时光匣子|经典美文朱自清.正义主播：师白背景音乐：1.无伤曲-西皮士 2.Light-Kourosh Dini 3.BWV 1041 _ II. Andante-Lara St. John 4.-BWV 1042 _ II. Adagio-Lara St. John你是个会站出来维护正义的人吗？ 如果声张正义于你自身的利益有损，甚至有可能葬送你的前程，还愿意站出来吗？如果代价不仅是前程，连性命也会受到威胁呢？如果后果波及你的爱人、亲朋，你的答案是否仍旧肯定？你看，正义感这东西，绝大多数人都有，可惜它常在谴责他人时积极发挥作用，常在向内自省时失声失灵。正义在荆棘丛里，人们乐于远远观赏称赞。一旦需要上前捡拾它，少不得先想到泥会弄脏鞋、刺会扎破手，百般顾虑千种担忧。极端情况下，以鲜血捍卫正义的行为，更是要与人类求生本能相悖了。“我绝不会见死不救”“我绝不可能任由人胡作非为” 我们表白自己的良善，信誓旦旦做着理想的声明，与道德败坏、是非不分者干干净净地划清界限。难道那从生命垂危的小女孩身边走过的18名路人是天下最冷血无情之人约好了在同一时间同一地点出现吗？难道你我比文革时期全国沉默的国民都正直上不止一点两点？见义勇为认证难，英雄流血又流泪，助人者反被法律制裁，反贪反污反遭报复，因救人而致残丧命的人得不到应有的扶助凄惨度日……屡见报端的这些怪现状，舆论和政府自觉或不自觉的引导难道不会令一个平凡人自然生出“就算我不救人应该也会有别人救”的自私念头吗？我们需凭良心做事，不能因噎废食，因为害怕惹祸上身就漠视生命。社会需要匡扶正义的英雄。可是社会是不是也需要一个让普通人在权衡轻重后仍愿意选择护卫正义的环境呢？2015-09-2513 min

Think vs. Observe
Do thoughts ever “hook” you and not let go? Many people (including addicts) find that negative-sounding tapes run in their heads, and they don’t know how to control them.

Podcast la música de les esferesLa música de les esferes (11)Ja fa uns quants dies, al Violí Vermell, aprofitant que dedicaven un programa al gran Wim Mertens, ens preguntaven si creïem que la música minimalista és clàssica. Jo no gosaré donar cap resposta, ja que al bloc del programa hi podeu trobar una bona colla de teories. El que sí que faré és dedicar un programa de la música de les esferes a la música minimalista (¿clàssica o electrònica?): només serà un petit tast de tot el que podeu trobar a la xarxa en música lliure.
