KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Spirituality does two things for you. One, you are forced to become more selfless, two, you trust to providence. The opposite of a spiritual man is a materialist. If I was a materialist I would be making lots of money doing endorsements, doing cricket commentary. I have no interest in that.
灵性为你做了两件事。第一，你被迫变得更加无私;第二，你相信上帝。精神上的人的对立面是唯物主义者。如果我是个唯物主义者，我会通过做代言、做板球评论赚很多钱。我对此不感兴趣。
The superior man is the providence of the inferior. He is eyes for the blind, strength for the weak, and a shield for the defenseless. He stands erect by bending above the fallen. He rises by lifting others.
强者是弱者的天意。他是瞎子的眼睛，是软弱人的力量，是无防备人的盾牌。他弯下身子，俯视着倒下的人，笔直地站着。他通过举起别人而站起来。
