Qiu's Rhetoric（68）
Ma Xiaoqiu:Human karma creates the era
我想大多数的人都在一些媒体发布的文章中，看见一批50后、60后在报怨自己生不逢时：赶上“上山下乡”，赶上“高考如千军万马过独木桥”，赶上“计划生育”，赶上“下岗潮”等等不如人意的事情。
I think in some articles published by the media,most people saw a group of people born in 1950s and 1960s complaining about their misfortunes:they were catching up with the“going up the mountain and going to the countryside”,catching up with"college entrance examination like thousands of horses crossing a log bridge",and catching up with the"family planning",catching up with the"lay-offs tide"and other things that are not satisfactory.
从事物的表象来看，这的确是50后、60后不可否认的亲身经历，但人世间任何事情的发生都是因缘决定的。50后、60后为什么会赶上这个时代呢？凡事物因缘合，有前因才能有后果，前因是50后、60后这批人由于相同的善恶之因，而产生了相同的善恶之果。说到底就是50后、60后这批人在过去生中都有着相同的善行和恶行，从而造就了一个属于50后、60后的时代。这一时代现象的发生，不是时代造就的，更不是时代強加给我们的，是我们自己的善恶之因决定了我们必定造就这样一个时代。我们自己种的因，当然要由我们自己来承受。
Judging from the appearance of things,this is indeed an undeniable personal experience in the post-50s and the 60s.However,the occurrence of anything in the world is determined by the cause.Why did you catch up with this era after 50 and 60?All things can be contingent due to their affinities.The premise is that the 50th and 60th generations of people have the same results of good and evil because of the same causes of good and evil.In the final analysis,the 50th and 60th generations of people in the past all had the same kind of good deeds and evil acts,thus creating an era that belongs to the 50s and 60s.The occurrence of this era is not caused by the times.What is more,it is not imposed on us by the times.Our own cause of good and evil determines that we must create such an era.The cause of our own planting,of course,must be borne by ourselves.
仼何一个时代的现象都代表着这个时代的人们的过去和现在，同样，未来的时代怎样，也取决于我们这一时代的所思所行。任何一个时代都是人创造的，千百年来，人们谱写着历史的篇章，光辉灿烂与阴霾笼罩，都在同一时代互相碰撞、互相制约、互相促进，这就是道的阴阳之理。
The phenomena of any era all represent the past and the present of people in this era.Similarly,what is the future era will also depend on the thinking and acting of our time.Every era is created by the people.For thousands of years,the people have written chapters in history.They are brilliant and hazy.They both collide with each other,constrain each other,and promote each other in the same era.This is the reason for the Yin and Yang of Tao.
