A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
同情
Compassion
I believe in human dignity as the source of national purpose, human liberty as the source of national action, the human heart as the source of national compassion, and in the human mind as the source of our invention and our ideas
我相信人的尊严是国家目标的源泉，人的自由是国家行动的源泉，人的心灵是国家同情的源泉，人的思想是我们发明和思想的源泉
It is in deep solitude that I find the gentleness with which I can truly love my brothers. The more solitary I am the more affection I have for them…. Solitude and silence teach me to love my brothers for what they are, not for what they say.
只有在深深的孤独中，我才能找到真正爱我的兄弟们的温柔。我越孤独，就越爱他们……孤独和沉默教会我爱我的兄弟，因为他们是谁，而不是他们说什么。
I look at the Samurai because they were the artists of their time. What I think struck me when I read Bushido is compassion. 'If there's no one there to help, go out and find someone to help.' That hit me, because I try to lead my life like that.
我之所以关注武士，是因为他们是那个时代的艺术家。当我读武士道时，我所想到的打动我的是同情心。如果没有人帮忙，那就出去找人帮忙。“这让我很震惊，因为我想过这样的生活。
I work really hard at trying to see the big picture and not getting stuck in ego. I believe we're all put on this planet for a purpose, and we all have a different purpose... When you connect with that love and that compassion, that's when everything unfolds.
我非常努力地工作，试图看到大局，而不是陷入自我。我相信我们来到这个星球上都是有目的的，我们都有不同的目的……当你与那种爱和同情联系在一起时，一切都展现出来了。
I cannot believe that the purpose of life is to be "happy." I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to be compassionate. It is, above all, to matter and to count, to stand for something, to have made some difference that you lived at all.
我不敢相信生活的目的就是“快乐”。我认为人生的目的是要做一个有用的人，要有责任感，要有同情心。最重要的是，重要的是要有意义，要有价值，要有意义，要让你的生活有所不同。
Any ordinary favor we do for someone or any compassionate reaching out may seem to be going nowhere at first, but may be planting a seed we can't see right now. Sometimes we need to just do the best we can and then trust in an unfolding we can't design or ordain.
我们为别人做的任何普通的帮助，或任何富有同情心的伸出援手，一开始似乎都不会有什么结果，但可能正在播下一颗我们现在看不到的种子。有时候，我们需要做的只是尽我们所能，然后相信一个我们无法设计或注定的展开。
The moment we choose to love we begin to move against domination, against oppression. The moment we choose to love we begin to move towards freedom, to act in ways that liberate ourselves and others. That action is the testimony of love as the practice of freedom.
从我们选择爱的那一刻起，我们就开始反抗统治，反抗压迫。从我们选择爱的那一刻起，我们就开始走向自由，以解放自己和他人的方式行动。这种行为是爱作为自由实践的证明。
Compassion literally means to feel with, to suffer with. Everyone is capable of compassion, and yet everyone tends to avoid it because it's uncomfortable. And the avoidance produces psychic numbing -- resistance to experiencing our pain for the world and other beings.
同情的字面意思是感受，忍受。每个人都有同情的能力，但每个人都倾向于避免同情，因为它让人不舒服。这种逃避产生了精神上的麻木——抗拒为世界和其他生命体验我们的痛苦。
When you begin to touch your heart or let your heart be touched, you begin to discover that it's bottomless, that it doesn't have any resolution, that this heart is huge, vast, and limitless. You begin to discover how much warmth and gentleness is there, as well as how much space.
当你开始触摸你的心或者让你的心被触摸，你开始发现它是无底的，没有任何决心，这颗心是巨大的，广阔的，无限的。你开始发现有多少温暖和温柔，以及有多少空间。
A good motivation is what is needed: compassion without dogmatism, without complicated philosophy; just understanding that others are human brothers and sisters and respecting their human rights and dignities. That we humans can help each other is one of our unique human capacities.
我们需要的是一个好的动机:没有教条主义的同情，没有复杂的哲学;只要理解他人是人类的兄弟姐妹，尊重他们的人权和尊严。我们人类能够互相帮助是我们人类特有的能力之一。
Everything is material for the seed of happiness, if you look into it with inquisitiveness and curiosity. The future is completely open, and we are writing it moment to moment. There always is the potential to create an environment of blame -- or one that is conducive to loving-kindness.
如果你带着好奇和好奇去看待幸福的种子，那么一切都是物质的。未来是完全开放的，我们每时每刻都在书写它。总有可能创造一种互相指责的环境——或者一种有利于友爱的环境。
I'm interested in learning that's motivated by reverence for life, that's motivated by a desire to learn skills, to learn new things that help us to better contribute to our own well-being and the well-being of others. And what fills me with great sadness is any learning that I see motivated by coercion.
我对学习感兴趣是出于对生命的尊重，是出于学习技能的渴望，是为了学习新事物，帮助我们更好地为自己和他人的幸福做出贡献。让我感到非常悲伤的是，我看到的任何学习都是由强迫驱使的。
