most licentious man, were hell open before him, would not take the most

he desired me to remember, he, at my request, dictated to me as

With respect to original sin, the inquiry is not necessary; for

punishments, it is an opinion which has had possession of mankind in all

contradicted, from the beginning of the world. The great sacrifice for
the sins of mankind was offered at the death of the MESSIAH, who is
called in scripture "The Lamb of God, that taketh away the sins[399] of
the world." To judge of the reasonableness of the scheme of redemption,
it must be considered as necessary to the government of the universe,
that GOD should make known his perpetual and irreconcileable detestation
of moral evil. He might indeed punish, and punish only the offenders;
but as the end of punishment is not revenge of crimes, but propagation
of virtue, it was more becoming the Divine clemency to find another
manner of proceeding, less destructive to man, and at least equally
powerful to promote goodness. The end of punishment is to reclaim and
warn. _That_ punishment will both reclaim and warn, which shews
evidently such abhorrence of sin in GOD, as may deter us from it, or
strike us with dread of vengeance when we have committed it. This is
effected by vicarious punishment. Nothing could more testify the
opposition between the nature of GOD and moral evil, or more amply
display his justice, to men and angels, to all orders and successions of
beings, than that it was necessary for the highest and purest nature,
even for DIVINITY itself, to pacify the demands of vengeance, by a
painful death; of which the natural effect will be, that when justice is
appeased, there is a proper place for the exercise of mercy; and that
such propitiation shall supply, in some degree, the imperfections of our
obedience, and the inefficacy of our repentance: for, obedience and
repentance, such as we can perform, are still necessary. Our SAVIOUR has
told us, that he did not come to destroy the law, but to fulfill; to
fulfill the typical law, by the performance of what those types had
foreshewn; and the moral law, by precepts of greater purity and higher
exaltation.'
[Here he said, 'GOD bless you with it.' I acknowledged myself much
obliged to him; but I begged that he would go on as to the propitiation
being the chief object of our most holy faith. He then dictated this one
感觉自己每年新年，都会调出这个视频放一下。
各位，新年快乐！
《转贴》当人类深陷苦难时，听听肖斯塔科维奇的圆舞曲我长期
寻求内心的平静，
