so poor意思的八卦，PTT、DCARD、MOBILE01和Yahoo名人娛樂都在討論

雖然聖誕節要到了，但很不想讓大家再度聽到Last Christmas這首歌了
這是這個月Bark 樂是浮生錄的文字，說的是上個月的感想
雖然風雨不會這麼快就過去，也許未來還會有更多的風雨，可是只要還有時間，我們就可以再有多一點希望
也謝謝George Michael

最近適合熱血！隨著回憶擺動身姿

BARK#16五月天 瑪莎專欄時間

Praying for Time

上個月是個風雨耳語交錯轟炸的混亂月份，雖說每次的選舉都是公民發揮功能行使權力的時機，可是要經歷這些選舉招式和比爛的烏賊式攻擊或議題，我想很少人不會感到不耐且厭煩。私以為選舉在民主政治中可貴的部分在候選人可以提出自己的理想性和對於未來的抱負願景，然後選民們用選票決定誰有那樣的能力，可以帶著我們到那個最接近理想的地方。可是沒想到經過了這麼次的選舉，那些政客的招數比從前還要破綻百出，嘴臉比從前還要貪得無厭，攻擊比從前還要火上加油，臉皮比從前還要無堅不摧。一切都像是個虛幻且詭譎的嘉年華，但這嘉年華卻居然要決定我們接下來的未來？！終究自己還是試著關上電視離開網路，試著回到音樂裡找尋一些存在感。然後，我聽見了好久不見的George Michael。

George Michael在單飛之前，是創作男孩團體「Wham」的成員。「Wham」在八零年代有不少膾炙人口的金曲，兩位成員都有創作，歌曲仍多屬於愉快歡樂的泡泡糖舞曲或商業性濃厚的抒情歌曲。但他們的創作能力的確不俗，每首歌皆是當時人人朗朗上口的排行榜佳作。加上兩個人帥氣的外型和成功的包裝，儼然就是市場上吉他鍵盤創作金童雙人組。那是我國小的回憶，只記得學校的園遊會或是拉拉隊會聽見他們的歌，在鬧區的路上逛街也會偶爾聽見他們的作品。1986年「wham」解散了，George Michael單飛。他個人的第一張專輯《Faith》出版，在市場上獲得驚人的成功。除了音樂性本身的豐富和令人驚豔之外，也將原本就好看的George Michael推上了性感偶像的地位。緊身牛仔褲、墨鏡、長鬢角、鬍渣、上了油的頭髮、牛仔外套，還有一把背在身上的木吉他。音樂錄影帶中他扭腰擺臀，儼然就是貓王再世的化身。那是那陣子年輕人最愛的裝扮，除了音樂之外，他也是時尚和潮流的偶像。

1990年，George Michael出版了他的第二張個人專輯《Listen Without Prejudice vol.1》，翻譯過來，意思是撇開偏見聆聽。也許是對於第一張個人專輯《Faith》的成功有所反動，加上想讓聽眾更聚焦於他的音樂作品上，所以這張專輯從封面到內頁，只有一張他自己第一張專輯時期的黑白照片。在那個MTV頻道大行其道甚至是主要唱片宣傳管道的年代，所有的音樂錄影帶也都沒有他的演出。甚至在專輯的主要歌曲〈Freedom 90〉中，他也在歌詞寫到
“Heaven know I was just a young boy, Didn’t know what I wanted to be
I was every little school girls pride and joy and I guess it was enough for me
To win the race? A prettier face?
Brand new clothes and a big fat place on your rock and roll TV
But today I play the game is not the same, No way
Think I’m gonna get me some happy”

這些歌詞在在地透露他心中對自己在大眾心中形象的厭倦和想要的改變，而這首歌後來也多少有了些標誌性意味，因為後來壞小子羅比威廉斯在離開Take That之後的第一首單曲，就是翻唱了George Michael的這首歌。

我在國中的時候買了這張唱片，因為在MTV頻道看到了的音樂錄影帶，覺得音樂很好聽，而且主角居然完全沒出現。（後來才知道導演是David Fincher）當時的自己雖然不甚懂唱片的歌詞內涵和主題等等，只是因為覺得好聽，於是成了自己經常播放的唱片之一。後來隨著時間經過，開始試著了解歌詞和專輯的音樂內涵，每次聽到都驚訝地覺得這是張因為商業上的失敗而被過度低估了的唱片。後來雖然George Michael因為性傾向和醜聞，加上沒有新專輯問世，所以慢慢在市場上銷聲匿跡，但我仍然會因為他在這張專輯的傑出表現，認為他是個有自知之明且才華洋溢的音樂人。

