0一月二十日 为什么要追随权威
我们为什么要追随权威，接受他们的说法？追随了某个权威，接受了他的见解之后，我们又会开始质疑这一切。所以对大部分的人而言，寻求权威和后续的幻灭，其实是一种痛苦的历程。我们会去谴责或批评那个被我们认可的权威、领袖或精神导师，但从不检视一下为什么会渴望找到一个能指导我们的人。若是能了解这份渴望，就会明白“怀疑”是什么了。

Why do we follow?
Why do we accept, why do we follow? We follow another’s authority, another’s experience and then doubt it; this search for authority and its sequel, disillusionment, is a painful process for most of us. We blame or criticize the once accepted authority, the leader, the teacher, but we do not examine our own craving for an authority who can direct our conduct. Once we understand this craving we shall comprehend the significance of doubt.
