生活是罪惡嗎?

八月三日

 

生活是罪惡的嗎?

 

生活就本身而言並非罪惡‧

但在生活中的妄想和盲目的執著卻是罪惡和危險的。

無知是最糟糕的情況‧

從慾望和渴求中解脫出來並非罪惡，因為這並非讓我們逃避世界，

而是從物質世俗世界中獲得自由的關鍵‧

Is Life Evil?

 

Life as such is not an evil. But the evil consists in the delusion and blind attachments in which life is involved, and the danger to while life leads man, viz., getting into worse states through ignorance than he is at any one time. Life free from desires or passions of all kinds is not evil. It is not escape from the world, but

freedom from worldliness that is necessary.
