高中部作文比賽「生命的啟示」優勝作品

                第一名         高二4陳俊宇

　　有沒有一種絢麗的煙花，能永駐世間綻放色彩？有沒有一幅鐫刻青春的風景，能教美的驚嘆寫入永恆？有沒有一首無句點的詩篇，注入一切感動肺腑的時時刻刻？傳唱千古而不朽，不正是那生命的謳歌嗎？在平靜如水的夜晚赫然激起震天動地的旋風，啊！那不正是一隻桀驁不馴的鷹嗎？飛翔展翅如煙花，此時此景雖然短暫，卻也值得稱為永遠，因為這正是一首為生命一搏的激盪下，令人心中掀起波瀾的詩篇啊！

　　生命之頌總是那麼激動地敲響著人心，看見秋楓落葉，敗草殘枝，會油然而生蕭瑟蒼涼的慨嘆，惋惜著人生如白駒過隙，忽然而已；但自敗草中發現鮮花，又不得不為花兒的堅毅不屈而掌聲喝采，「落花不是無情物，化作春泥更護花」，生命是任重道遠的循環，萬物各取其用，卻又肩負各自的責任，於是，地球開始不停地轉動，要把陽光分享到世界的每一寸土地上，因為每一個生命都值得光照的滌洗，在這生生不息的世界，萬物因此而美好。

　　生命的來來往往就這麼樣地進行在每分每秒，往來得頻繁，但仔細檢閱每份獨一無二的故事，故事卻又如此的不凡、深刻，尤其生命與生命相遇時，往往會磨擦出更多撼動人心的火花。譬若非洲之父史懷哲醫生，毅然決然選擇放棄世人以為的幸福生活，選擇去擁抱每一雙非洲人民渴望的眼神。殊不知，他久居這塊黑暗大陸四十餘年，正是為了成就更多的幸福。一個人的快樂不是幸福，史懷哲醫生獻上了自己的一生，正因為他想和更多的人共享幸福，我想若人的生命裡沒有活出這樣的愛，那一個人的生命會更顯得孤獨寂寞吧！生命中璀璨迷人的價值一直都存在，無論是分享幸福的慈善家、果敢求真的科學家、為國為民的政治家......等，無不是犠牲了自己的年華，要為社會帶來喜悅，讓世間脫去苦難的衣裳，蛻去哀愁的鉫鎖，褪去黑暗的顏色，要用生命掙出令人印象深刻的一道虹彩。

　　許是有人以人生短暫為由，行揮霍生命之實。但這樣只會造成諸多不幸，凸顯心靈空虛罷了。曩惜曾因周遭親友的離世，對生命的價值產生了茫然：既然每個人都有盡頭，那呱呱墜地至老身腐朽的這段時間又算什麼？總以為死後便是一了百了，和世界再也沒了瓜葛，讀到一位日本作家的文字後才明瞭，事實絕非如此。話是這樣說的：「死不是生的對極，而是包含在生的裡面。」這話告訴了我，世上總是人來人往，莫要過問自己帶走了什麼，且反問自己可曾留下了什麼？人不是死了就算了，逝者會以某種形式活在生者的心中，帶有某些層面的影響。而是何種形式的活、何種層面的影響，卻是由逝者生前付予的。生命－無論生或死－都是相互影響的，這正是生命沉重，卻也彰顯其其無價的部分。

　　印度詩人泰戈爾有云：「讓生燦如夏花，死美如秋葉。」既然人生是無常且有盡頭，就讓我們在走到終點前能緊握著當下的每一刻。剎那、永恆，存在的價值全然操之在己，擱淺的鯨魚尚且會努力為生命搏鬥，憧憬那海的湛藍，更何況是我們人呢？生命感動的故事、不朽的真諦、永存的詩篇在我們的生活中俯拾即逝，別拒絕任何一份內心澎湃的樂章，讓我們好好珍惜、把握、讚嘆這寶貴的－生命！

