拉近与真相的距离

能被思考的东西必定是虚构的东西。--尼采

法国作家加缪在《鼠疫》一文中说:“这一切里面并不存在英雄主义，这只是诚实的问题……唯一方式只能是诚实。”诚然，真相本身并不造成恐慌，真相的缺席才令人恐慌。

在这个前所未有的全民发声时代，每件事都有可能出现无数个“真相”。有人说，“一个新闻事件出来，不反转三次都不能表态。”2018年有个在泳池打孩子的视频颇受关注，舆论一边倒地谴责打孩子一方时，当事人安医生受不了压力选择自杀。此时才有人关注起事件整个过程，孩子被打是因为做了不当行为，打孩子视频只是整个事件一部分，然而大众却片面猜想原因，致使原本无辜的人成了众矢之的的谩骂对象。面对随时切换的热点，如果不注意事件叙述的全面性和客观性，就发表偏激观点造成信息误传，那么拿起这把杀人不见血的刀的人，有可能就是身边的你和我。所以，在对待“真相”时，我们再也不能简单地选择接受或相信。

细思现在众多社会热点，在事实真相浮出水面之前，发现大众舆论的情绪已占据了道德制高点。我们往往更容易接受与我们现有思维模式相符的“真相”，而抗拒那些与我们内心观点相冲突的“真相”。罗一笑事件中，舆论主流从同情到谴责，李文亮去世后，从散布谣言到致敬英雄，无疑都是给迟到的真相一记口响亮的耳光。美国新闻评论家李普曼说:“人们总是按照既有的成见解释世界并采取行动。”也就是说，我们在对待一件事时，往往是用自己所持有的价值观、知识、思维去“分析”这件事情。与其说我们是在解读新闻事件背后的“真相”，倒不如说我们是在寻求大众情绪上的共鸣。而某些既得利益者正是利用大众的偏见思想隐藏或歪曲事情“真相”，引导事情向着他们认为有利的方向发展。故而，作为“吃瓜群众”的我们，面对热点新闻“真相”时，是不是应该多点理智、少些起哄，多点等待、少些激愤，让“新闻飞一会儿”，不要轻意妄下定论以至掀起“网络暴力”的狂欢。

其实，很多事情的真相我们往往很难得知，即便得知真相我们也无力改变什么。作为年轻吾辈，应在情绪占上风时能够不忘理性面对，在观点形成时能够不忘对真相探索，做一个理性讨论的传播者，而不是一个情绪无处安放的发泄者。

我想，只要内心葆有理性的价值标杆，你想“看见”的真相就不会太远。

Something that can be thought of must be something fictitious. - Nietzsche

The French writer Camus said in the article "The Plague": "There is no heroism in all this, it is just a matter of honesty... The only way is honesty." It is true that the truth itself does not cause panic, and the absence of the truth It's scary.

In this unprecedented era of the voice of the whole people, there may be countless "truths" in everything. Someone said, “If a news incident comes out, you can’t express your opinion without reversing it three times.” In 2018, a video of beating a child in a swimming pool attracted much attention. When public opinion condemned the beating of the child overwhelmingly, Dr. An could not stand the pressure and chose to commit suicide. At this time, some people paid attention to the whole process of the incident. The child was beaten because of improper behavior. The video of the child was only part of the whole incident. However, the public speculated one-sidedly for the reason, and the originally innocent person became the target of abuse. In the face of hotspots that switch at any time, if you do not pay attention to the comprehensiveness and objectivity of the narrative of the incident, and you publish extreme views and cause misinformation, then the person who picked up this murderous knife may be you and me next to you. Therefore, when dealing with "truth", we can no longer simply choose to accept or believe.

Thinking carefully about the many social hotspots now, before the truth emerges, it is found that the mood of public opinion has occupied the moral commanding heights. We are more likely to accept "truths" that are consistent with our existing thinking patterns, and resist those "truths" that conflict with our inner views. In the Luo Yixiao incident, the mainstream of public opinion went from sympathy to condemnation. After Li Wenliang's death, from spreading rumors to paying tribute to the hero, it was undoubtedly a resounding slap in the face of the late truth. The American news critic Lippman said: "People always interpret the world and take action based on existing prejudices." In other words, when we deal with something, we often use our own values, knowledge, and thinking. To "analyze" this matter. Rather than saying that we are interpreting the "truth" behind news events, it is better to say that we are seeking public emotional resonance. Some people with vested interests are using the prejudices of the public to hide or distort the "truth" of things, and to guide things in the direction they think is advantageous. Therefore, as the "people who eat melons", when facing the "truth" of hot news, should we be more rational, less booing, wait more, less irritated, and let "the news fly for a while" instead of being rash Draw a conclusion and even set off a carnival of "Internet violence".

In fact, it is often difficult for us to know the truth of many things. Even if we know the truth, we cannot change anything. As young people, we should not forget to face it rationally when emotions prevail, explore the truth when forming opinions, and be a communicator of rational discussions, not a venter with nowhere to put emotions.

I think that as long as you have a rational value benchmark in your heart, the truth you want to "see" will not be too far away.
