A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
奢侈品
Luxury
There is just as much evil in all of us as there is good. We're all continuously guilty, even if we're not doing it intentionally to be evil. Here we are sitting in luxury hotels, living it up on the the backs of others in the third world. We all have a guilty conscience, but we do very little about it.
我们每个人都有好的一面,也有坏的一面。我们都在不断地犯罪,即使我们不是故意做坏事。我们现在住在豪华酒店里,靠着第三世界其他国家的人过着奢侈的生活。我们都有罪恶感,但我们对此却无能为力。
