奪。
如果用圖表顯示，這是兩條較剪狀的曲線。物質的一條向上，靈性的一條向下。兩條線， 愈走愈遠，差距愈來愈大。
如果世界經濟忽然崩潰，這向上的一條物質之線，就會轉而向下。而人們亦會漸漸醒來，靈性的一條線，又會再一次向上走。
如果這種想法接近事實，那麼，我們就可以知道，經濟衰退是必然的，只是不知道時間而已。人們將會在衰退中甦醒，智慧向前跨步，那就是人類的希望。

為甚麼人們喜歡「鬥爭」？
為甚麼人們喜歡「鬥爭」？
………………………………………………………李察(問到底No.8224 2011 0823 Tuesday)
因為：「鬥爭」是很輕鬆的，很愉快的，是不需要用腦的。
因為：「鬥爭」是遊戲，是很好玩的。也不需要努力研究甚麼路向，只要針對「鬥爭對象」，發射彈藥，無論事情能不能夠解決，必定獲得收獲。
因為：「鬥爭」是有利益的。鬥爭勝利的一方，可以獲得權力。有了權力，就是有了一切。
只有一種人不喜歡「鬥爭」。愛看風景的人，不會喜歡「鬥爭」。
何解？
因為，在拳賽圈子裡的人，永遠不會留意窗外風景的。無論外面發生甚麼事情，他都不會在意。他只會盯緊「敵人」，一秒鐘都不放鬆。他那有時間看風景呢？他全無時間。他也沒有時間思考。
所以：喜歡看風景的人，不會喜歡鬥爭。
而香港許多人都是不喜歡看風景的。因為，香港的傳媒，香港的政客，香港的學生，已經找到了很好的鬥爭對象。
這對象，就是「香港政府」。
拳賽已經開鑼了。
看見有人倒下，是很刺激的。這才是「鬥爭」的真正趣味呢。
