How Do I Love Thee?
Elizabeth Barrett Browning 1806 –1861
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

孔子在《周易·系辞下》有“德薄而位尊,智小而谋大,力小而任重,鲜不及矣。” 中国人常常说“德不配位,必有灾殃”。一个不能胜任的人却在这个岗位,回答问题这么弱智!令我想到另外一个政治人物是几年前的英国女首相特拉斯。
我们周边这样的官也不少。
