奥巴马的挑战

我喜欢奥巴马. 他看起来是个有智慧, 也很自律的. 也许会是个好总统. 但是结局如何呢? 借这一席之地, 同大家分享一段圣经里的话.

传道书4:13-16
贫穷而有智慧的少年人, 胜过年老不肯钠谏的愚昧王. 这人是从监牢里出来作王; 在他国中, 生来原是贫穷的. 我见日光之下一切行动的活人, 都随从那第二位, 就是起来代替老王的少年人. 他所治理的众人, 就是他的百姓, 多的无数; 在他后来的人, 尚且不喜悦他. 这真是虚空, 也是捕风.

Eccelesastes 4:13-16
Better a poor but wise youth than an old but foolish king who no longer knows how to take warning.  The youth may have come from prison to the kingship, or he may have been born in poverty within his kingdom.  I saw that all who lived and walked under the sun followed the youth, the king's successor.  There was no end to all the people who were before them.  But those who came later were not pleased with the successor.  This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.)

年老固执, 不肯钠谏的愚昧王好象说的刚刚卸任的小布什. 贫穷而有智慧的少年人, 象不象我们的新总统奥巴马. 人的本性总是要崇拜英雄. 现在追随他的人多如牛毛. 他管理国家也可能很出色. 但是人有一天还是会厌倦他, 觉得就那么回事. 转而去追随下一个"英雄".
