Qiu's Rhetoric（68）
Ma Xiaoqiu:Human karma creates the era
我想大多數(shù)的人都在一些媒體發(fā)布的文章中，看見一批50后、60后在報(bào)怨自己生不逢時(shí)：趕上“上山下鄉(xiāng)”，趕上“高考如千軍萬(wàn)馬過(guò)獨(dú)木橋”，趕上“計(jì)劃生育”，趕上“下崗潮”等等不如人意的事情。
I think in some articles published by the media,most people saw a group of people born in 1950s and 1960s complaining about their misfortunes:they were catching up with the“going up the mountain and going to the countryside”,catching up with"college entrance examination like thousands of horses crossing a log bridge",and catching up with the"family planning",catching up with the"lay-offs tide"and other things that are not satisfactory.
從事物的表象來(lái)看，這的確是50后、60后不可否認(rèn)的親身經(jīng)歷，但人世間任何事情的發(fā)生都是因緣決定的。50后、60后為什么會(huì)趕上這個(gè)時(shí)代呢？凡事物因緣合，有前因才能有后果，前因是50后、60后這批人由于相同的善惡之因，而產(chǎn)生了相同的善惡之果。說(shuō)到底就是50后、60后這批人在過(guò)去生中都有著相同的善行和惡行，從而造就了一個(gè)屬于50后、60后的時(shí)代。這一時(shí)代現(xiàn)象的發(fā)生，不是時(shí)代造就的，更不是時(shí)代強(qiáng)加給我們的，是我們自己的善惡之因決定了我們必定造就這樣一個(gè)時(shí)代。我們自己種的因，當(dāng)然要由我們自己來(lái)承受。
Judging from the appearance of things,this is indeed an undeniable personal experience in the post-50s and the 60s.However,the occurrence of anything in the world is determined by the cause.Why did you catch up with this era after 50 and 60?All things can be contingent due to their affinities.The premise is that the 50th and 60th generations of people have the same results of good and evil because of the same causes of good and evil.In the final analysis,the 50th and 60th generations of people in the past all had the same kind of good deeds and evil acts,thus creating an era that belongs to the 50s and 60s.The occurrence of this era is not caused by the times.What is more,it is not imposed on us by the times.Our own cause of good and evil determines that we must create such an era.The cause of our own planting,of course,must be borne by ourselves.
仼何一個(gè)時(shí)代的現(xiàn)象都代表著這個(gè)時(shí)代的人們的過(guò)去和現(xiàn)在，同樣，未來(lái)的時(shí)代怎樣，也取決于我們這一時(shí)代的所思所行。任何一個(gè)時(shí)代都是人創(chuàng)造的，千百年來(lái)，人們譜寫著歷史的篇章，光輝燦爛與陰霾籠罩，都在同一時(shí)代互相碰撞、互相制約、互相促進(jìn)，這就是道的陰陽(yáng)之理。
The phenomena of any era all represent the past and the present of people in this era.Similarly,what is the future era will also depend on the thinking and acting of our time.Every era is created by the people.For thousands of years,the people have written chapters in history.They are brilliant and hazy.They both collide with each other,constrain each other,and promote each other in the same era.This is the reason for the Yin and Yang of Tao.
