第一次海外研习就快到了，我们会到香港与广州。不过很可惜的是，我们班副班代只参加香港行程，他给老师发了一封信说明原委，信中提到：
“因我所服务的媒体美国新唐人电视台是中共眼中的异议媒体，例如我们公司所播出的“九评共产党”，因为深入剖析共产党的本质，引发600多万人的退党，再加上我自己是法轮功学员，所以这次先不进大陆。
在中国，这场镇压由明转暗，遭酷刑致死的案例每天仍在发生。只要是学员，不分国籍，修炼真善忍在中国都被视为罪犯，即使是美国大使馆都救不出被非法关押的美国公民。”
我看了觉得很难过，不只是遗憾常带给大家很多欢乐的副班代无法同行之外，听说中国政府就是利用手中大笔的外资在迫害这群首无寸铁的老百姓，而我手中的投资标的几乎没有一家没在大陆设厂。人说君子爱财，取之有道。我该如何调整投资比重？我又该如何向我唯利是图的老板解释呢？处理人生的两难，除了需要智慧，我想还要有过人的勇气吧！
博学的学艺股长寄给大家一篇发人深省的文章，读者朋友们不妨一起看看。
The Paradox of our Time (所知与所行不一致的时代)
by George Carlin
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings, but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints
We spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy it less.
We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; we have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgment; more experts, but more problems; more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too seldom, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We’ve learned how to make a living, but not a life; we’ve added years to life, not life to years.
We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor.
We’ve conquered outer space, but not inner space.
We’ve done larger things, but not better things.
We’ve cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul.
We’ve split the atom, but not our prejudice.
We write more, but learn less.
We plan more, but accomplish less.
We’ve learned to rush, but not to wait.
We build more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; tall men, and short character; steep profits, and shallow relationships.
These are the times of world peace, but domestic warfare; more leisure, but less fun; more kinds of food, but less nutrition.
These are days of two incomes, but more divorce; of fancier houses, but broken homes.
These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throw-away morality, one-night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill.
It is a time when there is much in the show window and nothing in the stockroom; a time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete.@(http://www.dajiyuan.com)
