Easy answers or Simple answers

最近我讀到一篇演講稿,心裡很有感觸;那是美國前總統雷根在1964年以“一個選擇的年代”(A Time for Choosing)為名發表的演說,我在這裡節錄引起我共鳴的最後兩段話:

They say the world has become too complex for simple answers. They are wrong. There are no easy answers, but there are simple answers. We must have the courage to do what we know is morally right. Winston Churchill said that "the destiny of man is not measured by material computation. When great forces are on the move in the world, we learn we are spirits--not animals." And he said, "There is something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty."

You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children's children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done.

請無需將我的感觸和現在紛擾的時事過度聯想,我只是極度渴望且熱切追求一個相信simple answers 的世界。
