由獨裁審美到獨裁社會
We are becoming more and more tyrannical. It is the tyranny of health and beauty. It is the tyranny of consensus. It is the tyranny of popular. It is the tyranny of homogeneity. It is the tyranny of opinion substantiated by science. Science proves that a healthy body looks like so, and what happens to be so is what is already considered by popular opinion to be beautiful. Overweight people will be increasingly marginalized, ridiculed and finally persecuted. Same with those considered ugly. The whole Susan Boyle incident should embarrass us back to some kind of philosophical restructuring of our values, should it not? An ugly person with a voice? A miracle! She’s a freak, not only because she’s ugly, but because she’s ugly AND she can sing!
There must be communities that live contrary to this tyranny. We must protest against this by encouraging, nurturing and applauding diversity in every facet of human life and expression.
我們能活出基督裡的自由嗎？