而在這張唱片其中，一直到今日，每次聆聽都還是讓我深深感動的，是〈Praying For Time〉。專輯版本的編曲有著直接而強硬的節奏和鼓聲，搭配著用力刷擊的木吉他以及襯底的弦樂，間奏的管樂，George Michael用情緒外放甚至帶些憤怒的語氣唱著這首歌。他在2004年的時候重新在因為披頭四而聲名遠播的Abbey Road Studio重新用live的方式錄製了這首歌，沒有實體唱片，只有數位發行。編曲只有簡單的鋼琴，速度也放慢了許多。他的歌聲收起了憤怒，但多了許多的不捨和憐憫。沒有誇張的情緒渲染，只用很單純的情感重新翻唱了這首歌。另外一個和原版本最大的差別是，他在前奏和間奏多了幾句“Do you think we have time?”。這也是我比較喜歡的版本。他在主歌的歌詞中赤裸且毫不留情地描述著這個他眼中的世界，說著人們之間的對立，說著人與人的不相信，說著人們心中的懷疑和恐懼，也說著人們的虛偽和假意。

“The rich declare themselves poor and most of us are not sure”
“These are the years of the empty hand,Oh you hold on to what you can,
And Charity is the coat you wear twice a year”
“So you scream behind your door, say what’s mine is mine is not yours”

雖然是二十幾年前的歌曲了，但歌中所描述的這些，在今天看來似乎從來沒有變過，甚至變本加厲了。我們仍然在電視上看到富人們喊窮，聽見既得利益者說日子不好過。兇手嚷著說自己是受害者，執政者威脅著不讓我執政你們走著瞧。社會不公的現象沒有變得比較好，努力付出所得到的有時候比自私還要糟。在已經不知道接下來還可以相信什麼的時候，連我們原來被教育可以信賴的居然也開始變得混淆。聽著George Michael唱著的時候，新聞片段畫面隨著歌詞像是走馬燈般在腦中淡入淡出。這是我們的世界，即使已經過了這麼多年，可是這首歌所描述的仍然和我的年代如此貼切，沒有一絲違和感。他在副歌寫出了最後的憐憫無奈和一點點希望，他唱：

“It’s hard to love, There’s so much to hate
Hanging on to hope when there is no hope to speak of
And the wounded skies above say it’s much too late
So maybe we should all be praying for time”

太難去愛，而太多仇恨，寄託著希望，但卻連希望都沒有。受傷的天空說著一切都太遲了，所以也許，我們都該祈求上天多給我們一些時間。現在聽來，時間過了，我們似乎仍然沒有讓這個世界變得更好，我們還有希望可以寄託嗎？

現在聽這首歌仍然感動，是因為心裡還有希望和相信。你仍然相信努力可以讓一些事情改變，你仍然相信付出可以獲得一些逆轉。即使笨重的世界像是隻沒有神經的雷龍，用力地敲擊它的尾巴可能要等到天荒地老他才會轉頭，但是只要願意去做，即使只改變一些些，即使等待很久才能開花結果，你都會卯盡全力地想要試試。因為曲中的描述是你看見的世界，因為你經歷過這些失望，所以你更知道不可以未來就這樣定格在這樣的令人沮喪的現狀。最後，2004版本和原來唱片版的另外一個最大的差異，是他在歌曲尾奏唱著“Do you think we have time?”的最後一句，他唱了“Please give us time”。

我相信這世界會不一樣的，請再給我們多點時間。

【為什麼壞人有錢，好人沒有錢？】
Why are the Evil-Doers Rich, and Mr Good Guys Poor?

這支影片幾年前上傳到Youtube時，有觀眾留言問：

老師，不好意思，我想請問您 ：那些惡人今世可以賺到不斐的財富，是因為前世他們累積了不可思議的福報導致。

那麼佛教有種說法，就是我們累世輪迴，這一世就是靈魂繼承上世的修行程度。你修的好的地方（善緣福報）你修的不好的地方（惡緣惡報）都會帶來這一世讓你繼續修，最終目的就是修到大圓滿 然後成佛。

可是我的問題是，那些惡人如果上世能夠累積到這麼多的福報，那麼本質上他的靈魂就一定是善的居多，怎麼這一世會偏差的這麼遠呢？ 令人費解@@ 不好意思想請教老師...

