SEVEN REPRIMANDS
By Kahlil Gibran
I reprimanded my soul seven times !
The first time:
when I attempted to exalt myself by exploiting the weak.
The second time:
when I feigned a limp before those who were crippled.
The third time:
when, given a choice, I elected the easy rather than the difficult.
The fourth time:
when I made a mistake I consoled myself with the mistakes of others.
The fifth time:
when I was docile because of fear and then claimed to be strong in patience.
The sixth time:
when I held my garments upraised to avoid the mud of Life.
The seventh time:
when I stood in hymnal to God and considered the singing a virtue.
我的心曾悲傷七次
——卡里·紀(jì)伯倫（Kahlil Gibran）
第一次，當(dāng)它本可進(jìn)取時(shí)，卻故作謙卑；
第二次，當(dāng)它在空虛時(shí)，用愛欲來填充；
第三次，在困難和容易之間，它選擇了容易；
第四次，它犯了錯，卻借由別人也會犯錯來寬慰自己；
第五次，它自由軟弱，卻把它認(rèn)為是生命的堅(jiān)韌；
第六次，當(dāng)它鄙夷一張丑惡的嘴臉時(shí)，卻不知那正是自己面具中的一副；
第七次，它側(cè)身于生活的污泥中，雖不甘心，卻又畏首畏尾。
