如你所是的部落格

God said:
天父說：

It is definitely not a good idea to spend your life feeling sorry for yourself. By the same token, it is not a good idea to spend your life pitying anyone either. Feeling pity isn't good for you to send out any more than pity is good for you to receive. Feeling pity isn't an achievement. It's more like a dismissal.
將生命浪費在自憐自艾上絕對不是一個好主意。同樣，同情別人也於事無益。憐憫別人並不比被人同情要好多少。富有同情心不是一種成就。它更像是敗下陣來。

Of course, naturally, this isn't to say you are to be hardhearted. Being firm is not the same as being severe. You do not always have to be the good cop. There is plenty of merit in the world for directness. Do not mistake directness for unkindness. You are not meant to be a sob sister in life.
當然，不用說，這並不是說你要鐵石心腸。堅定不是嚴厲。你不必總扮演白臉的角色。在這個世界上直接有很大價值。不要把直率視為不好的。你不是一個生活的傷感故事作家。

Beloveds, what you see as someone's lot in life may well not be the way the person sees his own life. You know, be careful about making any kind of pronouncements about your life or another's. What you say may ring a bell of finality. Do not settle someone's life, nor settle for the world's distinctions of your life as if what the world says is your template to go by. Don't take a blotch on the surface of your life or anyone's life as the summation of the Life Itself.
親愛的，你眼中別人的可悲命運未必是被同情者本人的看法。要知道，無論是關乎你還是別人的生活，做任何聲明都要小心。你說的可能會喚起最後的結局。不要安排別人的生活，也不要勉強接受世人對你生活的爭議，就好像世人所說就是你必經的模式。不要將你或任何人表面的污點作為生命本身的總結。

Outer appearances are not a model to go by. This is why it is said, when someone appears at your door, be gracious, for the seeming beggar could be a Sainted Being. Have you not dismissed people in your heart because of their outer appearance? Opportunity isn't something you want to miss.
外表不是你的判斷可依據的模型。這就是為什麼說，當某人出現在你的門口時，要仁慈的對待他，表面上的乞丐事實上可能是一個德高望重的人。難道你不曾因為某人的外表而在你的心中否決他嗎？你不該錯過機會。

On the other hand, We can take the opposite of what I just said. For instance, a con artist does not appear as a con artist. Part of his being a con artist is to fool you. Of course, it is always you who fools yourself, you understand.
另一方面，與我剛才所說恰好相反。例如，一個行騙老手看上去不像是個騙子。他作為騙子的那部分是在欺騙你。當然，其實是你一直在愚弄自己，你懂的。

Dreams do come true. However, every dream that steps up to you may not be your dream come true. And, of course, when you are not looking for it, your True Dream may appear. There is no certainty one way or the other. Life is not about certainty.
夢想定會成真。然而，每一個走向你的，可能不是你的夢想，卻成真了。當然，當你不尋求它的時候，你真正的夢想可能會實現。並沒有確定的方式方法。生活不是必然的。

Enjoy whoever knocks at your door. Be gracious and courteous. Whatever qualities you may disdain, you don't have to go by them.
享受任何人來敲你的門。要優雅有禮。無論你如何不屑於某種素質，你都不必依此評判。

Life is simpler than you see it. If life gets complicated, is it you who may be complicating it. Who is misled, and who is misleading?
生活比你看到的更簡單。如果生活變得複雜，是不是你將它複雜化了？誰被誤導了，誰在誤導你？

It is not My Desire that you wear a costume. Make Yes mean Yes. And No mean No. Do not be crafty. Do not outsmart yourself. Do not lead someone on, and don't lead yourself on. Be honest. There is no gain in pretense to anyone, not gain to you nor to another.
你帶著面具，這不是我的願望。是就是。不是就不是。不要狡詐。不要自己弄巧成拙。不要誤導別人，也不要誤導自己。要誠實。在任何人面前偽裝自己都不會有收穫，無論是你還是那個人。

When you walk on rough terrain, step firmly. Don't dance around on rough terrain as if you were a ballerina, nor are you to be excessively tentative. You are looking for balance.
當你走在崎嶇的地帶，腳步要踏得堅實。不要在粗糙的地面像芭蕾舞演員那樣舞蹈，也不要過度嘗試。你在尋找平衡。

Love is Infinite, yet you don't have to give away your Truth for an illusion of Love. Pretense isn't your goal. Fake is fake whatever colors it is under. Allow your heart to love all. You can also love – shall We say – impersonally. Love does not have to be an investment. Love does not require a payback, and you don't have to have a return. You also don't have to ask of yourself anything when you don't feel the Truth of it.
愛是無限的，但你不必為了虛幻的愛而放棄你的真理。偽裝不是你的目的。假的就是假的，不管它如何色彩光鮮。允許你的心去愛所有的人。你也可以，讓我們說，客觀的去愛。愛不必是一種投資。愛不需要回報，你不必有回報。當你感覺不到真實性時，你也不必對自己有任何要求。

Your love can be discreet. You don't have to blather your love for all comers. You don't have to act as if you love when this is not the Truth of Your Heart. Be true to yourselves, beloveds.
你的愛可以是審慎的。你不必對所有人都喋喋不休的訴說你的愛。當愛不是發自你的真心時，你不必表現得有愛。做真實的自己，親愛的。

I encourage you to have an open heart to all, and, yet, enough can be enough. Remind yourself that love is not a commodity in the marketplace. Love is not a barter. Love is not an expense you must pay.
我鼓勵你對所有的一切都敞開你的心，然而，夠了有時就是夠了。提醒自己，愛不是市場上的商品。愛不是物物交換。愛不是一種你必須付出的代價。

Love is free, yet love doesn't have to be all over the place. Value your love. Love and respect yourself, and you will love and respect others.
愛是自由的，但愛不必遍佈各地。珍惜你的愛。愛並尊重你自己，那麼你會愛和尊重別人。

Anyway, there are no others. You and others are One and the Same.
無論如何，沒有其他人。你和其他人是相同的，是一。
