　Causes Are People

　by Susan Parker Cobbs

　IT HAS NOT been easy for me to meet this assignment. In the first place, I am not a very articulate person, and then one has so many beliefs, changing and fragmented and transitory beliefs---besides the ones most central to our lives. I he tried hard to pull out and put into words my most central beliefs. I hope that what I say won?t sound either too simple or too pious.

　I know that it is my deep and fixed conviction that man has within him the force of good and the power to translate force into life. For me, this means that a pattern of life that makes personal relationships more important. A pattern that makes more beautiful and attractive the personal virtues: courage, humility, selflessness and love. I used to smile at my mother because the tears came so readily to her eyes when she heard or read of some incident that called out these virtues. I don?t smile any more because I find I he become more and more responsive in the same inconvenient way to the same kind of story.

　And so I believe that I both can and must work to achieve the good that is in me. The words of Socrates keep coming back to me: ?The unexamined life is not worth living.? By examination we can discover what is our good and we can realize that knowledge of good means its achievement. I know that such self-examination has never been easy---Plato maintained that it was soul?s central search. It seems to me peculiarly difficult now. In a period of such rapid material expansion and such wide spread conflicts, black and white he become gray and will not easily separate.

　There is a belief which follows this. If I he the potential of the good life within me and compulsion to express it, then it is a power and compulsion common to all men. What I must he for myself to conduct my search, all men must he: freedom of choice, faith in the power and the beneficent qualities of truth. What frightens me most today is the denial of these rights, because this can only come from the denial of what seems to me the essential nature of man. For if my conviction holds, man is more important than anything he has created and our great task is to bring back again into a subordinate position the monstrous superstructures of our society.

　I hope this way of reducing our problems to the human equation is not simple an evasion of them. I don?t believe it is. For most of us it is the area in which we can work : the human area---with ourselves, with the people we touch, and through these two by vicarious understanding, with mankind. I believe this is the safest starting point. I watch young people these days wrestling with our mighty problems. They are much more concerned with them and involved in them than my generation of students ever was. They are deeply aware of the words ?quality? and ?justice? In their great desire to right wrong they are prone to forget that causes are people, that nothing matters more than people. They need to add to their crusades the warmer and more affecting virtues of compassion and love. And here again come those personal virtues that bring tears to the eyes.

　One further word, I believe that the power of good within us is real and comes there from a source outside and beyond ourselves. Otherwise, I could not put my trust so firmly in it.

　Keep the Innocent Eye

　By Sir Hugh Casson

　When I Accepted the invitation to join in "This I Believe," it was not-goodness knows-because I felt I had anything profound to contribute. I regarded it-selfishly, perhaps-as a chance to get my own ideas straight. I started, because it seemed simplest that way, with my own profession. The signposts I try to follow as an architect are these: to keep the innocent eye with which we are all born, and therefore always to be astonished; to respect the scholar but not the style snob; to like what I like without humbug, but also to train my eye and mind so that I can say why I like it; to use my head but not to be frightened to listen to my heart (for there are some things which can be learned only through emotion); finally, to develop to the best of my ability the best that lies within me.

　But what, you may say, about the really big problems of life- Religion? Politics? World Affairs? Well, to be honest, these great problems do not weigh heily upon my mind. I he always cared more for the small simplicities of life-family affection, loyalty of friends, joy in creative work.

　Religion? Well, when challenged I describe myself as "Church of England," and as a child I went regularly to church. But today, though I respect churchgoing as an act of piety and enjoy its sidelines, so to speak, the music and the architecture, it holds no significance for me. Perhaps, I don't know, it is the atmosphere of death in which religion is so steeped that has discouraged me-the greyards, the parsonical voice, the thin damp smell of stone. Even today a "holy" face conjures up not saintliness but moroseness. So, most of what I learned of Christian morality I think I really learned indirectly at home and from friends.

