这世界并不缺少美,而是缺少发现美的眼睛。
——罗丹
一堆本来可以造就成不朽的艺术品的树根,被木匠认为“没用”而抛弃了。木匠上山,选的是“可用”之材,要么作柱,要么作栋,再不当用,也要作椽。这堆奇形怪状的树根做得了这些吗?做不了。难怪木匠要叹息“没用”而离它们远去。
作为木匠,他衡量木头是否有用的标准就是“实用”。其实,只要我们把视野稍微扩大一些,便可发现,像木匠这样用“实用”的眼光来看待事物的人还不在少数。找对象首先看他(她家是否有钱,评判学生首先看他的分数多少,结交朋友首先看他(她是否有利用价值……市场经济体制在促进经济发展的同时,也使人们形成了急功近利的实用主义观念。
我们是唯物主义者。我们承认人要生存,首先要解决衣食住行方面的问题。讲究一点实用,追求一点功利,本也无可厚非。但我们的目光不能只盯在“实用”和“功利”上。人为万物之灵,理应有除物欲之外的更高层次的追求。除了“实用”的眼光外,我们还要有审美的眼光。
用审美的眼光去看这个世界,可以发现许多美的东西,可以造就许多可造之才。根雕艺术家用审美的眼光发现了树根身上的美,把它们雕刻成了非常有价值的艺术品;钟子期用审美的耳朵听出了俞伯牙演奏的乐曲中的美,两人成了“高山流水”的知音;蔡元培用审美的眼光发现了行伍出身的沈从文文才的美,使沈从文成了北大著名的教授。
一堆树根在根雕艺术家的手里成了有价值的艺术品,一匹平常的马在伯乐眼里成了千里马,一块石头在天文学家眼里成了陨石,这一切都因为发现者用的是“审美”的眼光,而不是世俗的“实用”的眼光。
给我,给我一双审美的“慧眼”吧!为了奇形怪状的树根不被抛弃,为了千里马不“骈死于奴隶人之手”,为了这世界上的美不再被埋没。

Some fish are forced to leave polluted water and are flying in the sky. But unfortunately, air is also so polluted that they have to wear masks. Each of them is crying, “Where is my home?” What a terrible sight!
Mankind has brought so much pollution. Waste is being poured into rivers and seas. Poisons to kill pests in farming and chemicals go into rivers and seas, too. Poisonous gasses from factories also make the air so dirty. The whole balance of nature is being destroyed as a result of our ignorance of the environmental protection.
Personally, man can not live alone on the earth. Should fish die from serious pollution, so would man! It is high time we did something to prevent such a scene from happening.
