公平的國度在哪？

最近聽到英國女歌手Jem的一首歌，叫做「They」。歌詞如下：

Who made up all the rules

We follow them like fools

Believe them to be true

Don’t care to think them through



And I’m sorry so sorry

I’m sorry it’s like this

I’m sorry so sorry

I’m sorry we do this



And it’s ironic too

Coz what we tend to do

Is act on what they say

And then it is that way



And I’m sorry so sorry

I’m sorry it’s like this
I’m sorry so sorry

I’m sorry we do this



Who are they

And where are they

And how can they possibly

know all this

Who are they

And where are they

And how can they possibly

know all this



Do you see what I see

Why do we live like this

Is it because it’s true

that ignorance is bliss



Who are they

And where are they

And how do they

know all this

And I’m sorry so sorry

I’m sorry it’s like this



Do you see what I see

Why do we live like this

Is it because it’s true

that ignorance is bliss



And who are they

And where are they

And how can they

know all this

And I’m sorry so sorry

I’m sorry we do this

直覺Jem是在反問上帝或擁有權力的人，為什麼世界會是這樣？Jem只是說「They」，所以她實際是問誰，我沒有確實的把握。倒是，當我發現世界是如此的 不公平：自己吃了虧沒有人能幫你；自己滿身傷害，傷害你的卻活得自在（諸如此類的例子太多，實在不能盡錄），每次深刻反省時，都會有Jem的疑問與感嘆： Who are they? Where are they? I’m sorry, so sorry, I’m sorry it’s like this.

我想，如果這個They是人類的話，人類設定的規則通常都有問題，現世的人平安和平嗎？我真的不見得。如果這個They是上帝的話，那為什麼人類仍像個笨蛋似？因為上帝定的律不在世上。正確點來說，人類有其自身的虧缺，不能實踐上帝定的律。所以我相信，真正公平的國度應該在天國。