　World Affairs? I wonder if some of you remember a famous prewar cartoon. It depicted a crocodile emerging from a peace conference and announcing to a huge flock of sheep (labeled "People of the World"), "I am so sorry we he failed. We he been unable to restrain your warlike ambitions." Frankly, I feel at home with those sheep-mild, benevolent, rather rehensive creatures, acting together by instinct and of course very, very woolly. But I he learned too, I think, that there is still no force, not even Christianity, so strong as patriotism; that the instinctive wisdom with which we all act in moments of crisis-that queer code of conduct which is understood by all but never formulated-is a better guide than any panel of professors; and finally that it is the inferiority complex, usually the result of an unhy or unlucky home, which is at the bottom of nearly all our troubles. Is the solution, then, no more than to see that every child has a hy home? I'm not sure that it isn't. Children are nearer truth than we are. They he the innocent eye.

　If you think that such a philosophy of life is superficial or tiresomely homespun or irresponsible, I will remind you in reply that the title of this series is "This I Believe?-not "This I ought to believe," nor even "This I would like to believe?-but, "This I Believe."

　Dreams Are the Stuff Life Is Made Of

　By Carroll Carroll

　I believe I am a very lucky man.

　My entire life has been lived in the healthy area between too little and too much. I?ve never experienced financial or emotional insecurity, but everything I he, I?ve attained by my own work, not through indulgence, inheritance, or privilege.

　Never hing lived by the abuses of any extreme, I?ve always felt that a workman is worthy of his hire, a merchant entitled to his profit, an artist to his reward.

　As a result of all this, my bargaining bump may be a little underdeveloped, so I?ve never tried to oversell myself. And though I may work for less than I know I can get, I find that because of this, I?m never so afraid of losing a job that I?m forced to compromise with my principles.

　Naturally in a life as mentally, physically, emotionally, and financially fortunate as mine has been, a great many people he helped me. A few meant to, most did so by accident. I still feel I must reciprocate. This doesn?t mean that I?ve dedicated my life to my fellow man. I?m not the type. But I do feel I should help those I?m qualified to help, just as I?ve been helped by others.

　What I?m saying now is, I feel, part of that pattern. I think everyone should, for his own sake, try to reduce to six hundred words the beliefs by which he lives?it?s not easy?and then compare those beliefs with what he enjoys?not in real estate and money and goods, but in love, health, hiness, and laughter.

　I don?t believe we live our lives and then receive our reward or punishment in some afterlife. The life and the reward?the life and the punishment?these to me are one. This is my religion, coupled with a firm belief that there is a Supreme Being who planned this world and runs it so that ?no man is an island, entire of himself The dishonesty of any one man subverts all honesty. The lack of ethics anywhere adulterates the whole world?s ethical content. In these?honesty and ethics?are, I think, the true spiritual values.

　I believe the hope for a thoroughly honest and ethical society should never be laughed at. The most idealistic dreams he repeatedly forecast the future. Most of the things we think of today as hard, practical, and even indispensable were once merely dreams.

　So I like to hope that the world need not be a dog-eat-dog jungle. I don?t think I?m my brother?s keeper. But I do think I?m obligated to be his helper. And that he has the same obligation to me.

　In the last analysis, the entire pattern of my life and belief can be found in the words ?do NOT do unto others that which you would NOT he others do unto you.? To say ?Do unto others as you would he others DO unto you? somehow implies bargaining, an offer of for for for. But to restrain from acts which you, yourself, would abhor is an exercise in will power that must raise the level of human relationship.

　?What is unpleasant to thyself,? says Hillel, ?THAT do NOT unto thy neighbor. This is the whole law,? and he concluded, ?All else is exposition.?

恳求你赐给他谦卑的心，使他永远记得，真正的伟大是单纯，真正的智慧是坦率，真正的力量是温和。下面是我为大家带来英语经典美文：塑造我的儿子，希望大家喜欢!

　Build me a son, O Lord, who will be strong enough to know when he is weak, and bre enough to face himself when he is afraid; one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat, and humble and gentle in victory.

Then, I, his father, will dare to whisper he not lived in vain."

