Human beings are social animals

who depend for their survival on

others’ cooperation and assistance. So

it is better not to have companion

at all than to have one who is very

aggressive and harmful. You can never

rely on such a person but always have to

be suspicious and apprehensive about

him or her. And conversely, if your own

character and personality is such that

all people avoid you, that is very sad.

Therefore, a kind heart and compassion

are the real sources of peace and

happiness.

人類是社會動物,

人的生存倚賴著其他人的合作與協助.

所以與其有一個好鬥有害的同伴

不如沒有任何同伴.

這樣的人不但無法倚靠,

還會讓你對他(她)有所猜疑, 戒慎恐懼.

換個角度看, 如果你的人格與個性

會讓別人閃躲, 也是悲哀的.

所以, 親切的心和慈悲關懷,

是平靜與快樂的真正來源.
