大義之前，黑白不容顛倒

當全世界驚悉中國四川省發生8級大地震，傷亡慘重的時候，所有具有良知的人們都陷入悲痛之中。同種有難，同情並施以援手是人類道德的底線。

然而，2008年五月22日，美國的藝人Sharon Stone卻在公共場合評論說這地震災害是“非常有趣的”，……，“我想，當你待人不好時，壞事就發生在你身上，這不是報應嗎？”，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...”

這種冷血評論，立即招致全世界良知的譴責。迫使這位冷血藝人隨後道歉。

令人不可思議的是，少數海外華人，發表所謂“中國人, 讓我們尊重人家的心腦自由”的怪論。居然還有人留言支持，說什麼要“祈禱大家都有一顆包容平和的心”。

此類奇思怪論，本來不值一駁，然而，事關人類道德底線，不得不駁。這是什麼“心腦自由”？當有人侮辱和踐踏生命尊嚴的時候，良知的譴責難道有錯了？反而成為“不尊重人家的心腦自由”了？須知，袒護無道就是無道。

不管信什麼宗教，什麼言論自由的準則，人類道德底線是不能逾越的。大義之前，黑白不容顛倒。