*

我那時簡單的回覆：

您好。菩薩有隔世之迷，而且人之初，性混沌，遇到善緣，人會變善，遇到惡緣，人會變惡。

但問題是，修過福報的人，不一定是守五戒的人，因為他們可能不曾修過智慧，習性特重，便不會產生這定力不去犯錯。

打個比方，成龍享有巨大的財富和名氣，和他喜歡做慈善的心性有關係，但他還是犯了淫，因為定力不足，喜色成性。後代房祖名吸毒不爭氣，成龍受千夫所指，也是邪淫果報之一。

喜做善，不代表沒有在行惡。行了惡，又沒有懺悔，就會有這般善惡交叉的命運。但惡人再惡，善緣臨時也會有放下屠刀，立地成佛的一天，如佛陀弟子央掘魔罗。

When I uploaded this video on my Youtube channel 4 years ago, a viewer left a comment asking,

"Teacher, sorry but I wish to ask, those villiians can earn bountiful wealth because of the incredible good fortune they accumulated in their past lives.

In Buddhism, there is this theory: our souls in this lifetime is the product of our cultivation from past lives. Thus, for this life, you will continue to cultivate the areas you did well in (virtuous affinities & good fortune) and the areas you fail in (negative affinities & retribution).

The final goal is to accomplish Great Perfection and eventually, attain Buddhahood.

But my question is, if those villians accumulated so much good fortune in their past lives, then the essence of their souls should have more goodness in them. Why the vast difference in this life? This is perplexing. @@ Sorry I wish to ask Teacher ...”

*

My simple reply at that time:

Hi, a Bodhisattva will experience confusion between his past and current lives. When man is born, his nature is chaotic. He becomes virtuous when he meets virtuous conditions, and turns vile, when he meets malevolent affinities.

The problem is a person who has cultivated good fortune may not be a person who adheres to the five precepts. Because they may not have cultivated wisdom, they are still very prone to their habitual tendencies and lack the meditative strength to avoid committing sins.

For example, Jackie Chan enjoys enormous wealth and fame. This got to do with his fondness for doing charity. But he still committed sexual misconduct due to his lack of restraint. Thus his son, Jaycee Chan, was a drug abuser and let the family down. Jackie Chan was universally condemned and this is one retribution of his sexual misconduct.

A person doing virtuous deeds does not mean he is not doing bad deeds on the other hand. If there is no repentance after a bad deed is done, he will end up with a Destiny of good and bad interweaved in it.

But no matter how malevolent a villain may be, when his virtuous affinity approaches, there will come a day when he is willing to lay down the butcher's knife to become a Buddha, i.e. repent and be absolved of his past sins.

Just like Buddha's disciple, Angulimala.

#尋人啟事
#胡湘荷妳在哪裡

我的母親已八十歲，
疫情期間，
母親常在電話跟我聊一些過去的事情，
母親的記憶力非常好，
從她十歲開始到現在，
她幾乎能記得所有的事情。

當然，
她記的幾乎都是些令人心碎的事。

就像她的妹妹＿
我的小阿姨，
跟她失聯了四十三年的事，
一直讓母親忘不了。

小阿姨屬猴，
64歲、
1956年出生。
大約1977年離開緬甸，
去到泰國投靠大舅，
又輾轉在1978年左右去了加拿大。
之後，
就失去了聯絡。

自從有網路以來，
我就幫忙母親在各種尋人版上刊登過尋人啟事，
但都沒有下文。
可能是刊登的資訊不齊全。

四十三年前，
小阿姨從緬甸到泰國又到加拿大，
可能證件、姓名等都跟原本的不一樣了。

近期，
與我母親通話，
母親又提到失聯的小阿姨。
她叮嚀我們是否能幫忙她再找找看。

母親今年八十歲，
她很想知道她的小妹，
是否還活在這世界上？

附上母親說的話，
她讓我公佈在網路上。

希望有緣，
我的小阿姨能看到。

#胡湘荷
#尋人

胡湘荷，妳在哪裡？

阿湘，
我是妳的二姐胡明珠。
我們分別有好長一段時間了。

妳離開緬甸時，
我二兒子才剛出生，
都還不滿一個月，
妳來看他時，
還說：
「他的臉白白的，
是不是我給他擦粉？」
現在，
我二兒子四十三歲，
我呢，
已經快滿八十二歲，
八十多歲，
是老人了。