　　生命是一種「釀」的哲學。

　　簡媜曾經在她的散文集（水問）中闡釋生命的意義：「每個人的一生都是一次義無反顧『釀』的過程」，人的出生就好比橄欖初次在地中海飽暖的柔陽下，釋放出新生的綠意，望著湛藍的海和自由的海鷗，說有多暢快就有多暢快。然而橄欖的一生註定是要精采動人的，於是橄欖不安於橄欖樹上一個太過安逸的位置，在農人的手下進入它不平凡的一生。

　　橄欖剛摘下來時都是鮮嫩欲滴的，或許有一些會直接被送去市場兜售，但大部分的橄欖都會走上痛苦又美好的「釀」。釀造者在甕中放入橄欖，並灑下各式各樣的香料，只見鹽呀、糖呀、醋呀伏貼在橄欖嫩綠色的表皮，準備慢慢地吞噬它的心靈。由於濃度的梯度，使得橄欖得將它最寶貴的水送出體外，一天、兩天，一年、兩年，橄欖逐漸皺縮，在這艱辛的過程中，橄欖甚至忘記了初生的喜悅、忘記了曾經擁有美好的藍天、忘記了初衷，只是痛苦地想逃跑，想逃避所有面對的挫折。但是它沒有，或許又是短暫的一瞬曾經有過那種想法，「我要戰勝它！」橄欖還是走過了重重痛苦、挫折的挑戰。現在，當小女孩打開甕蓋時，會驚嘆一聲：「好美的橄欖！」當她咬下第一口時，她的臉上會洋溢幸福的容顏，那是橄欖用生命換來的最棒的讚賞。

　　這就是「釀」驚人的地方。

　　橄欖雖失去了水，但每日每日，日夜不止息地，它將鹽和糖的智慧全沒入體內，滋養著曾經受過的傷害，不信邪地奮力要和現實搏鬥；雖然曾經痛不欲生，但換來的是更成熟、更偉大的思想；雖然曾經在香料的操弄下暈頭轉向，看不到未來，擁有的只是渺茫的一絲信念，縱使如此，橄欖熬過所有眼前的困難，在眾人的目睹下綻放出重生的喜悅，那是痛苦換來的肉體的成長，是挫折換來心靈的提升。當我們看到橄欖看似經歷無數風霜、皺縮的表皮，我們會稱之為「美」，因為生命換來的美最動人。

　　生命是什麼？生命是一條蜿蜒向上的山路，有山崩、有落石、有不測風雲，但也有湖泊、有瀑布，生命存在的意義在於攫取沿路美好的風景、面對每一次山重水複，並登上最高峰向下望曾經擁有的一切。生命是什麼？或許是頻挖土壤汲取養分的蚯蚓，找尋持續生命的基本物質；或許是剛上小學、頑童的笑靨，享受生命的樂趣；或許是橄欖「釀」的一生，將生命的意義施展得淋漓盡致；或許是李煜的詩詞，「恰似一江春水向東流」不僅感動了當世的人們，在李煜離開後，仍然維持了好幾千年的生命、到現在仍然感動你我，我想文字可以說是生命的極致，不僅到今日，它的熱血還會持續到很久很久以後，再次將濃濃的感動貫注在我們子孫的血液裡。原來生命的形式無所不有！

　　白楊樹在湖面上澄澈的倒影給了龍應台文學的啟示；「沙漠玫瑰」，一種遇水則發、離水則乾，能存活很久的苔蘚植物，讓我們不會盲目地只看到事物的當下，而能仔細思考事物的歷史和源頭，而有更全面、更縝密的思考邏輯；橄欖「釀」的哲學告訴我如何去面對每一次陰影，更讓我知道陰影之後陽光的甘甜；文字和書本讓我終於明白生命是沒有盡頭的，而不再畏懼死亡；今年臺北舉辦的「聽障奧運」，選手們各個精采動人的演出，原來有生命的地方就有希望、有生命的地方就有力量！

