Avoid It, Before It Is Too Late

All crimes happen for a reason. If we look through the past of all criminals, we will find that they all have been through some tough times, which made them decided to take revenge on society, and murdered other people. Below is a public service advertisement about gun crime among teenagers. It shocked me. Few of us notice the dark side of our society, but it is this "dark side" that grows up every day, which finally becomes dangerous to all of us.

預防槍支犯罪廣告

我們當中很少有人會去在意那些社會的「陰暗面」,但正是這些陰暗面最終毀滅了光明,給我們帶來巨大的傷害。這則廣告,就是在說明這些陰暗面的其中一個,青少年槍支犯罪的原因。

There are people around us, who do not know how to communicate and play with others, who seem to live in a different dimension. Normally we will just leave them alone, or even make fun of them, however, it is wrong. These people can be future criminals. We are setting up bombs for our society.

那些性格古怪的群體,如果沒有正確的引導,很有可能成為社會不安定因素。

Im not telling you to make friends with those people, cause most of them are hard to get along with. What Im telling you to do, is to respect them. When they are reading books, we can go around and ask, "what are you reading?", and when they are staying away from people and sinking into their own worlds, we can go around and ask, "why dont you join us?". It doesnt make any difference to the consequences, they wont tell you what books they are reading and why they do not join other people. However, it will make them feel human and realize that someone does care about them, they are not alone. See, tragedies can be avoided if we care about each others. Do not leave anyone behind, we are all part of the society, we should stick together.

如果我們能尊重那些「怪癖」的人群,如果我們能去多關心一下他們,很多悲劇,是可以避免的,不要丟下任何人,我們要團結。

寫在後面的話:

今天的英語,也就說這麼多了,但是我還是想談談自己對預防犯罪這方面的看法。從我上大學之後,有三件事給我印象很深。第一件,一位退伍軍人沒有受到應有的退休待遇,生活窘迫不堪,在多次申訴未果的情況下,他選擇拿起槍上街射擊,這個地點,就在我居住的城市周邊,當時我正好路過,幾名警察衝上來把我拉開交火區域。所幸無人員傷亡,不,有的,那位退伍軍官被擊斃了,如果警察沒有在第一時間用警車把持槍者團團圍住的話,無數的過路群眾就會被射殺。第二件,一位黑人,老婆嫌他窮離他而去,還把孩子帶走了,他悲痛不已,於是拿著槍上街,直播射殺群眾,無數好奇的人點進了他的直播間,他就在網名面前直播射殺了一位老人,好在他所在的區域是郊區,幾乎沒人路過,警察很快抓住了他。第三件,就是我親身經歷了,我有一段時間患上了抑鬱症,其實這種病不嚴重,但我要回國,那政府就要求我一定要去精神健康中心待上一到兩周,說白了就是去精神病院,他們確認我無害,給了我批准,我才能回國。在那裡,我接觸到了很多患有精神類疾病的人,他們並不像人們說的那樣不可接觸,他們中的很多甚至還很友好,就算是重度精神病的患者,也懂得早上起來跟我打招呼,在吃飯的時候過來跟我聊天,在經過一系列正確的引導和治療後,他們中的很多是可以具備基本的生存和社交能力的,我們每天都會聚在一起,說說心裡話,我發現,他們的心理狀態,其實跟常人並沒有太大差別,我在那待了兩周,走的時候,我已然跟他們成了朋友,他們排著隊跟我握手,擁抱,都很捨不得我。如果我們能對身邊的那些所謂「格格不入」的人多一些耐心和關懷,如果這些人能接受正確的治療,那我們的社會,一定會呈現出一種截然不同的狀態,很多社會問題,都是可以避免的,而避免這些問題的最大方法,就是愛。我希望看到這篇文章的所有人,都能夠在未來的日子裡儘力給那些「弱者」關愛,永遠記住,我們是一個整體,一個都不能少。
