生命太珍貴了!雖然有人可以為愛情或自由拋棄它,但說真的,我做不來。更何況我知道一隻螞蟻的價值都遠勝於一艘太空梭,因為集合全球頂尖的科學家,目前依然無法用無機物創造出一隻會動的螞蟻(連一顆單細胞都做不來)。更不用說造一隻有群性,能判別敵友,能自己回家的螞蟻了。至於你我的生命價值可用什麼來衡量呢?
將人的生命價值等同於他所擁有的物質財富價值,是工商業為自身蓬勃的利益刻意營造的幻象。事實上,小孩子、修行人、小狗都能向我們展示即使僅有極微薄的物質財富,依然可以樂不可支地肯定自身存在的價值。光活著本身就有高於一切的地位,「就算賺到了全世界,失去了生命,又有什麼意義?」這句話並不限於基督徒才能懂,一般人也不笨,大都了解生命的可貴,但僅限於「自己的」生命,至於惡鄰、敵人、生物的生命就不免嫌他活太長了。
生命在做什麼?
目前我們最好的化學師依然無法從臭泥土裡提煉清爽的各種花香,也無法從中變出龐雜多樣的微妙色彩,但小草能。
我們最新的科技依然無法將一堆乾草丟進攪拌器,加入酵素,就變成香醇的乳汁,但乳牛能。
ㄧ團團黑色的泥土是怎樣讓招潮蟹從比沙粒還小的個體,變成色彩繽紛,機警又好鬪?這是永遠挖不完的謎。
生命到處都在展現人做不來的神蹟,若要問「哪裡有神蹟?」還不如問「哪裡沒有神蹟?」到處是、到處都是。上帝的恩寵並不是少數自大狂所說的只給某個特定物種,它不因鯨魚體大而尊貴;也不因細菌體小就卑賤,每個生命適情適性地謀生,文蛤做不來蚊子的工作,水鴨同樣無法取代水筆仔,彼此相依為命,共生共榮。
拿碩大的水泥塊去換無數生物的生命,比拿黃金去換同體積的煤炭還愚蠢。人要透過怎樣的學習才能如此愚蠢只看得見錢,卻完全看不見生命呢?只須徹底否定生物有生命有靈魂,有自身存在價值即可。這點我們把自己教育得很好,因此才能進一步地不把人當人。在軍人眼中人是炮灰、在老闆眼中人是工具、在政客眼中人是階梯、在商人眼中人是吐鈔機,把人形容成細胞、齒輪、螺絲釘或條碼,都還算客氣。因為許多人經過你身旁連看你一眼都覺得浪費,你就像透明的風,近乎什麼也不是。
我們為了一些特定用途一路踐踏生命而去,落得我們亦被某種目的踐踏得毫無生命尊嚴。這是活著就在進行的輪迴,不必等到死後!

Life is such precious thing! Some people would discard it for the sake of love or freedom, and to be honest, I cannot do this. Moreover, I know that a value of an ant is far more than that of a space shuttle. Because so far, it is impossible to create a living ant with inorganic materials (not even one single cell) even having the best scientists collaborating together. Not to mention creating a ant that is of bureaucracy, possesses judgment and is able to returning to home. What could we evaluate our lives?

It is an illusion intentionally created for profits by those industry and commerce practitioners that the value of one’s live is equal to the material and fortune value he possesses. In fact, children, monks, puppies all display us the truth that with very little of material fortune one could still ensure the value of being happily. Being alive is already more important than anything. “What will matter if you earn the whole world while you lose the life?” This saying is not only understood by Christians. Everyman is not that stupid not to understand the preciousness of life. However, he only values “his own” life while the life of those hateful neighbors, enemies and other creatures might be too long to live.

What is life doing?
So far, our best chemists still cannot refine fresh floral fragments from the stinky mud and cannot transform variations of delicate colors, either. Grass does.

Out latest technologies still cannot throw hay into blenders with enzyme to make mellow milk. Dairy cattle do.

How could round masses of dark soil make fiddler crabs from tiny individuals smaller than sand grains into colorful grow-up with a smart and aggressive nature? This is an enigma that we could never finish digging.

Life shows miracles that men cannot reach everywhere. Rather than asking “Where has miracles?” we’d better ask “where has no miracle?” The answer is everywhere we see miracles. God’s mercy is not for few specific species as some egomanias say. It won’t be of dignity for being as big as a whale; it won’t be lowly for being as tiny as a bacteria. Each life lives as it is meant to be. A Clam cannot act what a mosquito does, and a teal cannot replace a kandelia. We all depend on no one but with each other. We live and let lived.

Taking giant cement blocks to trade numerous lives is more stupid than trading coals with gold in same volume. What kind of learning and studying it is that men are made to be so stupid that he can only see money and no life at all? I think it is done by a total denial of the truth that all living creatures have life and soul as well as the value of being. We really educate ourselves this way very well so that we could further not regard human begins as beings. In a soldier’s eye, men are equal to cannon fodders. In a boss’s eye, men are equal to tools. In politicians’ eye, men function as ladder to step over while men look like ATM in many businessmen’s eye. It is courteous enough to describe men as cell, gear wheel, screw or bar code. Because there are many people won’t take a look at you when passing by you. You are like an invisible wind and nearly as nothing, in their eye.

We abuse life for particular functions and we end out being abused so much that we lost the dignity of our life for certain purposes. This is transmigration while we are still alive and no need to wait till we die!!
