不忘初心，放得始终

不忘初心，放得始终 

The very beginning mind itself is the most accomplished mind of true self

花时间写这些文字，不是因为无事可做，也不是单纯为了分享知识。

Written down these words, is not to kill time, or simply to share knowledge.

人的生命由时间构成，每一个阅读者都相当于把自己生命的一部分交托了出来。如果写作仅仅为了取悦自己，那么对阅读者来说是很大的亏欠。如果不能让阅读的人受益，那么也不过是浪费资源。如果说出来的话虽然有“知识”、有“道理”、有“逻辑”，但目的是为了挑动仇恨和纷争，那就连浪费都不如。

It's time that made up of people's life. Every reader devoted a piece of his/her life. If the words are just for the writer's own enjoyment, then the writer is in the deficit of his/her reader. If the words can not benefit the readers, then it's just plainly wasteful. If the words are 'knowlagable', 'reasonable', 'logical', yet with an intention to provoke hate and argument, then it's even worse than wasteful.

大多时候，挑动愤怒，发泄不满，严词谴责是容易的。谈爱、善良和宽容是不合时宜甚至是奢侈的。

Most of the time, it's easier to provoke, to resent, to condemn; talking about love, kindness and forgiveness is unpopular and wasteful.

但我希望做这件不合时宜却奢侈的事。

But I want to do this unpopular and wasteful thing.

如果说这些文字有一条主线的话，那么这条主线就是，我想给你看到一个有爱、有信心、有盼望地活着的可能性。

If there is a guideline between my words, then the guidline is that I want to show you the possibility of living with love, confidence, hope.

这不是说你现在就要选这条路，你认同不认同都没关系。但希望你存在心里，在未来的人生旅途中，在穷尽所有的可能性之后记得还有另一条路，然后做出自己的选择。

It does not mean you need to decide now. It does not matter you agree with me or not. But I hope you keep in mind that, after you explored all other possibilities, there is another one in your life, then make your own desicion.
