I. Background
上海日记有一故事说道:有一天魔鬼差小鬼到一个城市去传播病菌,要它杀死一千人,结果死的却有两千人。于是魔鬼就责问小鬼,小鬼回答:“大王,我是遵命而行的,我杀的只有一千人。”那另外一千人呢?“是因为惧怕而死,那些人疑神疑鬼,自己吓死了自己。”
南海出版社面对疾病,我们需要有一种战胜病痛的勇气和必胜的信念。面对惧怕,我们需要的是一种内心真正的平安。这世上的平安有两种,一种是外在的平安,在和平年代,有衣有食,身体健康,环境安宁,生活富裕。这种平安可能是短暂的,一遇到环境突变,比如说大的瘟疫或者是战争,平安的状态就被打破了。还有一种平安是内心的平安,心灵的安康。虽然环境、世事多变,但内心某种信念和把握,在任何环境中都能处之泰然。
英国泰晤士报曾举办过一个绘画比赛,题目为“平安”,结果获选的作品不是平风和日丽、湖面平静的风景画,而是一副在狂风暴雨中,小鸟在母亲的翅膀下安睡的画面。虽然外面环境恶劣,风雨大作,但小鸟在母亲的羽翼下仍能安享平安,这种平安才是真正的平安。
人生若有真正的信仰,有信念使人有勇气、有力量胜过恶劣的环境,拥有内心的安康,这种平安才是最真实的。当我们拥有最真实的平安,无论世事如何变幻、环境如何恶劣,我们都能平稳渡过一切困境。当疾病来临时,愿我们不要惧怕,内心的力量能够刚强起来!
