“我要听。我必须听——一字不漏”。这是俄狄浦斯对唯一知晓其残酷命运的老牧人说的话。他预感到了可怕的真相,知晓自己已是置身悬岩。但他临渊不惧,并最后履行了自己的诺言:剌瞎双目,让使命和宿命同时展开。自毁双目后,一道尖厉的光芒已深入内心。每当我读到他这句话,就会产生深深的心理痛楚和眩晕。不要以为俄狄浦斯洞晓的只是他个人或城邦的命运,在我看来,他的遭际实际上预言了人类精神大势的无限期酷烈发展。尽管我们为这种永劫回归所主宰,但这并不说明我们能够和可以放弃作为一个醒悟了的个人所必须承担的责任。这也是我理解的所有严肃文学和前提。 “I want to hear, I must listen - without word.” This is what Oedipus said to the only old shepherd who knew his cruel fate. He foretold the terrible truth that he knew he was stuck in a rock. But he did not fear, and finally fulfilled his promise: blind blind eyes, so mission and fate at the same time. Self-destruct both eyes, a sharp light has been deep inside. Whenever I read him this sentence, it will have a deep psychological pain and dizziness. Do not think that Oedipus knew only the fate of his own person or city-state. In my opinion, his experience actually predicted the indefinite and fierce development of the great spiritual power of mankind. Although we are governed by this eternal return, this does not indicate the responsibility we can and must give up as a rewarded individual. This is all serious literature and premise I understand.
