蠢人的評斷

   髒的鏡子反射出髒的形象‧乾淨的鏡子就會看到乾淨的樣子‧

人若用字自己骯髒的評斷心緒去下評斷時，便會犯下嚴重的大錯‧如果他們看見一個有品德的人和一個女人走在街上，他們馬上會強烈的懷疑並到處去傳播‧他們除了製造流言蜚語沒別的事可做，這些可憐的人到處都是‧

有一次有個農人的兒子和他的母親去到了鄰近的地方，路途中休息正喝著水，其他的旅人便懷疑為他們正喝著酒，並認為他們是不道德的人。過後，當他們發現了真實後，便非常的後悔。

因此，當你評斷別人的時候要特別的小心警慎‧

The Folly of Human Judgment

   A dirty mirror produces a dirty image. A clear mirror gives a clear image. People with a dirty mind judge others according to their own standards of judgment and thereby commit serious blunders. If they see even a good moral man passing along the road with a woman, at once they will entertain some strong suspicion and scandalize him then and there. They have no other work besides scandalize-mongering. Pitiable indeed is the lot of such people! Once a son of‧peasant was drinking some cold water with his mother in a lonely place during their journey to a neighboring village. Another traveler suspected that these were immoral people and were drinking liquor. Later on, when he found out the truth, he repented very much. Therefore, be careful in your judgment of others.