　　生命的啟示無所不在，只決定於我們願不願意用生命的熱忱去發現、去相信這一切。生命的啟示無所不在，一顆橄欖就是一場生命的交響樂，奏入心中。生命的啟示無所不在，「驀然回首，那人卻在燈火闌珊處。」

　　看！那自信的野馬奔醒了草地的雀躍，閒適的游魚盪起了晶瑩的水光；聽！那枝梢的鳥兒正歌詠生命的美好，林蔭的鳴蟬正鼓舞對生命的熱忱與喜悅。毛毛蟲以化蝶為夢想，蕊苞冀盼著綻放的剎那，生命，充盈了期待和希望，蘊含了許多未知的可能。每個生命都各具天賦，都各有屬於自己的一片天。

　　曾經，一個靜謐的梅雨季，一隻飛蟻晃進我的房間。鼓動著溼淋淋的雙翅，振盪著振盪著，振盪著熹微而嘈雜的聲響。倏地晃落我的書面，倏地礙擾我的思緒，我一氣之下，竟把它捏死了！忽然，我深感懊悔。生命，生命，竟如此脆弱，一隻手就這樣結束了它。或許它溼得一身難受，或許它在向我求救。對不起！我忽視了生命的可貴，我好希望能夠幫它擦拭乾淨，好希望能夠看見它再次徜徉天際。生命，生命，多麼難得而可貴啊！

　　我深深體悟到每個生命的獨特性，每個生命都應予以尊重與愛惜。但有些人卻不珍惜自己的生命，一股輕生的念頭斷絕了他的未來。你要知道：生命始於精卵的複雜機率，是在父母辛勤呵護照料下，得以誕生。一路以來，從呱呱墜地到牙牙學語，即使歷經風風雨雨，你終安然度至今日，不是嗎？所以，切莫因為一次打擊就萌生輕生之念，那樣不僅辜負眾人對你的關愛，更對不起你自己的生命！

　　雖然，生命總有生老病死，但那都是一個學習的歷程。「我們不能控制生命的長度，但我們能掌握生命的寬度。」死雖為生的終點，但死也是生的起點啊！在這生死之間，是一趟實踐與蛻變的旅程，像那野馬、那游魚、那鳴鳥，它們正在拓寬生命的可能。因為它們知道：生命好似一齣舞台劇，不求時長只求精彩，你要發揮自己的潛能，舞出自我，感動更多更多的人。

　　既然生命是一齣舞台劇，那麼旁人即為觀眾。我們要用尊重、感恩的心，去欣賞每一個不平凡的生命，去聆賞每一個生命精彩的旅程。其中，蘊藏許多生命的啟示，深值我們效仿與學習。生命，多麼熱烈、多麼美好、多麼令人動容，它正在譜奏著躍動的音符，每一拍都彈唱著不一樣的啟示。你聽見了嗎？

As a teenager, what can you do to prepare yourself

to be a responsible citizen?

第一名 高三４ 吳張禹

As the keen competitiveness soared rapidly in our society, the sudden development of technology, transportations, mass media were like tsunamis, crushing into our lives. Teenagers undoubtedly will become the generation to face and adjust to this whole new world--global village. Only when we are armed with all kinds of skills and a full preparation can we embrace our future world, instead of falling victim to its ever-changing pace.

As a teenager, firstly, we should take responsibilities. Since we are the backbones of our country, our shoulders are our faiths, to bear any difficulties. That does not necessarily mean we shouldn’t make mistakes. “To err is human; to forgive divine”, but to reflect on ourselves and courageously face the consequences are true repentance. Furthermore, equipping ourselves with various abilities are the keys to entering the global village. The proficiency of both English and Chinese, the mastering of technology, the professional knowledge in a certain field are a must nowadays. To keep abreast of this ever-changing world we should make good use of the handy information around us. From television to internet, these are what caused the information explosion. Since international events bind with our living more directly, a daily check of all international and domestic news should become a part of our routine. Also the issues of our environment and our society, such as global warming, deforestation, the destruction of our ozone layer, our welfare system, the educational issues should be lain more emphasis and care of.