人家說，
人愈老記性愈差，
我是相反，
我的記性反倒是愈老愈好。
但是，我能記住的，
都是些傷心的事情。

也許，
我們這代人，
也沒有什麼快樂的事情可以記住。
就像妳的離開，
我們從此失去聯絡，
想起妳，
就讓我難過。

妳還活著嗎？
我想妳會活得好好的。
妳有幾個小娃了？
過得怎麼樣呢？

四十三年前，
妳離開腊戌時，
妳還在腊戌漢人學校唸書。

有天放學，
我去攔住妳，
跟妳說：
「妳以後每天下課後就來我家吃飯，
別去大姐家吃了…」
妳說：「好」。
妳也就跟著我到我家吃飯了。

我還記得，
妳才剛坐下，
我不知怎麼搞的，
就說了那些話。

我說：
「大姐讓妳以後來我這裡吃飯，
別去她家吃了，
讓妳三姐去她家吃，
妳三姐不挑嘴，
妳比較挑嘴…」。

這些話，
是大姐跟我說的，
我當時太懵，
太老實，
我也不曉得，
為什麼要說這些大姐講的話？
為什麼要講給妳聽？

我完全，
沒有擔待不了妳的意思呀。
不管多窮，
姐妹間互相照顧都是應該的，
我轉述大姐說妳的那些話，
是沒有任何理由的，
就是我以為是姐妹之間的聊天，
講出來而已。

我那時候過得很困難，
養著六個小娃，
病死了兩個。
但是，
照顧自己的妹妹是天經地義的。

那天，
我邊說就邊到廚房去炒菜，
難得妳來這裡吃飯，
總要多一樣什麼菜才行。

我炒完菜端著出來，
妳就不見了。

當時，
房東許老嬤嬤還在場，
她說，
「我轉進廚房，
妳就站起來走了…」

我那時才發覺；
我講錯話了。

妳這麼敏感的人呀！

我一路追著妳，
追到大水塘路上＿
到妳跟妳三姐住的地方，
妳正在哭。
妳正在哭著跟妳三姐吵架，
妳跟妳三姐說：
「二哥寄來的錢分來…」
妳三姐不敢應妳，
在旁沉默著。
這筆妳要的錢，
確實是妳二哥寄來給妳們兩姐妹的生活費。

那時，
媽媽剛去世不久，
大哥人去了泰國；
在泰國北部滿堂安了家，
家裡所有的兄弟陸續去了泰國。
而爸爸因為沒身份證在貴概被移民局抓住，
送到仰光坐滿九年牢，
緬甸政府正打算著把他送到台灣去的時候…

