“My religion defines who I am. And I’ve been a practicing Catholic my
whole life,” said Vice President Joe Biden in 2012. “I accept my church’s
position on abortion as…doctrine. Life begins at conception. …I just
refuse to impose that on others.”

发帖数: 25262 | 12 别让爱成为孩子的负担
戴维·布鲁克斯
如今的育儿有两大关键特征。第一，现在的孩子得到空前多的夸赞。桃乐丝·帕克(
Dorothy Parker)曾经开玩笑说，美国的孩子不是抚养大的，是激励大的。他们得到了
饮食、庇护与喝彩。这话在今天更是无比正确。人们不断对孩子说他们如何如何特别。
第二个关键特征是孩子受到了前所未有的锻造磨砺。在精英体制下，竞争空前激烈。父
母比以往更担心孩子能否进入优秀大学，踏上职场坦途。比起以前几代人，现在的父母
会花更多的时间对孩子的技能和履历进行投入，开车送他们去训练和排练。
这两大倾向——更多的夸赞和更多的磨砺——是紧密结合的。孩子沉溺在爱中，但那爱
是有指向的。父母向孩子倾注无限的感情，但那是精英至上的感情。其中掺杂着帮助孩
子取得世俗成功的欲望。
而这时常会表现为操纵欲。父母无意中用他们的微笑和皱眉作了向导，让孩子往他们认
为可以通往成功的行为发展。孩子努力学习、训练、得第一名、进入名牌大学，会让父
母心中充满欣喜。
这样的爱是基于价值判断的。它不是单纯的“我爱你”。它是“我爱那个在我的平衡木
上不掉下来的你。只要你在上面，我会给你无尽的赞扬和体贴”。

它庞大的不可抗拒的精密
令我晕眩；那无比平滑的轨迹

然后笔直地

因为它的轨迹是那么天衣无缝 —
衔接是那么自然，步伐是那么灵动，
那么沉稳；仿佛不在我们的
宇宙之内：微妙，洒脱，
飘逸进我的灵魂。
于是我不再能听见
风声 — 于是宇宙间不再有风 — 于是
宇宙不再有尽头，空旷无比，
而我在其中沿着光滑的曲线漫步。
永生不死，永生不死。主宰一切的
太阳永生不死。坚定不移的旋转永生不死。
