10-9

You have been on a long, uphill journey, and your energy is almost spent. Though you have faltered at times, you have not let go of my hand. I am pleased with your desire to stay close to me. There is one thing, however, that displeases me: your tendency to complain. You may talk to me as much as you like about the difficulty of the path we are following. I understand better than anyone else the stresses and strains that have afflicted you. You can ventilate safely to me because talking with me tempers your thoughts and helps you see things from my perspective.

Complaining to others is another matter altogether. It opens the door to deadly sins such as self-pity and rage. Whenever you are tempted to grumble, come to me and talk it out. As you open up to me, I will put my thoughts in your mind and my song in your heart.

 

你已經走過了一段漫長而艱難的旅程，你的能量幾乎耗盡。盡管你有時會猶豫不決，但你從未放開過我的手。我對你緊貼著我而不放的願望感到高興。然而，有一件事讓我不悅：你有經常發牢騷的傾向。你可以盡情地與我談論我們所走路徑的艱難。我比任何人都更了解你所受到的壓力和困擾。你可以安全地向我發泄，因為與我交談可以調整你的思維，幫助你從我的角度看待事物。

 

然而，向其他人抱怨則是完全不同的一回事。這打開了通往致命罪惡，如自憐和憤怒之門。每當你感到想發牢騷時，來找我，與我談一談。當你向我敞開心扉時，我會將我的思想放入你的心靈，將我的歌曲放入你的心中。