Accomplishing a distinguished individual work is great, but what leads the world’s new trend now is the power of team work. The ability to socialize, properly negotiate, schedule plans, dominate the positions has become more and more important. A team’s work specialized all kinds of people in professional fields; a proper combination surely does a multiplied job. All in all, we should have an aggressive, adjusting attitude and a fine interpersonal relationship as we embrace the concept of a global village. Nothing is forever stabilized. Concepts of old knowledge, new findings of the explanation of our environment could all be over thrown some day. Upon facing the changes, we should have a young heart to accept them and be humble to learn them.

Being citizens of this ever-changing world, we teenagers are the generation to lead the society with our enthusiasm. Hold tight, fasten your seatbelts, we are on a ride preparing to pass a tunnel to the future and we truly are gonna rock the world!

What’s a citizen? And what’s a responsible citizen?

The ancient cities of Greek considered a responsible citizen to be the one who positively engaged in politics. Two thousand years later, under the authoritarian ruling of Ivan the Terror, a good citizen is the one who worshiped and admired the king. The standard of a responsible citizen varied from the Era of Democracy to that of the Absolutism. Even nowadays, we see so many different paradigms of model citizens being held in the perspectives of different cultures. So is there a rudimentary standard that conveys the essence of the citizen spirit? A standard which one should apply for the sake and common will of our society?

Eighteenth century American philosopher Henry David Thoreau had proposed the idea of civil disobedience, which encourages the “illegal but right” act against government’s unjust ruling. Thoreau implied that citizens are not responsible for the government; instead, citizens are responsible for the society which they live in. The citizen spirit is not the one with myopic piety towards government’s policies. It is the enthusiasm under the surface of laws and orders, the enthusiasm to make society a better place to live that makes citizen spirit so profoundly glow in the modern democratic countries. The altruistic act of a high school student who gives up his weekend and volunteers to clean up the ravages after typhoon, a kid who helps the elderly cross the street, and anybody-who brings their own forks and spoons when he(she) goes out to eat. These acts are not required by laws, but are done for the common will of the society, state the real spirit of a responsible citizen.

But does it mean that we don’t have the obligation to obey the rules of the society? What will our world be if everybody acts egocentrically, regardless of other people’s needs? In eighteenth century, philosophers finally came up with an answer to these questions. John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, and Rousseau all came up with a theory called the “social contract”. It states that the government is the product of citizen’s consent, and that the government acts upon the favors of people. It also warns that it the society is unrestrained and functions without rules, human’s greed and selfish nature will deteriorate the society and the world would go back to the Dark Age. The Enlightenment’s philosopher indicated the necessity of citizens to comply with the social orders, or laws, which the majority of people agreed upon. This is not only a theory; we can see this in our everyday life. A madman arrogates himself the right of killing people, a thief broke into people’s houses and take their properties without restrictions, or a kid who just throws his gum right on the street. These acts are life-threatening, property-stealing, and environmentally harming. If there are no punishments against these crimes, our society wouldn’t differ from that of the animals, which everyone fights for their own goods and survival.

Other than thinking considerably for others and avoiding illegal acts, the modern society considered citizens to have another important quality, which is to positively engage in the global issues. You do not engage in the global issues with lunatic mind or unconstructive comments though, you engage in it with sense and sensibility and know clearly what you are capable of on helping to solve the issue. Take global warming for instance, a president or government could establish laws to restrain the industrial pollution, an ordinary student like me can help too, by riding bike to school or taking public transportation system. Just weeks ago, earthquake shook Indonesia again, and the whole island was turned into a wasteland like a World War II village capitulating without order. Knowing that people are suffering thousands of miles away, what will you do? It’s the choice between what you want to do and what you are capable of doing. And a responsible citizen has to be discreet about the kind of help he could offer, and the kind of help the victims need. In order to do this, we need to be more ware of what’s happening in the world, or even in your own country now. The awareness of current events is another way to become a responsible citizen, because a responsible citizen is the one with the zeal of caring where he (or she) lives.
