如何回应谣传(之一)

Aug 3, 2024

“各国都在谣传,基善也说……”(尼希米记6:6)

避免批评的唯一方法,就是全然缄默不语,毫无作为。当你尽力做有价值或有意义的事情时,别人就会谈论你。尼希米的敌人试图以流言蜚语和含沙射影的攻击使他停下重建耶路撒冷城墙的工程:“各国都在谣传,基善也说,你和犹太人计划谋反,因而才修建城墙,据说你要做他们的王。你还派先知在耶路撒冷指着你预言说,‘犹大有王了。’如今王必听到这些传闻。所以你还是来与我们一同商议吧。”(尼希米记6:6-7)请留意,敌人并没有提供指控尼希米的来源,只是说:“各国都在谣传。”当有人来对你说以下的话时,你要时刻做好准备——“我听说……”或“有人说……”或“街坊传闻……”永远不要接受那些代表他人所给你的批评;他们甚至不提及批评者的姓名,而且也非本人向你当面质询。即使是诽谤,也不能阻止尼希米进行他的工程。请留意他如何回应:“我就派人答复他说:‘你所说的并非事实,是你心里捏造的。’”(尼希米记6:8)换句话说,就是:“我不在意你如何揣度,如何论断,或怀何种意图,我都要坚持,直到城墙建成。”你也必须持有这样的态度。大多情况下,你的朋友不需要解释,而你的敌人,即便你枪口直指,他们也不会相信。因此,保持专注,完成工作。
