大义之前，黑白不容颠倒

当全世界惊悉中国四川省发生8级大地震，伤亡惨重的时候，所有具有良知的人们都陷入悲痛之中。同种有难，同情并施以援手是人类道德的底线。

然而，2008年五月22日，美国的艺人Sharon Stone却在公共场合评论说这地震灾害是“非常有趣的”，……，“我想，当你待人不好时，坏事就发生在你身上，这不是报应吗？”，原文如下：

Well you know it was very interesting because at first, you know, I am not happy about the ways the Chinese were treating the Tibetans because I don’t think anyone should be unkind to anyone else. And so I have been very concerned about how to think and what to do about that because I don’t like that. And I had been this, you know, concerned about, oh how should we deal with the Olympics because they are not being nice to the Dalai Lama, who is a good friend of mine.

And all these earthquake and stuff happened and I thought: Is that karma, when you are not nice that bad things happen to you?

And then I got a letter, from the Tibetan Foundation that they want to go and be helpful. And that made me cry. And they ask me if I would write a quote about that and I said, “I would.” And it was a big lesson to me that some times you have to learn to put your head down and be of service even to people who are not nice to you. And that’s a big lesson for me...”

这种冷血评论，立即招致全世界良知的谴责。迫使这位冷血艺人随后道歉。

令人不可思议的是，少数海外华人，发表所谓“中国人, 让我们尊重人家的心脑自由”的怪论。居然还有人留言支持，说什么要“祈祷大家都有一颗包容平和的心”。

此类奇思怪论，本来不值一驳，然而，事关人类道德底线，不得不驳。这是什么“心脑自由”？当有人侮辱和践踏生命尊严的时候，良知的谴责难道有错了？反而成为“不尊重人家的心脑自由”了？须知，袒护无道就是无道。

不管信什么宗教，什么言论自由的准则，人类道德底线是不能逾越的。大义之前，黑白不容颠倒。
