(1)Confession自 白

很多時候，我們會發現，承認自己的過失不是件容易的事情;可是，我們會想到諸多理由來原諒自己。可是，犯錯的是他人，我們則是反過來的。其實，歸咎罪責已經無計可施，何不退一步，放過他人，也放過自己?

Forgive us that often we forgive ourselves so easily and others so hardly;

Forgive us that we expect perfection

from those to whom we show none;

Forgive us for 2)repelling people by the way

we set a good example;

Forgive us the 3)folly of trying to improve a friend;

Forbid that we should use our little idea of goodness as a spear to wound those who are different;

Forbid that we should feel superior to others

when we are only more 4)shielded;

And may we encourage the secret struggle

of every person.

原諒我們,原諒自己往往如此簡單,

原諒別人卻那么難;

原諒我們,期望他人盡善盡美,

自己卻乏善可陳;

原諒我們,使人反感,

自己卻先當了榜樣;

原諒我們,愚不可及,竟嘗試“調教”朋友;

不要讓我們把那自以為是的善意

變成利劍,傷害那些有別于己的人;

不要讓我們妄自尊大,

只落得個孤傲不群的下場;

每一位默默奮斗的人都值得我們鼓勵。
