這對很多人來說是一個非常難懂的原則，但我非常相信這個原則，有一次我在一個吸毒者和酗酒者的群體中，牆上的牌子上寫著這個群體中沒有正當的怨恨。

What I said to that group that night Waas No matter what anybody says to you here, no matter what kind of, uh, anger comes directed towards you, No matter how much hate you may encounter showing up in your life there are no justified resentments meaning that if you carry around resentment inside of you about anything or about anyone and I'm talking about the person that you lent money to and hasn't paid you back, I'm talking about the person in your life that you feel was abusive in your life.

那晚我對那群人說的是 無論任何人對你說什麼，無論什麼樣的，呃，憤怒是針對你的，無論你的生活中會遇到多少仇恨，都沒有合理的怨恨，這意味著如果你對任何事情或任何人都懷有怨恨，我說的是你借錢給你卻沒有還你的人，我說的是你生活中的人，你覺得他在你的生活中虐待你。

I'm talking about the person who walked out on you and left you for somebody else.

Have a mind that is open toe everything and attached to nothing.

要有一種對一切都坦然的心態，對一切都不執著。

Having an open mind doesn't necessarily mean finding fault with all of the things that you've been taught by others.

有一個開放的心態，並不一定意味著對別人教給你的所有東西都要找茬。

It means opening yourself up to the potentiality and the possibility that anything and everything is possible.

這意味著打開自己的潛力和可能性，任何事情和一切都有可能。

So having a mind that is open to everything and attached to nothing really means finding within ourselves the ability to get rid of a trait that I find so common in the contemporary world.

所以，擁有一個對一切都敞開、對任何事物都不執著的心態，其實就是在我們自己的內心深處，找到擺脫當代世界我覺得很普遍的一個特質的能力。

其實，如果你明天繼續追蹤，你會發現大概有啊100個理由，你可以到處去得罪人。

But a mind that is open to everything and attached to nothing is a mind that says, I'm never looking for anything to be offended by on that whatever anybody else out there has to say, My response to that is that's an interesting point of view.

但是，一個對一切都敞開的心態，對什麼都不執著的心態，是說，我從來不會在這上面找什麼得罪人的東西，不管外面的人說什麼，我的迴應是，這是一個有趣的觀點。

I've never considered that before.

我從來沒有考慮過這個問題。
