弗兰克的银行

一个叫弗兰克的人经过多年的积蓄开办了一家小银行。一次,他的银行遭到抢劫,他就此破产,他的储户也失去了存款。而当他带领妻子和四个儿女打算从头开始的,决定偿还那笔天文数字般的存款的时候,人们劝他:“你为什么要这么做呢,这件事你是没有责任的。”可是他却回答:“是的,在法律上也许没有责任,但在道义上我有责任,应该还钱。”偿还存款的代价是39年的艰辛的生活,在寄出最后一笔债务时,他说:“现在我终于无债一身轻了!”他用自己一生的心血与汗水去履行他心中的责任,而给世界留下一笔真正的财富,在他一生艰难的履迹上洒满世人崇敬与褒奖的目光。

如果弗兰克决定不偿还储户的存款,会有什么后果?社会生活中,每个人的责任意识有什么意义?

答案

如果弗兰克决定不偿还储户的存款,他虽然在法律上不用承担任何责任,但在道义上,他的决定会使人失去对他的尊敬和赞赏。当然,也会造成储户不可挽回的经济损失。

无论在私人生活还是在公共生活中,负责人的人都能赢得人们的信任、尊敬和赞赏。良好的人际关系,和谐的社会氛围,都需要人们夫妻自己的责任。不负责任,就会受到人们的鄙视和谴责,失去别人的信任和尊敬、就难以在社会中立足。正如故事中,尽管承担责任要付出代价,但这种付出所换来的,是整个社会的良性运转和健康发展。