那天，
我看著妳哭，
我就明白了妳的心情。

妳三姐在準備跟她愛人私奔，
在腊戌妳也只有大姐、我和妳三姐了。

我和大姐早結婚，
各自已有有家庭。
如今妳三姐又要嫁人，
大哥他們又遠在泰國，
母親去世，
父親坐牢。
妳接下來就要孤苦零丁的一個人生存了。

一個十八歲的女孩。
我知道妳的害怕和難過。

那天，
看著妳哭，
我很後悔把大姐說的話講出來。

妳應該了解我的。
我一直都盡力照顧我的家人，
當時從雲南背著妳逃難到緬甸邊境，
背了一天一夜。
我都是自願的。

妳記得嗎？
妳到腊戌讀書時，
很想要一條件仔褲，
那時許多人都買不起，
我還是費盡力氣買給妳。
妳知道我是心疼妳的。

妳離開腊戌的那天，
妳說妳要去泰國了。
臨走時，
我拿了300塊錢給妳，
妳知道嗎？
那時候我拿出300塊錢緬幣是到處借來的錢呀。

阿湘，
我知道妳一直都在受苦，
去到泰國，
大嫂可能待不得妳，
妳二哥、三哥他們當時也沒能力照顧妳，
妳在泰國又沒有合法的身份；
哪可能有其它去處。

最後妳選擇結婚，
我想也只是為了解脫這些難過的生活罷了。

之後，
就聽說妳嫁了人，
跟著丈夫家去了加拿大。

之後，
我就再也就打聽不到妳的下落了。

我們最後的連繫，
停留在泰國北部滿堂，
或是停留在泰緬邊境美賽，
我都有些記不得了。

那時，
聽說妳從大哥家跑出來了？
又聽說妳去暫住在一對老年夫妻的家裡？
這些，
都是後來傳到腊戌的消息了。

妳去加拿大前，
還寄來給我和大姐和妳三姐每個人一件衣裳布、
一條籠基。
三份禮物裡夾著三張白紙，
寫著：「大姐的、二姐的、三姐的…」。
我還記得，
那是託「義號佛堂」楊前人帶來的禮物。

那條籠基到現在我還留著＿
孔雀花紋的。

阿湘，
我這個作二姐的也羞愧妳了。
當時，
聽到這些關於妳的困難的消息，
只能每天想念著，
想到傷心，
我沒有任何能力。

那時，
我是，
連從緬甸腊戌到泰國邊境的車票都買不起呀。
當時我養著這麼多小娃，
吃一口飯都難。

阿湘，
現在講這些都只是回憶了，
都是我們老人家的回憶，
都不重要了。

那為什麼還要講這些呢？
就是，
為了，
想讓妳看到，
看到這些我說的話，
證實，
我是妳的二姐而已。
想讓妳知道，
我一直在找妳。

我活到八十歲，
夠了，
人活這麼老沒什麼意思，
都盡是傷心的事情。

我不知哪天會死去。
但如果可能的話，
在死去之前，
能讓我知道一下妳的消息。

我想知道，
妳在哪裡？
我想知道，
妳還活著嗎？

阿湘，
爸爸十幾年前已經去世，
大哥六年前去世，
連大姐，
前年也不在世上了。

妳二哥；
他住在泰國山邊荒地裡，
幫人家看田地，
過得不是很好，
但也不用擔心，
我在泰國的二兒子和大姑娘時常會去照顧他。

妳三哥，
講到也是讓我難過呀。

他大前年腦出血，
去醫院醫好了，
但醫好後，
很奇怪，
突然忘記了漢人話，
只會講泰國話。
後來不久，
他就偷偷上吊自殺了。

你說，
我們兄弟姐妹這是什麼樣的命運呢？

阿湘，
我們家沒剩下什麼人了，
妳三姐、妳四哥還在泰國。
還有我，
我還活著。
我還在緬甸，在腊戌。

除了妳，
我們一家人也就剩下這三個人了。

阿湘，
我們已經分別已四十三年，
妳也有六十多歲了吧？
我很想知道，
妳在哪裡？
妳還活著嗎？

如果有緣，
妳看到這信，
就回我一下吧。

妳的二姐胡明珠，
日日夜夜，
在等妳的消息。

#notice for a missing person

translated by Jane Lin
****************

Where are you, Hu Shine-Ho?

Ah-Shine,
This is your 2nd sister, Hu Ming-Ju. It has been a long time since we last saw each other. When you left Burma, my 2nd son was not even one-month-old. You asked why he was so fair-skinned? Had I put powder on his face? Now, he is 43 and I am almost 82.

Eighty something...I am indeed an old woman! People say that you lose your memory as you age. I am quite the opposite. The older I get, the better I remember! But, what I remember is nothing but sadness. Perhaps, our generation just doesn't have much happiness. Like you leaving home, we losing contact forever…. The thought of you puts me in such despair. Are you still alive? I imagine you living a good life?!! How many children? How are you?

Forty-three years ago, you were still a student at Chinese High School in Lashio. One day after school, I went to intercept you, "From now on, come to my home after school. Don't go to 1st sister's for dinner anymore." You said, "OK" and followed me home.

I still remember clearly that you had just sat down and I said, "The first sister asks that you come to me for dinner. She will take 3rd sister who's easy-going, not like you, a picky eater." I don't know what possessed me that day? Why I had to tell you what 1st sister had to say? Was I too naive? Too honest? Too stupid? I had absolutely no intension not to take care of you - we are sisters!!!! We have to care for each other, no matter how poor we are!!! The first sister's words just came out as a casual chat between sisters. Nothing more!

