破坏与建设 | DESTRUCTION & CONSTRUCTION

每当仔细研究过一段历史,尤其是细思过决定进程的大部分因素时,我们通常会变得谦虚和懂得尊重。因为情况通常是,即使是和当时自己最不屑的人物进行对调,我们都不见得能做得更好。批评和破坏远比建设来得容易。当我们观察一个局面时,相较于简单的批评,更有建设性的做法是自问,“如果换做是我,会怎么做,而我们的做法是否会更为妥当?“作秀选举和键盘侠最大的问题在于,很多人事实上从未思考过更好的办法,而是把批评甚至破坏当作了目标本身!


Whenever we scrutinize a piece of history, especially when we have taken most of the factors that determine the process into consideration, we usually become humble and respectful. Because it’s often the case that we’re not necessarily better even if exchanging the place with the person we most disdain at the time. It is easier to criticize and destroy than to build. When we observe a situation, it is more constructive to ask ourselves, rather than simple criticism, “What would I have done, and would our approach be more appropriate?” The biggest problem is that a lot of people never actually think of a better way, but take criticism and even destruction as the goal itself!
