The spirits of all three shall strive within me.

這三個人的精神都將在我裡面奮鬥。

I will not shut out the lessons that they teach.

我不會將它們所教的課程拒之門外。

What does it mean to live in the past, the present and the future.

生活在過去、現在和未來意味著什麼。

What lessons do they teach?

他們教了什麼課？

And how are these lessons?

那麼這些課程是如何進行的呢？

Shut out?

被拒之門外？

That's what I'm interested in exploring.

這就是我有興趣探索的問題。

And I'm going to explore this idea through a dialog.

而我要通過一個對話來探討這個想法。

The following is a conversation between a monk and a student monk.

以下是一位僧人和一位學生僧人之間的對話。

A wise person lives in the past, the present and the future all at once.

一個明智的人同時生活在過去、現在和未來。

Student wait, that doesn't make any sense.

學生等等，這沒有任何意義。

How can I live anywhere but the present?

除了現在，我怎麼能在任何地方生活？

You're taking my words too literally what I mean is that the wise person understands the effects of time on their actions and by doing so they make time their friend not their enemy.

你把我的話看得太重了，我的意思是，明智的人瞭解時間對他們行動的影響，通過這樣做，他們使時間成為他們的朋友而不是敵人。

What do you mean?

你是什麼意思？

They understand the effects of time on their actions and how do they make time there friend?

他們瞭解時間對他們行動的影響，他們如何使時間成為他們的朋友？

What does that mean?

那是什麼意思？

Time closes the gap between the way things are and the way they should be.

時間拉近了事物的現狀和它們應該有的樣子之間的差距。

Time reaps every seed you.

時間收割你的每一顆種子。

So if you water trees all day eventually you'll have a lot of fruit.

是以，如果你整天給樹木澆水，最終你會有很多水果。

In this case you've made time your friend.

在這種情況下，你讓時間成為你的朋友。

If you chop trees down all day eventually you'll starve yourself of oxygen.

如果你整天砍樹，最終你會讓自己缺氧。

And so in this case you've made time your enemy, a wise person understands the effects of time on their actions and so befriends time.

所以在這種情況下，你把時間當成了你的敵人，聰明的人明白時間對他們行動的影響，所以與時間結成了朋友。

Okay, so how do I understand the effects of time on my actions?

好吧，那麼我如何理解時間對我行動的影響？

Understanding the effects of time on your actions actually occurs naturally.

瞭解時間對你的行動的影響實際上是自然發生的。

We call that process learning.

我們把這個過程稱為學習。

So the question isn't how do you learn?

所以問題不在於你如何學習？

But rather what's stopping you from learning?

而是什麼阻止了你的學習？

If the process is natural, you must have constructed some barriers against it.

如果這個過程是自然的，你一定構建了一些障礙來阻止它。

Well what is stopping me from learning?

那麼是什麼阻止了我的學習呢？

There are two barriers to learning, but the best way to understand them is to first understand the two conditions necessary for learning to take place, sincerity and contradiction.

學習有兩個障礙，但瞭解它們的最好方法是首先了解學習發生的兩個必要條件，即真誠和矛盾。

Can you explain them both?

你能解釋一下這兩個問題嗎？

For me?

對我來說？

Yeah.

是的。

The first condition necessary for learning is sincerity, sincerity is when you do what you genuinely want to do and why is that necessary for learning?

學習的第一個必要條件是真誠，真誠是指你做你真正想做的事，為什麼說這是學習的必要條件？

In order for your understanding of the world to improve?

為了讓你對世界的理解得到改善？

You have to test your own knowledge.

你必須測試你自己的知識。

And the only time you're actually testing your own knowledge is when you act sincerely.

而唯一的一次，你實際上是在測試你自己的知識，就是當你真誠地採取行動時。

For example think about these two scenarios in the first scenario, you really want to go to the mall but you've never been there before.

例如，想想這兩種情況，在第一種情況下，你真的想去商場，但你以前從未去過那裡。

So you try and find your way there using your own knowledge of the city.

