心有不安
回家的路上
有一只狗狗
很想过马路
可是来往的车辆
好多好多
它看了很久
一直蠢蠢欲动
但始终还是
止下了脚步
我有一个念头
下车
喊停车辆
让它过去
就在我放慢车速的那一刻
随尾的车辆按了声喇叭
仿佛在暗示我快向前走啊
于是
最后
我走了
望后镜里的它
脸上只有无辜
可怜
无助
最后
它怎样了
我不懂
也永远不会懂
李安
在它的 Life of Pi 里
写入了这样一句对白
“Animals do not think like we do.
People who forget that get themselves killed.
That tiger ... is not your friend.
When you look into his eyes you are seeing your own emotions reflected back at you.
Nothing else!”
我并不认同
然后
另一句对白来了
“You know my father was right: Richard Parker never saw me as his friend.
After all we had been through he didn't even look back.
But I have to believe there was more in his eyes than my own reflection staring back at me.
I know it, I felt it.
Even if I can't prove it.”
没错
在我的观念里
动物
它们是有感情的
而且
往往它们的情感
比号称万物之灵的人类
还来得多很多很多
动物显然是人类文明
被牺牲最多的生物
它们爱人类
人类却从没用心爱过它们
也许
这是因为
人类
也从来没有用心爱过人类吧
当然
我并不全然同意
一些爱护动物者
爱护动物的方法
但
我必须承认一些事实
就是
它们是需要被爱护的。
