關心他人 林鈺堂 簡繁轉換 - 繁體

關心他人
才是自身得救的開始

老是深陷關於自己的想法內
路有盡頭 心愈來愈窄 愈沉重

看見他人 關心他人
心眼開了 心地寬了

別人的遭遇 近乎自己的
同情心便生起
驅使我們伸出熱心的援手

自己的處境 別人也類似
便少了怨天尤人 或自怨自艾

若要此生少閉塞 多活趣
先從關心他人做起

Caring about Others

Caring about Others


Caring about Others Yutang Lin

Caring about others
Only then is the beginning of one's own salvation

Always deeply engulfed in thoughts about oneself
Road is blind, mind is ever narrower and heavier

Having others in sight, caring about others
Mind's eye opened, mind's space widened

Others' situations and circumstances, similar to one's own
Empathy rises
Driving us to extend an ardent heart through a helping hand

One's own situations and circumstances, similar to others'
Thus reduced one's complaints and indulgence in grievances

If you would like this life to be less confined and more zestful
Start with caring about others
