【社會心】非理性思想(68)--復和是條雙程路

 

回顧過去,原來已有七期討論因社會矛盾帶來關係破壞而探討修復之道。扼要而言,首先,我們不是「非友即敵」,不要視不同意見者便劃分界線,因為我們若要分界線,便如同割席,我們的席能夠割多少次呢?第二,先冷靜聆聽,後溫和表達。用正能量的心態出發,彼此本是同根生,相煎何太急。第三,盡可能求同存異盡努力彼此尊重。在觀點差異大的時候,暫時少傾談也是好的,若是氣氛適宜傾談,也要放下自己觀點,嘗試從對方角度思考,方可求同存異。第四:在日常生活中的小事情上重建信任,言行一致,信守承諾,尋求幫助和主動支援。深信放下異見,必能建立關係。最後第五:是愛與寬恕的實踐。寬恕,是無條例的,不是交換的。寬恕,是去忘記過去的仇恨,不是當作未發生過,而是不讓它成為自己往後成長的阻礙,更不要讓傷痛化作仇恨在心中潛藏。寬恕,不是話一句就可以,而是要有一個很強的基礎支撐,這基礎就是「愛」,沒有愛的基礎,甚麼包容接納都可能再因小小衝突而像氣泡,成為空話。破損後的關係是脆弱的,更要彼此悉心維護。畢竟,人心不是靠武力征服,而是靠愛和寬容征服。

Social在現實上要把各走極端的觀點拉近使關係由互攻走向包容更非一蹴而就也是要有客觀大環境加上個人層面的小環境互相配合。「大環境」例如是社會氣氛政府立場政策及施政方針是否有利社會領袖的言論社會運動帶領者的聲音等等都發揮著大環境作用。至於「小環境」就是個人層面是否具有積極樂觀正能量在「海纳百川、有容乃大」的胸襟下真正發揮求同存異精神。要不拘小節不挑剔細微處不重提過去的錯失更不要再提對方曾經對自己所說過做過傷害的說話或事情從宏觀看對方的正面性例如對方曾經努力付出的行動欣賞對方願意走近一步的嘗試把過去積怨破冰。如果能在適當而公開的場合下表示歉意甚至可以請求對方的寬恕就是一幅非常美麗的「冰釋前嫌一笑泯恩仇」圖畫。這幅圖畫就好像約瑟見到他的哥哥時公開相認寬恕他們以前的行為彼此抱頭痛哭把積在心裡的怨憤哭了出來。

復和是條雙程路,總要有人第一步。筆者記得在數年前,目睹一對夫婦在一個營會裡彼此公開認錯,各自承認做了向對方不應作的事,請求對方原諒。彼此藉著領會者的指引,彼此寬恕對方,抱頭痛哭,重新接納,作出承諾,實在非常感動,因為一對已經到了離婚邊緣的夫婦,終於可以破鏡重圓,眾人都為他們而歡欣鼓掌。

筆者最近亦有機會見證一個意料之外的破冰行動的圖畫。看到當有人主動行出正面的第一步時,便見到另一方有第二步的出現。起因是兩位曾經相識十多年的朋友,卻因為某些事的處事手法不能認同,在某些社交平台表達意見,對方視為惡意批評,由此種下心結,且越積越深,甚至到了一個互不往來,見面轉身的局面。中間有些朋友嘗試作些援和行動,如安排輕鬆的燒烤日,或下午茶聚,皆未能成事,似乎雙方仍未到適當時侯。直到最近因為有朋友的週年紀念活動,雙方原本都未知會否出席,後來卻皆有出席。最意外之處是,某方在分享個人感恩事項時,竟然主動直接向另一方說出道歉的說話,即時全場肅靜,所有目光放在二人身上。另一方雖有些感到愕然,也能冷靜欣然接受,並主動與對方合照留念。那晚的聚會氣氛明顯地充滿更多喜悅,雖然沒有抱頭痛哭的激情,但已看到破冰之旅已經順利達至。

筆者首先要表示欣賞兩位都願意出席,若果其中一位不到場,便不可能出現此場面。當然,那位主動道歉者是有莫大的勇氣,才可在眾多友人前說出道歉之辭,不論是有多長短,願意說出道歉的話語,已是勇敢和成熟的表現。正如先前所說,復和是條雙程路,要達至和好如初可能還有一段距離,啟開正面循環線,打破惡性宿命論。

個人深信,人人都具有正負能量,只要是能夠讓心中的正能量發揮先行,便會在思想上指引正面的行動。在上述例子,雙方都讓自己「出席聚會」就是重要的一步。由於雙方都見到對方出現,另一方在心態上早已有心想處理,便趁此恰當時機表達,結果便「事就這樣成了」。

正值新春佳節,祝福各位讀者新年蒙福,把握機會釋放正能量。走出第一步,寬恕你行先。關係再建立,喜樂年復年。

尋找有時,失落有時;保守有時,捨棄有時。

撕裂有時,縫補有時;靜默有時,言語有時。

喜愛有時,恨惡有時;爭戰有時,和好有時。

(傳道書3:6-8)
