爱, Love

爱

爱是你我必须有的东西
我们必须有爱，因为我们的灵魂需要爱的滋养
我们必须有爱，因为没有爱我们会变得软弱和暗淡无光
没有爱，我们的自信心会变弱
没有爱，我们的勇气会丧失
没有爱，我们不再会充满信心地面对世界
我们会转向自我，侵蚀我们的人格，慢慢地自我毁灭
有了爱，我们会创造
有了爱，我们会不知疲倦地向前进
有了爱，仅仅只要爱
我们会为他人牺牲自己

Love

Love is something you and I must have.

We must have it because our spirit feeds upon it.

We must have it because without it we become weak and faint.

Without love our self-esteem weakens.

Without it our courage fails.

Without love we can no longer look confidently at the world.

We turn inward and begin to feed upon our own personalities,

and little by little we destroy it ourselves.

With it we are creative.

With it we march tirelessly.

With it, and with it alone,

we are able to sacrifice for others.

-Chief Dan George
