22nd Anniversary of Tiananmen Massacre 天安门大屠杀22周年

假如人民就是上帝 If/When "People" Is Our God “自由人”对抗“中国人”序列 "Free Beings" vs. "Chinese" Series 陈凯博客： www.kaichenblog.blogspot.com 陈凯一语： 上苍只通过个人的良知体现他的真实存在。 而恶魔却永远依靠群体的愚昧，暴力与专制去显示它的虚无与邪恶。 当一个人放弃了他的良知去只向群体认同的时候，他就成为了一个食人与被食的虚无走入了恶魔的怀抱。 Kai Chen's Words: God only manifests his true existence through each individual's conscience. But the devil will always depend upon collective ignorance, power-driven violence and group stupidity to materialize its nihilistic evil. When an individual, consciously or sub-consciously, gives up his own conscience to only identify himself with a collective or a group, he then will have logically become a victim-perpetrator, a nihilistic zombie. And he will have necessarily become part of that evil he claims he is against. ******************************************** By Kai Chen 陈凯 （Reprint 6/3/2011) I have met many who claim that they are against the Chinese communists. But quite often when international issues arrive, they all invariably side with the Chinese communist regime, against West, against Japan, against Taiwan, against Israel, against America. This phenomenon is very common among a culture that worships only groups and collectives, among a culture that has no true faith in individual conscience. All progress in the world comes only because individuals with conscience to pursue truth, individuals with faith to believe there is an objective reality and there are moral absolutes willingly risk their own lives, among collective hatred, ignorance and tendency for violence, to push history forward by discovering and revealing the truth. A society without individuals, such as China, will be perpetually mired in violent dynastic cycles and societal stagnation. The contrast between the West and China can be said as a society (culture) willing to recognize individuals with their achievement in pursuit of truth and a society (culture) which forever denies individuals and worships only the collective. I now list what would happen and already have happened if and when "People" is our God: When "People" is our God, history stands still and never progresses. 假如人民就是上帝，历史将停滞不前。 When "People" is our God, reality becomes fake. 假如人民就是上帝，真实就会变成虚假。 When "People" is our God, greatness becomes smallness. 假如人民就是上帝，伟大与渺小就会互相颠倒。 When "People" is our God, the world will be void of creativeness and productiveness. 假如人民就是上帝，世界就会失去创造力与生产力。 When "People" is our God, the earth would be still square and flat, and the sun would be still revolved around the earth. 假如人民就是上帝，地球仍旧是平的是方的；太阳仍旧围绕地球转。 When "People" is our God, oppression is a way of life. 假如人民就是上帝，人压迫人就是必然，多数压迫少数就是必然。 When "People" is our God, power becomes the only obsession and happiness forgotten. 假如人民就是上帝，权力之争就成为人的迷恋，幸福快乐就会被忘在脑后。 When "People" is our God, freedom becomes only an illusion and nightmare of despotism a norm. 假如人民就是上帝，自由就只能成为一个幻觉，专制的噩梦将永远主宰人的生存。 When "People" is our God, nihilism becomes the only philosophy and existence becomes fuzzy. 假如人民就是上帝，虚无主义就成为人们仅有的生活哲学，人的存在就变成模糊不清的可有可无。 When "People" is our God, public becomes private, good becomes evil, nothingness becomes existence, pain becomes pleasure, sorrow and hopelessness become joy and happiness, despotism becomes democracy, slavery becomes freedom. 假如人民就是上帝，人们就成为自我阉割，服侍权贵的宦官，也就永远分不清公与私，好与坏，存在于虚无，痛苦与享受，无望的煎熬与幸福希望，专制与民主，奴役与自由。 I hope you all think deeply about your worship of China, worship of Chinese ancestors, worship of the collective and groups, worship of nothingness. Come back to reality, come back to your own individuality, come back to your own conscience, come back to your own "self", come back to freedom, come back to truth, come back to God.
