Love

by Czeslaw Milosz

Love means to look at yourself

The way one looks at distant things

For you are only one thing among many.

And whoever sees that way heals his heart,

Without knowing it, from various ills--

A bird and a tree say to him: Friend.

 

Then he wants to use himself and things

So that they stand in the glow of ripeness.

It doesn't matter whether he knows what he serves:

Who serves best doesn't always understand.

 

看事情

要有一段距離

如此才能看到全貌

而不是以偏蓋全

每一個人都有煩惱與恐懼，

每一個人都有希望與慾望，

每一個人都有自己的故事;

把注意力從自己的身上移開

你會發現這個世界上並不是只有你一個人

離開唯我獨尊的小世界

才有可能在大世界裡找到快樂

Rainer Maria Rilke說

Love is at first not anything that means merging, giving over,

and uniting with another...

it is a high inducement to the individual to ripen,

to become something in himself,

to become world,

to become world for himself and another's sake.

我最崇拜的老爸是這樣的熟男

(an adorable ripe, old man!)

總是在關心別人、關心這個世界的大小事

總是在想自己能為人做什麼

為社會做什麼

為了大我活出精采的小我...

~I would like to dedicate these words to my dad on Father's Day

he is the most selfless person I know

someone who has dedicated his life to serving his family, friends, and country

he has taught me that love makes the world go round

without love, there is nothing--

in the end,

there is only love...
