樂土樂民

上月乘郵輪往亞澳旅行,途中在曼谷遊覽了一天。當地導遊解釋,泰文的Thai意指快樂,Thailand亦即樂土。一般來說,泰人凡事都以尋求快樂為目的,不能得到快樂的事,他們多不願做。事實上,泰國的國民平均收入遠高於接壤的國家甚至鄰近的中國,而貧富差距也較小,失業率非常低,人民各守其職,知足常樂。

泰人的樂觀與積極可從一些事例略見一斑。當今泰皇拉馬九世愛音樂擅作曲,他的一首關於黄昏的歌詞謂,雖然太陽於黄昏後消失,人們不必失望,亦無須悲傷,只要耐心等待,可愛的陽光終會重現。該歌曲受泰人歡迎的程度可反映出他們的心態。

帶領我團的女導遊說得一口流利而帶有美國口音的英語,服務態度認真,善知外國遊客心意,深得公司讚賞。她年幼時因父母離異,被送往一所教會學校寄宿,過着嚴謹的生活,終日苦讀。雖然她失去愉快自在的青少年,但沒有埋怨母親,因為過去的苦況為她帶來現在優於很多泰人的安樂生活。

最近泰國發生廿年來最嚴重的水災,很多地方變成澤國,女導遊非常擔心,恐怕水災會影響當地旅遊業,間接破壞她的長遠計劃。母親安慰她說,她現在這般年輕便遇到如此嚴重的天災,是她的福分,因為她可從中汲取教訓,使她做好準備,將來更能應付同類或其他困難。

人生不如意事十常八九,只要我們處之泰然,化擔憂為力量,積極面對,凡事皆可解決,生活自然輕鬆。
