老人的存在意義?

□編按:台灣已進入高齡化社會,就如同其它進入高齡化社會一般,台灣的老人也迎接面臨著各種難題與危機,政府的老人政策除了發放老人年金與開放成立營利為目的之老人安養機構外,就是通過<家庭扶養法>以強迫將老人丟給子女承受!其實,老人是一個充滿異質的社會群體,有像李登輝這樣退而不休的老政客,依自玩弄著“老人政治”,也有像王永慶這樣的超級財團掌門人,依自左右著台灣政經發展,但是,絕大多數脫離雇佣關係勞動崗位的老人,卻被當作「報廢」勞動力而遭到歧視與遺棄!<蜂報>每星期一固定刊出<另類銀髮族>新版文章,以提供讀者迴異於目前主流的老人生活方式。

忙忙碌碌隨著時光流逝,不論他(或她)對社會做出了多少貢獻,對家庭付出了多少心力,終究脫離不了面臨老化的命運,就像一部機器日月不停的運轉,它創造出應有的產品,產生應有的利潤,造福多少人的生活,一旦老化,經過修理可能會再度加入生產,也可能就此報廢當作廢鐵一文不值,頂多來個「資源回收」後的剩餘性利用價值。

但是,人畢竟不是機器,他(或她)擁有豐富的情感,也有盡義務的本能,於是,在生命過程中,發展出有別於其它生物或無生命的特殊倫理情感與倫理歷史。然而,在科技文明與資本主義體制的宰制下,人,卻快淪成機器!當人有如機器地運轉造就一生的光輝歲月後,也和機器一樣,要被棄置於廢鐵場!

人老了,需求也減少了;溫暖的被褥、熱騰騰的三餐、一個溫馨的生活環境、病痛有人知曉、往生有人照料.....,其實就是這樣簡單而已。

針對老人問題,古老中華民族原來具有一套倫理規範系統以因應解決,但社會經濟結構的變遷、高齡化社會的來臨,以及生育率下降導致人口結構失衡,致使那套倫理規範系統不再能滿足新時代的需求了!老人問題日益嚴重了,我們和老人們都必須重新思考,老人的存在意義。

有一天,一個老人發現一覺醒來,身處環境都變得那麼美好,子女圍繞四周,花團錦簇,自己身穿華服而又美食當前,這一切完美極致,不禁嘴角開懷微笑了起來,長嘆一口氣心想,我從來沒有這樣被禮遇過!

然而,當老人闔眼享受,而再度睜開時,卻又換了一幕場景;兒子帶著手銬腳鐐正一步一步離開,腳銬手鐐拖地的摩擦聲刺耳至極,女兒疲憊而含淚凝視著他,而他整個身軀卻被塞入一個小小的圓石頭甕內,手腳難以伸展,睜眼之前的「完美極致」全消失了!

在他面前,出現了幾頭從未見過的怪生物,引領著他那近似漂浮的身軀來到一個陌生莫名的世界,他驚慌了!但眼前眾相卻比之前的「完美極致」更加完美啊!

沒有一個人不帶著微笑跟他打招呼,美的不能再美的環境,更多他以前想吃都吃不到的美食,超乎他想像與奢求的完美!只是引領他的怪生物告訴他,你再也見不到你的朋友、親戚、子女,但你長久地在這裡生活與享受。他迷惘了!
不行!我兒子做生意失敗欠了很多的錢,而且還在服刑,我要幫他還債!還有我的女兒,剛離婚又帶著二個小孩,她也需要我幫助,我還是得回去!當老人提出回去的要求時,引領他的怪生物不見了,而他那漂浮的身軀,也不知身在何處,只是永遠地漂浮著.....

以上的故事,是由南投縣埔里鎮<菩提長青村>一個往生老人的遺言,及在告別式時,子女前來奠祭的真實情況加以編寫而成。我們的老人當了子女一輩子的父母,卻無怨無悔,而子女能為老人做些什麼呢?更重要的是,社會又能為老人提供些什麼呢?是老人年金、老人安養院?還是更有尊嚴、更有勞動創造性與更具互助合作的老人社區?

<蜂報>註:
南投縣埔里鎮<菩提長青村>是921震災後,由王子華夫婦和民間愛心人士共同協力打造的獨居老人社區,免費安置供養獨居老人,要特別強調的是,歷經三年多獨力的打拼、摸索與實驗,發展出許多學者誇讚的老人新生活方式與新價值,但是,卻從未獲得官方的援助,反之,卻遭到私營老人安養機構與政府的聯手打壓!

All the choir of heaven and furniture of earth - in a word, all those bodies which compose the mighty frame of the world - have not any subsistence without a mind.

Certainly it is wrong to be cruel to animals and the destruction of a whole species can be a great evil. The capacity for feelings of pleasure and pain and for the form of life of which animals are capable clearly impose duties of compassion and humanity in their case.

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof was to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

The difference between man and woman is like that between animals and plants. Men correspond to animals, while women correspond to plants because their development is more placid and the principle that underlies it is the rather vague unity of feeling.

Every prescription medication has certain side effects. Lipitor is no different, however its side effects are infrequent and relatively mild.

The chief merit of language is clearness, and we know that nothing detracts so much from this as do unfamiliar terms.

Christianity taught that men ought to be as chaste as pagans thought honest women ought to be. The contraceptive morality teaches that women need to be as little chaste as pagans thought men need be.
