Sin and Failure of Truth, Love, Justice

For the sins of our failures of truth

For pretending to emotions we do not feel;

for using the sins of others to excuse our own;

for denying our responsibility for our own misfortunes;

for refusing to admit our share in the troubles of others;

for condemning in our children the faults we tolerate in ourselves;

for condemning in our parents the faults we tolerate in ourselves;

for passing judgement without knowledge of the facts;

for remembering the price of things but forgetting their value;

for teaching our children everything but the meaning of life;

for loving our egos better than the truth.

我們在真理上的失敗與犯的罪 假裝我們沒有感受到罪惡

• 用別人的罪來為自己的罪開脫；
• 否認我們對自己不幸的責任； 
• 拒絕承認我們對別人困難的責任； 
• 譴責孩子犯了我們自己容忍的錯誤； 
• 譴責父母犯了我們自己容忍的錯誤； 
• 在不了解事實的情況下做出判斷； 
• 記住事物的價格卻忘記它們的價值； 
• 教導我們的孩子一切卻不教他們生命的意義； 
• 愛自己(的自我與自尊)勝過愛真理。

For the sins of our failures of love

For using people as stepping stones to advancement;

for confusing love and lust;

for withholding love to control those we claim to love;

for hiding from others behind an armor of mistrust;

for treating with arrogance people weaker than ourselves;

for condescending towards those whom we regard as inferiors;

for shunting aside those whose age is an embarrassment to us;

for giving ourselves the fleeting pleasure of inflicting lasting hurts;

for cynicism which eats away our faith in the possibility of love.

我們在愛上的失敗與犯的罪

• 把人當作晉升的墊腳石； 
• 混淆愛與慾望； 
• 以愛之名來控制與PUA； 
• 躲在不信任的盔甲後面； 
• 對比我們弱的人傲慢； 
• 對我們認為低於我們的人表現出居高臨下； 
• 把那些年齡讓我們尷尬的人推到一邊； 
• 為了給自己帶來短暫的快樂而造成持久的傷害； 
• 玩世不恭侵蝕我們對愛的可能性的信仰的。
