    一些思考

    最近看了爱泼斯坦的《势利美国版》,作者清晰的思路、老辣的笔锋时而令人忍俊不禁,时而又令人浮想联翩。以下文字给我流下了深刻的印象,同时引起了我的一番思考。
     
    当那些进入我父母公寓里的人开始谈论世界事物,我几乎无法不注意到,那些富有的人一般来说都主宰了大部分谈话,或至少讲起话来透着一股权威味道,而且他们的话也总是被仔细倾听着。有令人愉快的萨姆*考林,是这幢公寓大楼里的邻居,他是电台的流行节目《早餐俱乐部》里的喜剧演员。这一点当然让他具有了确定无疑的吸引力。我很早就意识到金钱和名誉在这个世界上的价值是举足轻重的。生活中的有些职业比其他职业能给人带来更大的声望——就说棒球比赛不吧,棒球场上二垒和三垒之间游击手的位置就比二垒受到更多钦佩。而橄榄球比赛中呢,四分卫就比前锋更拉风。
     
     
    这个场景在当今的社会恐怕是越来越普遍。金钱和名誉仿佛成了个人价值判断的第一要素。金钱多、名誉好的人即使因为一念之差犯了错误,也能够最大限度、最及时地用金钱和名誉去填补,为自己避免更大的损失。缺少金钱、默默无闻的人,即使道德再高尚,节操守得再到位,突如其来的困难仍然能轻而易举地使他陷入极端的困境,因为他没有钱。到头来他仍然是弱者。
    可是,金钱和名誉真有那么重要吗?
