爱心女孩惨遭开除:我们的道德怎么了?
在长春一家快餐店门口,一个女孩为乞讨老人打伞,她被赞为“雨天最美的打伞女孩”。该女孩叫曹笛,准备上大学,暑期出来打工,却因此被工作的餐厅开除。对此餐厅回应:上班期间不工作,就在那站着打伞,老板认为她表现不好,将她开除。
对于上述事件,有的人说“不符合规矩”,也有的人说老板“只重利益,不重爱心”……但更多的是,曹笛的事件引发了我们更深的思考:我们的道德究竟怎么了?
前几年就有过“帮助别人反遭诬陷”和“小悦悦事件”,也由此引发了道德的思考。这一次的“曹笛事件”,似乎是“不幸言中”了。
其实,道德问题以前《中学生天地》就谈到过。如果我们都在强调自己的问题或难事,那么当我们碰到困难时,谁来帮助?(因为他们也在强调自己的难事)所以,我想说,道德不需要理由。
同学们,你们对此事有什么看法?

我的朋友休一直很胖,但是近来情况变得越发糟糕,以致他决定节食。他是一星期前开始节食的。首先,他开列了一张长长的单子,上面列了所有禁吃的食物。这张单子上的大多数食物都是休喜欢吃的:黄油、土豆、米饭、啤酒、牛奶、巧克力和糖果。
昨天我去看望了他。我按响了门铃,当看到休仍和往常一样胖时,我并不感到惊奇。
他把我领进屋,慌忙把一个大包藏到了桌子下面。显然他感到很尴尬。
当我问他正干什么时,他内疚地笑了,然后把那个大包拿到了桌上。他解释说,他的饮食控制得太严格了,以致不得不偶尔奖赏自己一下。接着他给我看了包里的东西。里面装了5大块巧克力和3袋糖果!
Reward for virtue(NCE2:Practice and progress, FLTRP 1997)
My friend, Hugh, has always been fat, but things got so bad recently that he decided to go on a diet. He began his diet a week ago. First of all, he wrote out a long list of all the foods which were forbidden. The list included most of the things Hugh loves: butter, potatoes, rice, beer, milk, chocolate; and sweets.
Yesterday I paid him a visit. I rang the bell and was not surprised to see that Hugh was still as fat as ever.
He led me into his room and hurriedly hid a large parcel under his desk. It was obvious that he was very embarrassed.
When I asked him what he was doing, he smiled guiltily and then put the parcel on the desk. He explained that his diet was so strict that he had to reward himself occasionally. Then he showed me the contents of the parcel. It contained five large bars of chocolate and three bags of sweets!