是以，你試圖利用自己對城市的瞭解，找到自己的路。

Now in the second scenario, your friend jumps in your car and says let's go to the mall.

現在，在第二種情況下，你的朋友跳上你的車，說我們去商場。

You've never been there before and you don't really want to go, but you agree.

你以前從未去過那裡，而且你並不真的想去，但你同意了。

So they start giving you directions.

所以他們開始給你指路。

In this case you're acting on their knowledge, in which scenario do you think?

在這種情況下，你是根據他們的知識行事，你認為是哪種情況？

You'll learn better.

你會學得更好。

The first for sure.

第一個是肯定的。

The one where I sincerely want to go to the mall and act on my own knowledge exactly in the first scenario, because you actually want to learn how to get to the mall, you put your own knowledge to the test and because you're testing your own knowledge, you're more mindful of the right and wrong turns that you take.

我真誠地想去商場，並根據自己的知識採取行動，正是在第一種情況下，因為你實際上想學習如何去商場，你把你自己的知識進行了測試，因為你在測試你自己的知識，你會更注意你所走的正確和錯誤的道路。

But in the second scenario, you don't really care about learning the direction.

但在第二種情況下，你並不真正關心學習方向的問題。

Instead, you rely on the knowledge of your friend and because you're relying on someone else's knowledge, you're not testing your own knowledge and because you're not testing your own knowledge, you won't really learn anything.

相反，你依賴你的朋友的知識，由於你依賴別人的知識，你沒有檢驗你自己的知識，由於你沒有檢驗你自己的知識，你不會真正學到任何東西。

So your understanding of the world improves through testing your own knowledge.

所以你對世界的理解是通過檢驗你自己的知識來提高的。

And the only time we test our own knowledge is when we act sincerely.

而我們檢驗自己的知識的唯一時間是我們真誠地採取行動的時候。

Okay, that makes sense.

好吧，這很合理。

Can you explain the second condition for me?

你能為我解釋一下第二個條件嗎？

The second condition necessary for learning is contradiction.

學習的第二個必要條件是矛盾。

Contradiction is information that falsifies your understanding or in other words, it's proof that you're wrong.

矛盾是否定你的理解的資訊，或者換句話說，是證明你是錯誤的。

Remember when you act sincerely, you're putting your own knowledge to the test.

請記住，當你真誠地採取行動時，你是在對自己的知識進行測試。

You're trying to go somewhere.

你想去的地方。

Contradiction is information that tells you that you failed to test, you didn't arrive where you were trying to go and by resolving the contradiction.

矛盾是告訴你的資訊，你沒能測試，你沒有到達你想去的地方，通過解決矛盾。

You learn.

你要學習。

That's what learning is the resolution of contradiction.

這就是學習是解決矛盾的方法。

Okay, let me explain that all back to you to make sure I understand when you act sincerely you do what you genuinely want to do.

好吧，讓我把這一切解釋給你聽，以確保我明白當你真誠地行事時，你做的是你真正想做的事。

When you do what you genuinely want to do, you put your own knowledge to the test.

當你做你真正想做的事情時，你就會把你自己的知識放在測試中。

When you put your own knowledge to the test, you may come across a contradiction.

當你把自己的知識進行測試時，你可能會遇到一個矛盾。

This means you failed the test or in other words, something is wrong with your understanding.

這意味著你沒有通過測試，或者換句話說，你的理解出了問題。

And by resolving this contradiction you learn.

而通過解決這個矛盾，你就能學到。

Is that all correct?

這些都是正確的嗎？

That's correct.

這是正確的。

So now that we know the two conditions necessary for learning, we can understand the two barriers to learning insincerity and ignorance.

是以，現在我們知道了學習的兩個必要條件，我們可以理解學習的兩個障礙不真誠和無知。

Insincerity is obviously when you don't do what you genuinely want to do, that means you never actually test your own knowledge, but rather you live your life based on other people's knowledge.

