A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
善良
Kindness
善意既体现在言语里,也体现在愿意理解与帮助他人的行动中。这些语句围绕体谅、分享和尊重展开。

It may take practice to think more positively and more compassionately, but just as you must train a puppy to behave the way you want it to, you must train your mind to behave itself. Otherwise, like the puppy, your mind will just make a lot of messes.

耶稣听见,就对他们说,康健的人用不着医生,有病的人才用得着。你们去学习那话是什么意思。我要的是怜悯,不是祭祀。我来本不是召义人,乃是召罪人悔改。
When kindness has left people, even for a few moments, we become afraid of them as if their reason had left them. When it has left a place where we have always found it, it is like shipwreck; we drop from security into something malevolent and bottomless.
当善良离开了人们,哪怕只有一小会儿,我们也会害怕他们,好像他们的理智已经离开了他们。当它离开了一个我们总是能找到它的地方,它就像沉船;我们从安全堕落到邪恶和无底的东西。
