A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
善
Goodness
Treat those who are good with goodness, and also treat those who are not good with goodness. Thus goodness is attained. Be honest to those who are honest, and be also honest to those who are not honest. Thus honesty is attained.
善者，吾善之﹔不善者，吾亦善之﹔德善。信者，吾信之﹔不信者，吾亦信之﹔德信。
Each person has inside a basic decency and goodness. If he listens to it and acts on it, he is giving a great deal of what it is the world needs most. It is not complicated but it takes courage. It takes courage for a person to listen to his own goodness and act on it.
每个人内心都有一种基本的正派和善良。如果他倾听它，并付诸行动，他就是在给予这个世界最需要的东西。这并不复杂，但需要勇气。一个人需要勇气去倾听自己的善良并付诸行动。
More and more these days what I find myself doing in my stories is making a representation of goodness and a representation of evil and then having those two run at each other full-speed, like a couple of PeeWee football players, to see what happens. Who stays standing? Whose helmet goes flying off?
这些天来，我发现自己越来越多地在我的故事中表现善良和邪恶，然后让这两者全速奔跑，就像两个皮威足球运动员，看看会发生什么。谁呆站?谁的头盔掉下来了?
