[月與夜隨筆] When judiciary applies to the reality.

//It simply doesn’t work out. There’s no jury, no check and balance and no procedures. Not every lay person carries a fair libra in their daily life.// As a law student, we look at both the defendant’s mens rea and actus reus at the moment of committing the crime. In the English law system , mens rea seems to be way more important than what actually done by the defendant as we often decide whether the defendant is doing the act in bona fide or mala fide. Also, we believe that a defendant is not guilty until proved beyond reasonable doubt. Though we understand that whether the act was done negligently or intentionally, it would still be regarded as committing the crime. It is just that negligently is less culpable as intentionally does. Moreover, the judge would take their time to look at different shreds of evidence and letters of mitigation before making the verdict, hoping to best conclude the case. This is how the judiciary goes, but not in the reality, especially wh...

[月與夜隨筆]愛一個上一課 ── 付出

愛情,就是不斷的付出,不斷為對方設想。沒有城府的把自己交給對方。在坦誠相對的兩個人面前,再談及心計,計較付出已是徒然。 是否計算出這段關係「付出多多,收穫少少」便要結束嗎 ?   未必如此。戀愛不是社會上的基礎建設,也沒能計算。也許,即使知道這項工程是「大白象」亦會因為愛而無下限付出。無疑,付出一方會倍感痛辛,也會質疑自己當初的決定,獲取一方,或許只會更加認為對方的付出是理所當然。 即便如此,筆者依舊認為戀愛是一種長線投資。「種瓜得瓜,種豆得豆」的這個道理說得沒錯,付出多少便會得到相對回應。之所以說是長線投資,是因為這種雙向的關係需要時間磨合,需要時間習慣,並非一時三刻便能處理的事。然而,感情中的人和買股票的人一樣,往往都不懂得等待,往往都追求效率,股市低迷時只是希望「止蝕」,也沒有想過經濟周期過後有回賺的可能。 所以,一段感情中,要學習的不只是獲取的一方。而付出的一方,也需要學習等待,筆者相信你如何對待對方,他是會感應得到的。只是來不及回應,也趕不上解釋,便已然沒有補救的機會。 不得不承認,把對方的付出看待成理所當然是十惡不赦的態度,但付出和表達始終需要時間學習累積,並非能一步登天的事。又或許他沒有表現出來,是因為慢熱,是害怕,是 怯懦。 司法制度尚且設上訴機制,不服也可為自己辯護;即使裁定有罪,也可緩刑。但感情只有一次,而分手是單向的決定,只要他已定奪要判處死刑,便不可再度上訴,自辯、求情亦宣告毫無作用。你找不到辯護律師,也沒有人會願意摻和這一灘糞水。你只能認命,只能夠放手。 現代社會男女戀愛,合則來,不合則去,頂多也只是哭上三天。但又有誰為每一段感情賦予意義,讓每段關係不只如煙火般一 𣊬 即逝,而是一幀讓你帶走的照片。 - 這一趟,我學到了「及時付出」。
