Hugo: 林肯《蓋茲堡演說》裡的永恆核心價值

在賓夕法尼亞蓋茲堡墓地(Gettysburg National Cemetery)裡,小草在唱《The Gettysburg Address》歌,“Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate, we can not consecrate, we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”

小草又將最後一句歌詞重覆唱了許多次,“That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”

微風說,這歌的核心字是‘under God’,如果沒有‘under God’,這歌就將是《虛無》(Ecc 1:1-18)歌,這歌就將變成《上海灘唱談死豬浮江事件》,那些浮江的死豬一直在拒絕聽與唱這‘under God’歌詞,不是嗎?

 黎明時,天空中的飛鳥唱著《The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom》歌,“The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom. All those doing them have a good insight. His praise is standing forever.”(Ps 111:10)
