78 CREATING A BETTER ENVIRONMENT

【创造更好的环境】

深入观察一个人，我们会发现，一个个体由比我们通常所见更多的元素而构成。这些元素包括这个人的父母、祖先、教育、社会和文化。如果我们没有看到所有的这些元素，我们就没有完全地看见那个人。如果有人倾向于以消极的方式行事，这并不意味着他们喜欢那样做，而是他们可能只是传承的受害者。这些消极的种子可能是经由他们的父母、他们的文化、或他们的社会传递给他们的。意识到这一点，我们就不会对他们进行评判。相反，我们会感受到启发，去改变环境、教育和文化，以便下一代不会成为同样的传承的受害者。

[CREATING A BETTER ENVIRONMENT]

Looking deeply at a human being, we see that an individual is made of many more elements than what we normally see. These include the person’s parents, ancestors, education, society, and culture. If we don’t see all these elements, we haven’t fully seen that person. If someone has the tendency to behave in a negative manner, it doesn’t mean that they like behaving that way, but that they may be the victim of transmission. These negative seeds may have been transmitted to them by their parents, their culture, or their society. Realizing this, we don’t judge them. Instead we feel inspired to change the environment, education, and culture so that the next generation will not be a victim of the same transmission.