Life was tough for me at the time. Diseases took away two of my six children. But that didn't mean I would ignore my God-given responsibility as your elder sister. Without realizing the impact of my "casual chat", I went into the kitchen wondering what additional dish I could come up with for your first dinner with us. When I came out with the dishes, you were already gone! According to our landlady, Granny Hsu, you just got up and left as soon as I was out of sight. Only then did I realize my stupid mistake and how sensitive you were! Immediately, I ran after you, all the way to Big Pond Road where you and 3rd sister stayed. You were crying, asking 3rd sister for the money that 2nd brother sent. 3rd sister just kept quiet.

Indeed! The money that you demanded from 3rd sister was to cover living expenses for both of you. At that time, Mother had already passed away. The first brother went to Thailand, had already settled his own family in Pong Ngam. All the brothers followed suit. Father got caught in Kutkai by the immigration for not having an I.D. and had been in prison in Rangoon for 9 years. The Burmese government was just about to send him to Taiwan…. That day, while watching you cry, I understood how you felt. The third sister was getting ready to run away with her lover and both 1st sister and I were married young with our own families to deal with. As an 18-year-old with no mother, a father in prison, you must have felt all alone, sad and very scared.

I was filled with regrets watching you that day. But, please understand that I have always tried my best to take care of my family. When we escaped from Yunnan to Burma as refugees, I carried you on my back all day and all night without any complaints. When you went to Lashio for school, you wanted a pair of jeans so badly, remember? It was such a luxury that most people could not afford. Yet, I gathered all my might to get you a pair. You know I always have a soft spot for you, don't you? The day you were leaving Lashio for Thailand, do you know how many places I had to try to gather 300 Burmese kyats for you???

Ah-Shine, I know it was a huge struggle for you in Thailand. It's impossible that 1st sister-in-law would put you up. Second and 3rd brothers were in no position to help you….. I suppose you were pushed into marriage, just to end this desperate situation. Last I heard, you moved to Canada with your husband. From that point onward, in spite of all the efforts, I just couldn't find any trace of your whereabouts.

Our last contact stopped at Pong Ngam, Thailand. Or, was it MaeSai? I can't quite remember now. The news came to Lashio that you had run away from 1st brother's home. Later, you were temporarily staying with an older couple….

Before leaving for Canada, you sent, via Abbott Yang of the Yi Buddhist Hall, a package for us - each gift had a piece of dress fabric and a longyi, clearly labeled on a piece of white paper: "for 1st sister," "for 2nd sister," "for 3rd sister." I still have that longyi, with a peacock pattern, after all these years!

Ah-Shine, I feel deeply embarrassed to be your elder sister. Upon hearing the challenges that you had to face at the time, I could do nothing but worrying and feeling sad. I couldn't even afford the bus fare from Lashio to the Thai border. I barely managed to feed my own children!
Ah-Shine, What's the use of talking about these old memories? These sad memories of us old people have no importance but to serve to show you that I am indeed your 2nd sister.… that I have been looking for you all these years.

To live in my eighties is more than enough for me. It's not much fun to live this long - just a lifetime of sadness. I have no idea when I will die and I don't really care. I just wish that I could hear from/about you before I leave this world. I want to know where you are. I want to know if you are still alive.

Ah-Shine, Father passed away more than a decade ago. The first brother left us 6 years ago, so did the first sister 3 years ago. The second brother works as a field caretaker in a remote Thai mountainside. It's not a good life, but both my 2nd son and first daughter are also in Thailand; can visit and take care of him often. The saddest is our 3rd brother. He had a stroke 3 years ago. After recovery, he suddenly forgot his Chinese, could only speak in Thai. Not long after, he hanged himself! Please tell me what kind of fate has been bestowed on our siblings??? What is the meaning of life???
Ah-Shine, There aren't that many of us left, only 3rd sister and 4th brother in Thailand and me still in Burma. In Lashio.

Ah-Shine, We have been apart for 43 years. You should be in your 60s by now. I really would like to know if you are still alive and where you live. God willing, you will see this letter and reply!!! (humingju1638@gmail.com)

Waiting to hear from you, day and night!

Second sister, Hu Ming-Ju
Lashio, Myanmar
