走私勝地

海水玻璃般清澈,水深十多呎下,石頭也清晰可見,加上和暖海風和細白幼沙,此地絕對稱得上是「走私勝地」。 不要誤會,醫生並非指跟小三「走私」地方,而是指真正走私毒品。Norman’s Cay是巴哈馬南方一個小島,其著名之處是哥倫比亞大毒梟Carlos Lehder,在一九七八至一九八二年間,把這小島化作運毒品中心,增設小型機場,以便毒販把來自南美的毒品,運至小島作中轉站,加油後再低飛避過雷達,運送毒品到美國佛羅里達州(Florida)。 當年小島上只有毒販沒有警察,這期間的胡作非為可想而知,最終巴哈馬聯同美國政府奪回小島,Carlos Lehder也在一九八七年落網成階下囚。 現今,Norman’s Cay已發展成旅遊勝地,全島最主要景點是海底飛機殘骸,這架頗完整的Curtiss C-46小型運輸機躺在淺灘,退潮時,醫生甚至可以站在機翼上,觀賞五光十色熱帶魚穿梭於雙腳中,機身穿了個大洞,只需用簡單浮潛方法已可走進機艙。 至於為何此飛機落在淺灘則眾說紛紜,有說是因運毒負重過量而起飛失敗,又有說是因機師醉駕不遂,原因為何實不重要,最重要是這景點代表着小島的走私歷史,也是當年可卡因毒害氾濫的主要渠道。 若適逢到巴哈馬旅遊,不妨到此「走私勝地」玩玩。 撰文 : 莫樹錦 欄名 : 醫筆稱心 Source link

窮養

現代生兒育女矜貴,對下一代無限寵溺,如奴如婢服侍周到。 小孩子成長在一個順利而飽暖的生態中,沒法適應生命中出現的無常和困難,也無法學懂面對挫折。在父母眼中如珠如寶的掌聲中,看不到自己的不足,也看不見別人的優點。在這種虛幻的世界成長,帶着上一代的讚美和盼望,以為自己真的可以做小太空人或愛因斯坦。 「窮養」的概念,是透過生活上合理的匱乏,讓孩子在生活中接受訓練和挑戰,從而學會負責、獨立和顧及他人的性格和觀念。飯來張口,盡情滿足小孩要求的生活,就連起碼的成就動機也不曉得把握;面對人生的挑戰,會變得毫無所謂;人生不如意事十常八九,在人生的高低跌宕裏,很容易變得意志薄弱,消沉度日,甚至不懂珍惜生命;在年少的時候體會人生的不足和缺陷,長大後對別人的不幸處境會多一份體會。廣東人有句老話「千金難買少年窮」,沒有這些歷練,人生是何等蒼白。 中國傳統有所謂「培福」:福氣是要培養的。揮霍和寵幸,只會損耗孩子的福報。先使未來錢,享受非其位的物質及福祿,會折壽和對其將來有大損耗。因此養育孩子最重要是多做善事,物質享受適可而止。 孩童在如此生態成長,從小到大,都是活在熾熱的慾望中,不需努力,也不必負責。 撰文 : 侯鈞翔 欄名 : 膚識翔談 Source link
