离开了Albany，对接下来的旅行本身已经没有太多的期待。现在就是一种回家的期待，下面一周到10天的时间将是一个由西向东的穿越。
不过上次去阿德莱德已经是十多年前的事情了，也许我不应该用老观念装满自己的想象空间。
After leaving Albany, I no longer have much anticipation for the trip itself. Now it’s more of a longing to go home, and the next week to ten days will be a west-to-east crossing.
However, the last time I went to Adelaide was more than ten years ago, so perhaps I shouldn’t fill my imagination with outdated ideas.
我离开喜欢的地方总是依依不舍，这或许是好事，会增加以后我对这地方的想念。但是对前方要有所期盼，这样驾驶过程才能保持一定的兴奋度。
沿途绿色减少，伴随着人迹减少。荒凉的增加，总是伴随着土著人的增加，这很耐人寻味，是他们排斥现代文明，还是现代文明在不断地侵蚀他们原有的平衡？
离开流连忘返的地方也有一个好处，这使得我的关注点重新回到哲学思考上面。前几天写了一篇短文，说宗教信仰不是一种理性推导的结果，而是一种主观选择。这似乎是变相地在批评基督徒不讲理性。其实除了理性和非理性之外，还有一个更大的中间区域是值得探讨的，也是分析心理学家着重用力的地方。
荣格甚至认为潜意识才真正反映了一个人的宗教信仰的原始动力。我读过很多他的著作，这不是原话，但是他的意思就是说潜意识恰恰是解开信仰谜团的一把钥匙。
他甚至还说一个人只有在做梦的时候才是最真实的，这当然不是说清醒的时候就故意作假，而是指人在做梦的时候潜意识比较活跃，不受清醒时意识的压抑。所以我想或许从潜意识的角度，可以部分地缓解基督徒被认为排斥理性而产生的不适。这也可以解释那天与网友对话时，理性讲不通之后，对方就通过感性的方式来解释说信仰不是一个可以理性说服的问题，严格来说，这是转移话题、偷换概念了。但其实也可以从潜意识的角度解释这种所谓的偷换概念，其实他是被潜意识驱动，无意中用潜意识代替了意识。
I always find it hard to leave a place I love, which may actually be a good thing—it makes me miss it more in the future. But I also need to have something to look forward to ahead; that way, the driving process retains a certain level of excitement.
Along the way, greenery decreases, accompanied by fewer signs of human presence. The increase in desolation is always accompanied by an increase in the presence of Indigenous people—a curious phenomenon. Is it that they reject modern civilization, or is modern civilization constantly eroding their original balance?
Leaving a place I’m reluctant to part with has one advantage: it brings my focus back to philosophical thinking. A few days ago, I wrote a short piece saying that religious belief is not the result of rational deduction but a subjective choice. This seems to indirectly criticize Christians for being irrational. In fact, apart from rationality and irrationality, there is a much larger middle ground worth exploring, which is also where analytical psychologists focus their efforts.
Jung even believed that the unconscious truly reflects the original driving force of a person’s religious belief. I’ve read many of his works—this is not a direct quote, but his meaning is that the unconscious is precisely a key to unlocking the mystery of faith.
He even said that a person is most authentic when dreaming—not that people consciously fake themselves when awake, but that in dreams the unconscious is more active, less suppressed by waking consciousness. So I think perhaps from the perspective of the unconscious, one can partially ease the discomfort caused by the perception that Christians reject rationality. This can also explain why, in that conversation with a netizen the other day, when reason failed, the other person shifted to an emotional explanation, saying that faith is not something that can be justified by reason. Strictly speaking, this was a change of subject and a shifting of concepts. But it can also be explained from the unconscious perspective—he was driven by the unconscious, unintentionally substituting it for conscious thought.
基督徒与非基督徒之间的误解非常多，我刚才想了一下，基督徒对非基督徒常见的误解有下面这些：
- 非基督徒没有道德基准
- 非基督徒认为人是无所不能的
- 非基督徒的爱心是功利性的，有条件的
- 非基督徒没有超越世俗的智慧，或者说非基督徒的智慧仅限于世俗世界的技巧
- 非基督徒都是无神论者
另一方面非基督徒对基督徒也有很多的错误认识，比如：
- 爱敌人就是没有道德标准
- 圣经充满了对杀戮的描写，所以基督徒的爱很虚伪
- 否定科学和理性
- 基督徒的生活方式无法融入现代社会，只能生活在一个封闭的小圈子里
我如果有时间的话，会写一系列文章，逐一讨论上面这些问题。
There are many misunderstandings between Christians and non-Christians. I just thought about it, and at least the following come to mind:
Non-Christians have no moral standards. Non-Christians believe that humans are omnipotent. The love of non-Christians is utilitarian and conditional. Non-Christians lack wisdom that transcends the secular world, or in other words, their wisdom is limited to skills within the secular world. All non-Christians are atheists.
On the other hand, non-Christians also have many misconceptions about Christians, such as:
Loving one’s enemies means having no moral standards. The Bible is full of descriptions of killing, so Christian love is hypocritical. Christians reject science and reason. The Christian lifestyle cannot integrate into modern society and can only exist within a closed small circle.
If I have time, I will write a series of articles to discuss these issues one by one.
刚离开Albany向东北方向开一百多公里，都是非常漂亮的田野。后来逐渐进入了荒凉的地带。靠近Esperance，又重新进入绿色的环境中。
下午顺利到了Esperance，我直接把车开到图书馆，感觉这里不错。
然后来到海边
In this situation, a camera would be more suitable than a phone. You can adjust the depth of field and focus on those three people.