不真誠顯然是指你不做你真正想做的事，那意味著你從不真正檢驗自己的知識，而是根據別人的知識來生活。

Ignorance is when you ignore any contradictions to your understanding of the world.

無知是指你無視任何與你對世界的理解相矛盾的地方。

That means you never see anything wrong with your own understanding.

這意味著你從不認為自己的理解有什麼問題。

So if you're insincere ignorant or both, you won't learn.

是以，如果你不真誠無知或兩者都有，你就不會學習。

But why would someone choose to be insincere or ignorant and cut themselves off from the learning process?

但為什麼有人會選擇不真誠或無知，把自己從學習過程中切斷？

Well, underlying all actions or beliefs, if you want to understand why someone acts a certain way, you need to understand the belief that underlies that action?

那麼，在所有行動或信仰的基礎上，如果你想了解某人為什麼會有某種行為，你需要了解支撐這種行為的信仰？

What's the belief that underlies insincerity insincerity stems from beliefs of inferiority.

什麼是支撐不真誠的信念不真誠源於自卑的信念。

On some level you must believe it's more important to satisfy someone else's desires at the expense of your own, which means you value someone else's desires over your own?

在某種程度上，你一定認為以犧牲自己的慾望為代價來滿足別人的慾望更重要，這意味著你重視別人的慾望而不是自己的慾望？

I never thought about it like that?

我從來沒有想過這樣的問題？

Well, what's the belief that underlies ignorance?

那麼，支撐無知的信念是什麼？

Ignorance stems from beliefs of superiority, on some level, you must believe it's more important for someone to satisfy your desires at the expense of their own.

無知源於優越感的信念，在某種程度上，你必須相信有人以犧牲自己的慾望為代價來滿足你的慾望更為重要。

Which means you value your own desires over there's wait.

這意味著你重視你自己的慾望，而不是他們的等待。

But aren't those two things contradictory?

但這兩件事不是互相矛盾的嗎？

How can I feel inferior and superior at the same time?

我怎麼能同時感到自卑和優越呢？

No, actually, they're very complementary.

不，實際上，它們是非常互補的。

They almost go hand in hand see there's a fundamental belief underlying feeling inferior or superior and it's a belief in the way of power.

它們幾乎是齊頭並進的，可以看到有一種基本的信念支撐著自卑或優越感，這是一種對權力方式的信念。

What's the way of power?

什麼是權力的方式？

It's a philosophy of life?

這是一種生活哲學？

People who believe in the way of power believe that some people are more superior or more valuable than others.

相信權力之道的人認為，有些人比其他人更優越或更有價值。

They don't believe conflicting desires can be resolved.

他們不相信衝突的慾望可以得到解決。

They approach every interaction thinking who's the winner and who's the loser?

他們在對待每一次互動時，都會思考誰是贏家，誰是輸家？

They don't believe there is a way for both parties to win.

他們不相信有一種兩黨都能獲勝的方法。

Or at the very least they don't see the value in that.

或者至少他們沒有看到這其中的價值。

So they're always thinking, am I the master here or the slave?

所以他們總是在想，我是這裡的主人還是奴隸？

And because they believe in the way of power, they believe that some people must sacrifice their desires for others when they're in the presence of people, who they feel their desires are more important than they feel superior?

因為他們相信權力之道，所以他們認為有些人必須為別人犧牲自己的慾望，當他們在人們面前時，他們覺得自己的慾望比他們覺得的更重要？

But when they're in the presence of people who they feel their desires are less important than they feel inferior?

但當他們在那些他們覺得自己的慾望不如人的人面前，他們會感到自卑嗎？

Both feelings are possible and they stem from a belief in the way of power.

這兩種感覺都是可能的，它們源於對權力之道的信仰。

Okay.

好的。

But what about people who believe that both parties can win?

但是，那些相信兩黨都能獲勝的人呢？

What about people who believe that conflicting desires can be resolved and that there is a solution that can satisfy everyone.

