甚麼是愛？這是一個複雜的哲學問題。 我從小都很疑惑：傳統文化、課本、宗教、學校、以至社會，都不斷重複「愛很重要、很美好，要愛人如己」等，把「愛」說得很簡單、很自然。事實上，我完全體會不到、亦無法理解。我也相信，大部分人其實對愛的真諦不甚了解，只不過是人云亦云、重複老生常談而已。 直至我有孩子以後，切身感受到「理解愛」的急切性；於是，我更積極地從心理學、哲學、以及日常生活去研究甚麼是愛。 關於「愛」的背後哲學，我推薦以下兩本書：德國哲學家Erich Fromm的《愛的藝術》（The Art of Loving），以及日本作家岸見一郎的《為愛徬徨的勇氣》。他們可說是為「愛」作出了最深入淺出的詮譯，跟社會上經常提到的愛有很大分別。 Erich Fromm提出「愛的四大要素」：照顧，責任，尊重和理解。 仔細一想，不少父母做到「照顧」和「責任」兩方面，就以為自己很愛孩子了。可是，單是這樣算不上愛；真正的愛，必須包括「尊重」和「理解」。 「尊重」孩子是獨立的個體，讓他自由發展，而不是要他符合自己的期望、在孩子「乖」和服從的時候才愛他——這一點，很多父母已經做不到。完全接納孩子的個性、不論孩子變成怎樣都堅定地愛孩子，這才是成熟的愛、無條件的愛。 而「理解」孩子，就更加不容易了；尤其孩子不會在你面前表現出他所有的樣貌，甚至孩子自己也不太理解自己。因此，要真正愛一個人，必須付出許多努力，並擁有足夠的智慧和人生經驗。 Erich Fromm的理論是：「愛」並不是與生俱來的能力，而是需要後天學習和實踐的。愛是藝術，是技巧；不付出努力的人，不學習、不思考、不練習的人，會缺乏愛人的能力。 這稍為解除了我小時候的疑惑。幸好我有兩個女兒，她們就是我學習和實踐的對象，使我領略到甚麼是無條件的愛，逐漸培養出「愛的能力」；這就是為人父母的幸福之處。 Source link
