界 限
陶 杰

近期,厨房的地板上经常出现蚂蚁。我们都很奇怪,二楼怎么会有蚂蚁呢!一次又一次的侵犯,终于让妻忍无可忍。昨天,她花了一个下午跟踪调查,总算找到了这些家伙的老窝。阳台上有一堆煤,它们就是从那儿爬出来的。一锄下去,密密麻麻全是蚂蚁和蚁蛋。
妻尖叫着,一铲接一铲地把煤往楼下的玉米地里倒。煤都倒得我们心疼了,蚂蚁还在没完没了地冒出来。它们洪水般四处漫延,搞得妻手忙脚乱。
“杀虫刹!”我喊道,并以百米短跑的速度冲进屋里。
妻见我手持药瓶,马上退居一旁,把阵地让给我。群蚁仓皇失措,东奔西突如丧家之犬。我摇摇瓶里的药液,对着它们,一阵喷射。
“爸爸,它们会死吗?”四岁的儿子突然问道。他刚才跟着妈妈忙得不亦乐乎,喷药前被拉开了。
“有的已经死了。”
“可是……可是你说过,蚂蚁是有生命的!”
我马上停住。药雾消散,我发现能动弹的蚂蚁已经没有几只了,那几只,也不过是作垂死挣扎而已。我缓缓地转过身去,看着我的儿子。他还没有窗台高呢!妈妈尖声大叫的时候,他在一旁叽叽喳喳,欢呼雀跃,现在却一言不发,呆呆地站在那里,眼里噙着晶莹的泪珠……
我过去,在他面前蹲下来,本想拉拉他的小手,一伸手却发现它已经沾了一些毒液,又缩回来。
“爸爸确实说过,蚂蚁是有生命的——”我不知道如何自圆其说。我希望找到一个既能说服儿子,又能说服自己的理由。“虫子,比如路上的虫子,我们就不能伤害……但是家里的,就像这些蚂蚁,如果我们不清除它们,它们就会爬到我们的锅里、碗里去,弄脏食物,我们吃了就会生病……那多糟啊,你说该怎么办呢?”
儿子没有说话。
“××是有生命的!”我曾不厌其烦地向儿子重复这句话。但是,当这个生命一妨碍、一侵犯我们,我们便马上欲除之而后快。
我对这个世界,以及这个世界上脆弱和不幸的生命,皆心存善意——天地良心,这是真的!同样真实的是,至善、大爱,我心向往之,但做不到!一两只让我不厌其烦的飞蛾,我可以轻手轻脚捉住它放出去,但面对千万只潮水般涌来的蚂蚁,我也只有大开杀戒了。
我看见在小善和大爱之间,有一道高高的界限。我还看见,在这边,也有人不时停下来,擦擦额头的汗水,踮起脚尖伸长脖子,向那边眺望……

所谓人文关怀,其实是一个矛盾体。

是的,如果人类不能自我牺牲,对其它生命的关怀可能永远是一句空话!但自我牺牲,何其难啊!
