多伦多市井民情

多伦多市井民情

每个周日,主日崇拜早上,如果你8:20am之前,来到证道浸信会,美丽径教堂停车场,天气温暖的话,你会见到不少老年华人在晨练。其中一位老太太在练功,非常使劲买力,似乎有点夸张搞笑。她非常健谈,性格开朗,来自香港,1968年,她二十岁时,经人介绍,移民多伦多嫁人,既不浪漫,更没有什么新婚蜜月期,登陆第二天即开始打工,时薪九毛钱,根本无心倒时差。她对我说,就是要急于从穷困中解脱出来,一天打二份工。过去,很久以前,华人以为,北美到处都是金,不留心的话,会绊倒人!?那个时候,ttc 公车票,1加元可买12张,0.9加元可以买二打鸡蛋,50加元可租住30 平方米的房。半独立房价仅二万五千加元。还记得,十五年前,一位老人说,1945 年,在多伦多郊外租住一层独立屋只要6加元。简直是白给,难以置信?!

反观今天的物价,当下的钱是乱飞的纸张,过去的钱购买力极强,真是值钱。世上无论什么样的政治制度社会,政府一边宣传说,国家会变得更伟大,民族会复兴,另一方面,又总是采用印钞票发钱、通货膨胀的手段来促进经济发展,这等同于隐形的使打工者手中的货币贬值?这样可以強迫大众去消费、打工、再消费,进入一怪圈循环?

有人的地方就有精明的聪明大佬,这些大佬就是江湖,把持世界经济的走向,掌控老百姓的经济命脉。有江湖的地方就有派别。世界经济学大佬当然也有派别,各派争当政府智库,参与顶层设计。我们的社会究竟是发展、还是倒退?我们幸福吗?心中有平安吗?是聪明反被聪明误?打工能成瘾,政治家说谎也是如此?

不少人喜欢每天早上在教会门前,空旷场地上练功健身,海阔天空的聊养生,但就是不愿向前迈一步,走进教会听福音,没有悟性,没有属灵味口,心眼打不开。打工有时,哭泣有时,唱歌有时,跳舞有时,悟性有时,耐心等待,不停的祷告吧。