那些相信衝突的慾望可以被解決，並且有一個可以滿足所有人的解決方案的人呢？

What you're describing is the way of love.

你所描述的是愛的方式。

The way of love approaches every interaction.

愛的方式接近每一個互動。

Looking for the mutual satisfaction of desires.

尋找慾望的相互滿足。

It wants everyone to win.

它希望每個人都能獲勝。

It doesn't wish for there to be any submission or domination.

它不希望有任何服從或支配。

Masters or slaves.

主人或奴隸。

Mm Is one better than the other.

嗯 一個比另一個好嗎。

I'll say this the person of Power spends much of their time acting insincerely or ignorantly and because of this they don't learn the person of love, on the other hand, spends much of their time acting sincerely and paying attention to contradiction.

我要說的是，掌權的人花了很多時間表現得不真誠或無知，正因為如此，他們沒有學習，另一方面，愛的人花了很多時間表現得真誠並注意矛盾。

And even more than that they're interested in the resolution of all contradictions because of this.

而更多的是，他們對所有矛盾的解決感興趣，因為這。

Their entire life is spent in the act of learning.

他們的整個生命都在學習中度過。

The person of love learns to understand the effect of time on their actions and so they become the friend of time.

有愛的人學會了理解時間對他們行動的影響，是以他們成為時間的朋友。

The person of Power on the other hand doesn't learn the effect of time on their actions.

另一方面，有能力的人並不瞭解時間對其行動的影響。

And so time becomes their enemy.

是以，時間成為他們的敵人。

And on top of that people of Power tend to attract each other because they're both following the same path.

除此之外，有能力的人往往會相互吸引，因為他們都在遵循同樣的道路。

So they spend their lives in this game of cat and mouse trying to get one over on each other dominating and submitting their desires to one another.

是以，他們在這種貓捉老鼠的遊戲中度過了一生，試圖戰勝對方，支配和服從對方的慾望。

And people of love also tend to attract each other because they too are following the same path.

而有愛的人也往往會互相吸引，因為他們也在走同樣的路。

They spend their lives like the man in the tree, watering and nurturing one another.

他們的生活就像樹上的人一樣，互相澆灌，互相培育。

Finding ways to mutually satisfy each other's desires.

找到相互滿足對方慾望的方法。

It's up to you to decide who do you want to be in a christmas, carol Charles Dickens wrote, I will live in the past, the present and the future.

這取決於你決定你想成為誰，在聖誕頌歌中，查爾斯-狄更斯寫道：我將生活在過去、現在和未來。

The spirits of all three shall strive within me.

這三個人的精神都將在我裡面奮鬥。

I will not shut out the lessons that they teach.

我不會將它們所教的課程拒之門外。

And I explored this idea more deeply through a dialogue.

而我通過對話更深入地探討了這個想法。

I was interested in what it means to live in the past, present and the future and here's where I've arrived.

我對生活在過去、現在和未來的意義很感興趣，這裡就是我到達的地方。

There are two ways through life, the way of power and the way of love.

人生有兩條路，權力的路和愛的路。

The person who follows the way of love remains open to learning, understands the effects of time on their actions and makes time their friend, the person who follows the way of power on the other hand, closes themselves off from learning, doesn't understand the effects of time on their actions and makes time their enemy as always.

遵循愛的方式的人對學習保持開放的態度，理解時間對他們行動的影響，並將時間作為他們的朋友。另一方面，遵循權力的方式的人將自己封閉在學習之外，不理解時間對他們行動的影響，並一如既往地將時間作為敵人。

This is just my opinion and understanding of Dickens words, not advice, feel free to use this information however you like.

這只是我對狄更斯的話的看法和理解，不是建議，請隨意使用這些資訊。

And if you have a different take on his words, I'd love to hear perspective in the commons and if you're looking for a gift to give the ambitious learner in your life, I recommend checking out this week's sponsor.
