今天看的一篇范文:
ISSUE169. “Those who treat politics and morality as though they were separate realms fail to understand either the one or the other.”
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The issue indicates the tight connection of morality and politics, regarding
the two combines together as an organic integer. I agree with the author's view in the following points: connection between politics and morality, importance of understanding politics and morality refferencing each of the two. However, the writer overstates their connection, thinking that one who "separates the two fail to understand either the one or the other ".
In my opinion, politic and moral are two sharply different conceptions. As we know that politics concerns more about behalf of a country, interests of a party, right of a nation. While moral cares about humanity, love, and lenience(仁慈,厚道). Politics stands on the base of economy while moral's fundation is
nothing but human nature—ruth, sympathy, love. It is possible that one who adhere to moral donate someone with no any purpose, but out of the ture affection, while never attempt to persuade a politician spend his/her money on a deed which can do no contribution to add his/her party's profit. In some sense, politicians are those who are good at bragging and can turn a straw to gold with their mouth while moralists are those who are content to be cursed if with such cost those who they want to salve can be out of plight.
I don't mean that politician should be chastised for their ruthless, I mean that moralist and politicians are two distinguishing sorts. It should be understood that it is the requirement of the society shapes character of politicians, as in order to protect interest of the majority they have to blind to the minority ruthlessly. Politics is a macroscopical conception while moral is a microcosmic one, in the perspective of action of politician and moralists.
Writer of the issue gives us some apocalypse(启示) of understanding politic and moral on a completely new angle, but fails to see the different effect on people. Moral is an effective means by which politics can promulgate its policy into the heart of civilian, not just be heard or seen by them. Ironically, politics stands on a higher stage and hold the ability to see longer and further than moral, but what is usually eulogized(颂扬,称赞) is moral and politics always is regarded as plot or tools used for extortion, because politics can't cater every member in the society, on the opposite side, once moral falls on one, it brings the one benefit only, unlike policy which may impair behalf of someone.
In another aspect to say, the overlaping area do exist: politics can't exceed subscription of moral, the moral can be popularized without help of politics; politics need moral to appease riot in some area or field, the moral can't go out of peace that is ensured by politics. After all, both moral and politics are flowers that hanging in the tree of economy.
In all, relation between moral and politics is brotherhood, not spouse. Their connotations, function, effects, main purpose and basic principles are different. Meanwhile, in some circumstance and under some certain situation one who wants to understand the two thoroughly, it is better to take all possible factors into account. While such should be ingrained in his/her mind, the pith of politics is in politics and the essence of moral is in moral, never try to commingle the two together and confuse conceptions of the two with the false thought that the two is only two different sides of one thing.
