The true meaning of responsibili

The true meaning of responsibility

There are four aspects to responsibility.

When all four are present in your life,

you can truly say that

you are being responsible.

First, you must be able to respondto whatever is arising in the moment.

You must become responsive.

You must be able to respond spontaneously.

It is your true nature but it has beenconditioned out of you.

It you are hungry, eat.

If you are thirsty, drink.

If you feel ecstatic, dance or sing.

Celebrate.

If you see someone that you like, say hello.

Take a dog for a walk.

A dog will teach you about responsiveness.

责任的真正含义

责任有四个方面。

当所有四个方面都齐聚在你的生命中，

你就可以真正地说

你是负责任的。

首先，你必须能够对此刻浮现的任何东西做出反应。

你必须成为实时响应的。

你必须能够自发地反应。

这是你的本性，

但已经习惯于被你抛在脑后。

如果饿了，就吃。

如果渴了，就喝。

如果感觉狂喜，舞蹈或歌唱。

去庆祝。

看到你喜欢的人，就说“你好”。

带只狗去散步吧！

狗会教你如何积极回应。

The second thing is to take full responsibility for your reactions.

You are constantly reacting emotionallyto people and events in your life.

You feel hurt or angry or misunderstood.

You feel unloved or sad.

And it is always someone else’s fault.

Someone else is to blame.

They are somehow responsible

for your reactions.

You do not realize that your reactionsare almost entirely due to your conditioning and your past experiences.

Your experiences as a child unconsciouslydetermine and define your experience of others and life now.

You project the past onto the present moment.

Nobody is responsible for your emotional reactions.

Nobody is to blame.

But, of course, if that is true,

then you are released from responsibility for the reactions of others.

第二件事就是完全地为你的反应负责。

你连续不断地对生活中的人和事做出情绪化的反应。

你感到受伤、愤怒或被误解。

你感到不被爱或悲伤。

而且永远都是别人的错。

都怪别人。

他们应该以某种方式为你的反应负责。

你没有意识到你的反应几乎完全是

由于你过去的经验及条件反射造成的。

当你还是孩子时的经验无意识地决定与界定了现在你对其他人与生活的经验。

你将过去投射到当下时刻。

没人应为你的情绪反应负责。

没人要怪。

但是，当然，如果是这样，

那么你也将从这责任中释放出来，不再为别人的反应负责。

The third aspect is to take responsibility for getting what you want, which means that

you will have to know what you want.

Very few people really know what they want!

Wanting is immediate and real,

arising out of the moment, and not the mind.

If what you want arises out of the mind,

then it is a desire aimed at fulfilling something missing from the past which you imagine will fulfill you in the future.

Once you know what you want,

then it is your responsibility to get it.

If it involves other people,

ask for what you want and be willing to compromise.

If it does not involve others,

then just do it.

What is stopping you?

Ordinarily we live with  expectations,

which we don’t express and when those expectations are not met,

we become resentful,

which we hide until it festers into anger,

and then hatred.

Expectation places responsibility onto others.

Nobody is here to fulfill your expectations.

Nor are you here to fulfill the expectations of others.

第三个方面是负起责任来，获得自己想要的，

那意味着你必须知道你想要的是什么。

很少有人真正地知道他们想要的！

想要是直接的而且真实的，

从当下升起，而非从头脑中升起。

如果你想要的东西来自于头脑，

那么它只是一个欲望，旨在满足过去的缺失，

你想象它将在未来满足你。

一旦你知晓自己想要的是什么，

你有责任去获得它。

如果涉及到其他人，

请求得到你想要的，

并乐于妥协。

如果不涉及其他人，

那就去做吧。

是什么阻止了你？

通常我们带着期望生活，但并不表达，

当期望没有达成，我们就变得怨恨，

我们影藏着直到它加剧成愤怒，然后仇恨。

期望将责任置于其他人身上。

没有在这是来满足你的期望的。

同样，你在这也不是来满足其他人的期望的。

The final thing is that you are responsible for your own awakening.

Nobody else can do it for you.

It is up to you to do whatever you have to do in order to awaken.

To awaken is your ultimate responsibility.

In truth, it is your only responsibility.

And once you awaken, it becomes your responsibility to remain awake,

which involves remembering to be here now.

And not lost in the mind.

It is a responsibility that has

to be remembered moment to moment.

最后一件事是为你自己的觉醒负责。

没有其他人可以帮你做。

为了觉醒，你要做的任何事都取决于你。

觉醒是你最终的责任。

事实上，它是你唯一的责任。

一旦你觉醒，保持觉醒就成了你的责任，

那包括记得活在此时此地。

并且，不迷失在思维中。

每时每刻回到当下是一种责任。