我发现狂喜，我发现苦难，
我发现孤独。
我发现噬咬心灵的
孤单痛苦，
然而我没有发现平静。
这是英国哲学家罗素年轻时写的一首小诗，阅读时与之共鸣。不管怎么寻求平静，我们似乎都逃脱不了时代重大事件带给人类的跌宕苦砺。如此，我们来听听肖斯塔科维奇的华尔兹圆舞曲，无论全球深陷怎样的病疫， 无论你身处何种境况，生活仍需从容优雅，直至翩翩起舞。
waltz No.2久负盛名，是肖斯塔科维奇《第二号爵士组曲》中的“第二圆舞曲”，又称“ 抒情舞曲”。它的旋律深具俄罗斯民族特色。音乐主调为淡淡的忧伤，辅之以华尔兹曲式舒缓，那是一种沉重下的抒情。作品自然如风地带着人性的温暖和希望，它的郑重自持，如同一种秩序，一种道理。名为爵士，实则跟当时流行的爵士不一样；而作为华尔兹，跟施特劳斯家族的圆舞曲也不一样。尤其混杂手风琴的演奏版本，更有一种浓烈的伏特加味道，让人沉醉于其中，美不自持。
《第二号爵士组曲》创作于1938年，正值二战前夕，共由八段不同风格的音乐组成。音乐随时代而发展变化，爵士乐作为当时音乐新体裁，崇尚即兴演奏。由萨克斯管主奏，在强弱拍倒置，采取连续切分音的手法，使节奏变化无穷。肖斯塔科维奇，作为音乐天才是相当深刻的，崇高的，他的天才的丰富程度足以使他能嗅到音乐发展的微小变化，并在音乐的广大领域内占据一个应有的地位。他把爵士乐贯彻于自己的音乐创作中。他的爵士组曲，几乎不用切分音，和声方面，让人感觉突然的不和谐和弦也甚少，只是配器上还是加入了四把萨克斯作为主奏，与爵士乐沾沾边。他为什么这样创作？或许，他考量更多的是，在当时社会政治环境之下不得不采取的一种折中吧。
作品诞生在严酷时代，感情仍然像温泉一样地涌出，它的浪花仍然灼热炙人，体现了一种灵感和力量。就像歌德《维特》一样，它重要的意义不仅是一个人孤立的感情和痛苦，而是整个时代的感情、憧憬和痛。或者说，舒展摇曳之中的华尔兹，不单展现肖斯塔科维奇应有的艺术审美旨趣，还透露出他像哲学家一样对生命的思考以及对苦难的敏感度。
俄罗斯广袤的大地和悲壮的历史，孕育了无数天才音乐家和他们的音乐。诗歌里有生命和爱情，它的重复与民间故事里的反复类似。音乐里有神性和人性，它的回旋超越宇宙法则的存在。作为被特殊时期批评为“形式主义”音乐，现在的我们疑窦丛生。俄罗斯形式主义文论学家什克罗夫斯基认为：艺术的目的就是唤回人对生活的感受，达到这目的的手法就是使之陌生化，使艺术形式复杂化，增加感受的难度，延长感受的时间。托洛茨基更提出，对于形式的执著是一种唯美主义。肖斯塔科维奇的音乐是否为形式主义音乐，如今的我们不在乎，我们在乎的，是音乐诉说的深层次感情，那些白桦林深处的忧伤以及忍受苦难的人民的灵魂深处；我们在乎的，是音乐家用情感和形式的完全统一来表现自己，也就是说，作曲家对于自己所采用的形式所具有的意识——是一切艺术中，尤其是音乐中天才的最重要的标志之一。
生命被置于一种流动的运动中，如奔涌流动的水。变幻莫测的时代，大多数人陷入时代的迷阵之中。《哈雷姆特》的经典台词“我该活着还是饮弹自尽？或者确切地说，“生存还是毁灭”，这样把自己塞进一个戏剧传统之中。肖斯塔科维奇，这个极其才华横溢的悲剧天才，他的音乐就是一部数十年的编年史。他的一生经历了俄国十月革命，斯大林统治的全程，大清洗，二战，战后的反犹太运动，任何经历了这整个时代的人都可以称得上命途多舛。因为，生存的理想都被这无所不轧的碾子所轧碎。人的激情之火已被扑灭，剩下的只有谋虑、理智以及对和平的渴望。从音乐中，我们相信肖斯塔科维奇绝对有一颗纯真浪漫的心， 华尔兹严肃而古典的抒情似乎比俄罗斯历史和文学中残酷而现实的眼泪更具有人性的真实。
听着这散发着淡淡忧伤的抒情华尔兹，不知为什么眼睛会湿润。音乐，在很多人心中是一道永恒的光。音乐家不仅在感情上是自然的儿子，而且就天才是自然的最高发展来说，他就是自然本身。他自然地给我们挖了一个温柔的陷阱，人陷进去了，再难走出来，即使再出来，也会永远回眸。或者对于聆听者而言，更多是作品对爱的解读，尤其是关于爱情。都说爱情白日梦有着强大的魅力，往往都来自一些被反复呈现，实则无比抽象的情感母题：遥不可及的凝视，汹涌的爱欲，禁忌带来的欢愉，当爱逝去时无力和疲惫，如此等等，当然，还有最令人向往却不可得的永恒不朽。作品所述的所有秘密，它与陷入爱河的秘密相同。
簇拥着心爱的人共舞此一曲，会清楚知道，生活中美好的时刻往往非常短暂，有时候它还没开始就已经结束了，然而它所带来的影响让人永世难忘。
肖斯塔科维奇第11交响曲
前苏联的音乐，被称为一种艺术的痛苦。回想帕斯捷尔纳克的诗就不难理解其中端倪： “万籁俱寂之时，我登上舞台，轻轻倚靠在门边。回声自远处传来，我从中捕捉此世的安排。”百折千回断复连，落花流水太匆匆，在喧嚣和莫名的愤怒中挣扎，时间在乱世谜语中瞬间流逝。肖斯塔科维奇，他让我们如此深爱我们的爱与痛。我们为什么而活着，要有怎样的力量，才能够支撑度过无数至暗时刻？我们希望拥有永恒地球的美妙，也看得到天空绽放星星的光芒。

新年愉快，土豆必胜
做配乐，土豆分析一下，到底是为啥呢？
后来更多的电影当配乐用了，比如《大开眼界》。
"人类腐朽腐败腐蚀之路" 是他38年初创想表达的？《The First Echelon》没看过，感觉也不是"人类腐朽腐败腐蚀之路" 。
苏联的劳动场面，我咋感觉是革命下的浪漫啊。
好辛苦啊。。。
从人性角度讲，诱惑达到一定程度，是任何美德都抗拒不了的。
但是站在地狱门口，哪怕是天下最放荡不羁的人，也不会把一个最标志的妓女揽于怀内。
荷兰妓女都合法化。。。“约翰逊博士传“这句话貌似很歧视妓女的职业啊。。
其实很多妓女人品并不低劣， 从事这种职业很多是环境的原因造成的， 比如雨果的悲惨世界， 中国古代青楼也有很多例子。。。
人的本性和品质才是最重要的， 如果一个人的本性低劣， 阴暗， 龌龊， 这种类型的人大部分概率肯定是要下地狱的。
