面子
面子是人家給的,架子却是自己掉 ……………………………………………… 優越感 陶傑(黃金冒險號) 2015年06月29日 有人聚居的地方,必然有高低。高低之間,人性之中必然有「優越感」。 「優越感」有許多種,富人對於貧窮的人,就有優越感。不要告訴我今日的中國土豪,來到香港,在廣東道掃貨,出手一二百萬,這些人,對一般的香港市民,沒有「優越感」。不然,網絡上的強國人,就不會如潮水一樣,說香港要靠中國才可以生存,辱罵香港人是「港燦」和「港狗」。 另有一種,在西方比較常見,是種族優越感。種族優越感比較麻煩:白人之中有足球流氓,而黑人之中有歌手路易阿姆斯特朗、納京高、演員摩根菲曼。一九六五年之前,美國黑人沒有投票權,連納京高這樣的才藝精英也沒有,於是馬丁路德金起來抗爭,跟美國的白人講道理。美國白人是講道理的,不是野蠻人,有少許三K黨,但美國政府不至於出動坦克。膚色的優越感,是不對的,美國是文明國家,所以才成為中國富人移民生孩子之首選。 還有一種,是品味的優越感。 如果英國舞后瑪歌芳婷今日在生,走過紐約時報廣場,看見一眾中國老媽在喧鬧唱跳紅歌和陝北農民的扭秧舞,瑪歌芳婷會皺皺眉頭,不說話,但心中會充滿優越感。 如果你也學過芭蕾舞,不論跟從毛妹還是王仁曼,不論你是否自認中國人,你看見這些大媽進駐香港街頭唱跳紅歌舞,以你的文化修養,不要告訴我,你沒有優越感。 此一優越感,十分正常,也很正確。因為你有美學(Aesthetics)的訓練。 所謂「優美」。在文明世界,美就是優越的。不過中國可能有中國的國情,在「文革」時代,紅衛兵批鬥化妝穿裙子的女子,帶有民國閨秀味者,其中一句罵人話,就是「臭美」。跳紅歌的中國大媽,可能是以醜為美的紅衛兵的一代,連大陸人都知道,現在中國許多老人很討厭,因為,當年的壞人,都變老了。 種族優越感,會帶來偏見,應予防範。富貧的優越感,屬人性之正常,但不值得提倡。品味的優越感,則極為需要,而且,還要提倡,因為美與醜之別,正是人魔之分,其間絕無「包容」。 這點常識,許多香港人是懂的,不然他們將子女送去學芭蕾舞鋼琴考皇家音樂試做什麼?但他們不敢說,因為怯懦。但是,一個專欄人和評論家,卻要說真話,這是他的天職,除非他天天交一張白紙,也有錢收。
