防疫期間請戴口罩 因為個體即群體

甫到中部準備展開求婚任務
北部赫然槍聲四起 一聲確診 又一聲隔離
這兩天有股張力拉扯著我
介於網路新聞和山青水綠之間
撕裂著我 介於幸福和恐懼之間
.
雖然社會中 人人是相互影響的共同體
但我還是相信個體才是更真實的世界
看急診人的文章 播放醫療前線的戰亂緊張
我卻思索著牽手和戴戒的剪接順序
聽朋友的苦笑 笑自己沒了工作倒也輕鬆
我卻期待著診所能好好放我一個長假
你呢？
我們或許能多少知悉別人的生活
能真正體會的卻只有自己的狀態
.
我也好想幫忙治療需要的患者
我也好想能夠約束不戴口罩的人
我也好想扛回一箱箱疫苗
就像蚍蜉想著能撼樹
.
別講得像世界末日了吧
如果我出身急診或衛生單位 我會盡我的責任
如果我們不是
我們可以不要成為尊敬的他們的負擔
當作眼前空氣有病毒般地戴好口罩
當作鄰人是無症狀帶原者地保持距離
當作手上已沾染病毒般地勤消毒 避開眼口鼻
.
他人的課題難以干涉
個體的幸福 個體自己追尋
個體幸福的累積 豈非群體的幸福嗎

Once I arrived Taichung for a proposal mission,
Northern Taiwan was in chaos. Confirmed cases and isolation order suddenly became so familiar.
It feels like there are two forces pulling me at two extreme ends
I was at a place in between internet news and greenery
Tearing me apart, putting me in the fight of bliss and fear.
.
Although we are a whole entity in this society, I believe the world leans more towards individuals
Reading articles of the professionals working at the emergency room and listening to the news of the war zone like front line medical battleground, I was thinking about the sequence of my editing about holding hands and putting on a ring.
Listening to the bittersweet comments of my friends about being relaxed now that he’s jobless, I was hoping I could have a long break from my clinic.
What about you?
We get to know other people’s lives more or less but all we can feel about is only the state we are in.
.
I want to help cure patients in need
I want to be able to make those who don't wear masks abide the rules
I want to bring box after box of vaccine back
Like an ant trying to shake a big tree.
.
Stop acting like it’s the end of the world
If my position is at the emergency room or heath department, I would do my duties properly
If we are not, we should not add to the honourable ladies and gentlemen’s burden
Wear our masks properly as if the virus is in the air;
Keep our distanced with each other as if the person next to us is a patient without symptoms;
Sanitise our hands and avoid touching our noses and mouths as if our hands are in contact with the virus.
.
We cannot control what others do
But we can manage ourselves
Aren’t we creating a healthy community collectively when each of us fight the virus accordingly?
We are all in it together!
Let’s fight the virus! Taiwan and the world!
