Negarakukuku

其實我不想講黃明志，因為我不認識他，更沒有欠他錢，他也沒有欠我錢，不過現在我卻講他，不是因為他又上新聞。

首先聲明，除了當年那首《Negarakuku》，我沒有聽過其他黃的歌，也幾乎沒有留意黃的新聞或動向，不過我知道他很紅，in and out都會有人提起他。除了講中文的地方，甚至在東歐國家也有人向我問起他。當然我的標準回答只是：“哦。”之外沒有評語（我原本寫comment，不過我改了，因為保持純中文比較好），因為我也不知道怎樣評。

關於黃，我要講的，也不是針對他，雖然通過各個管道的信息，他喜歡玩針對，不過我沒有確認，所以我不是針對他，只是一般觀點（我原本寫in general，不過我改了，因為保持純中文比較好）。

所以，我的一般觀點就是，不是每個時候我們都要看優點，然後就贊那些優點，而忽略了那些缺點。比如說，我們不會贊Isis的信仰很虔誠，也不能稱讚某冷血殺手頭腦冷靜、心思缜密、身手敏捷、槍法如神，原因是因為這些優點最終傷及他人，導致禍害。

就這麼簡單。
