所以最后Junior的老爸有没有给他爹钱?
洛克菲勒的童年正好是第二次伟大觉醒的尾声,他所生活的地方也正属于burnt-over district,人们的宗教热情非常强烈。洛克菲勒一家属于Baptist Church,对他们来说,宗教信仰的重要性并不在于死后上天堂或下地狱,而是道德人格的提升。他的母亲Eliza鼓励她的孩子每星期上教堂都要捐至少是几分钱,播下了他后来慈善事业的种子。洛克菲勒从小就表现出了对金钱的热爱,诚实地,尽可能多的挣钱是对他来说是宗教责任,但是上帝让他挣钱并不是让他来挥霍的,而是要他用这笔财富来造福整个社会。Baptist的宗教信仰造成了洛克菲勒后来的矛盾性格,他在商场上可以说是冷酷无情,失败的竞争对手把他描绘成邪恶的化身,但是另一方面,他又把他大部分的财富捐献出来,尤其是在医学的教育研究方面,可以说是造福了整个人类。
Saddled with the burden of managing half a billion dollars, Junior had little time left for diversion. An unexceptional man thrust into exceptional circumstances, he accepted his fate with reluctance. As Frederick Gates said, “He would have preferred … to cut loose from his father’s fortune and make for himself like other men a wholly independent career. But he was an only son, the heir of colossal wealth, dedicated from his birth to overwhelming burdens, not to be evaded.” The constant pressure of the Rockefeller philanthropies was a responsibility from which he could never escape, and he continued to be plagued by stress symptoms, including migraine headaches, stomach ailments, and sinus infections. Very often, he came home from work with dreadful headaches and had to lie down in his bedroom for an hour, his brow covered by a soothing compress. As his father had feared, the weight of the Rockefeller fortune often seemed to overwhelm him.
私下里他被称为Dracula