　在他，有了这些美德之后，我还要祈求你赐给他足够的幽默感，以免他过于严肃，还苛求自己。恳求你赐给他谦卑的心，使他永远记得，真正的伟大是单纯，真正的智慧是坦率，真正的力量是温和。如此，我这作父亲的，才敢低声说:"我没有虚度此生。 "

She had been shopping with her Mom in Wal-Mart. She must he been 6 years old, this beautiful brown haired, freckle-faced image of innocence. It was pouring outside. The kind of rain that gushes over the top of rain gutters, so much in a hurry to hit the Earth it has no time to flow down the spout. We all stood there under the awning and just inside the door of the Wal-Mart. We waited, some patiently, others 4)irritated because nature messed up their hurried day. I am always mesmerized by rainfall. I get lost in the sound and sight of the heens washing away the dirt and dust of the world. Memories of running, splashing so carefree as a child come pouring in as a welcome reprieve from the worries of my day. Her voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance we were all caught in. "Mom, let's run through the rain," she said. "What?" Mom asked. "Let's run through the rain!" She repeated. "No, honey. We'll wait until it slows down a bit," Mom replied. This young child waited about another minute and repeated: "Mom, let's run through the rain." "We'll get soaked if we do," Mom said. "No, we won't, Mom. That's not what you said this morning," the young girl said as she tugged at her Mom's arm." "This morning? When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?" "Don't you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said, 'If God can get us through this, he can get us through anything!" The entire crowd stopped dead silent. I swear you couldn't hear anything but the rain. We all stood silently. No one came or left in the next few minutes. Mom paused and thought for a moment about what she would say. Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being silly. Some might even ignore what was said. But this was a moment of affirmation in a young child's life. Time when innocent trust can be nurtured so that it will bloom into faith. "Honey, you are absolutely right. Let's run through the rain. If get wet, well maybe we just needed washing," Mom said. Then off they ran. We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they darted past the cars and. They held their shopping bags over their heads just in case. They got soaked. But they were followed by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the way to their cars. And yes, I did. I ran. I got wet. I needed washing. Circumstances or people can take away your material possessions, they can take away your money, and they can take away your health. But no one can ever take away your precious memories. So, don't forget to make time and take the opportunities to make memories every day! To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heen. I hope you still take the time to run through the rain. Run Through the Rain 雨中的记忆 她和妈妈刚在沃尔玛购完物。这个天真的小女孩应该6岁大了，头发是美丽的棕色，脸上有雀斑。外面下着倾盆大雨。雨水溢满了檐槽，来不及排走，就迫不及待地涌向了大地。 我们都站在沃尔玛门口的遮篷下。大家在等待，有的人很耐心，也有人烦躁，因为老天在给他们本已忙碌的一天添乱。雨天总引起我的遐思。我出神地听着、看着老天洗刷冲走这世界的污垢和尘埃，孩时无忧无虑地在雨中奔跑玩水的记忆汹涌而至，暂时缓解了我这一天的焦虑。 小女孩甜美的声音打破了这令人昏昏欲睡的气氛，“妈妈，我们在雨里跑吧，”她说。 “什么？”母亲问。 “我们在雨里跑吧，”她重复。 “不，亲爱的，我们等雨小一点再走，”母亲回答说。 过了一会小女孩又说：“妈妈，我们跑出去吧。” “这样的话我们会湿透的，”母亲说。 “不会的，妈妈。你今天早上不是这样说的。”小女孩一边说一边拉着母亲的手。 “今天早上？我什么时候说过我们淋雨不会湿啊？” “你不记得了吗？你和爸爸谈他的癌症时，你不是说‘如果上帝让我们闯过这一关，那我们就没有什么过不去了。’” 人群一片寂静。我发誓，除了雨声，你什么都听不到。我们都静静地站着。接下来的几分钟没有一个人走动。母亲停了一下，在想着应该说些什么。 有人也许会对此一笑了之，或者责备这孩子的不懂事，有人甚至不把她的话放在心上。但这却是一个小孩子一生中需要被肯定的时候。若受到鼓舞，此时孩子单纯的信任就会发展成为坚定的信念。“亲爱的，你说得对，我们跑过去吧。如果淋湿了，那也许是因为我们的确需要冲洗一下了，”母亲说。然后她们就冲出去了。 我们站在那里，笑着看她们飞快地跑过停着的汽车。他们把购物袋高举过头想挡挡雨，但还是湿透了。好几个人像孩子般尖叫着，大笑着，也跟着冲了出去，奔向自己的车子。当然，我也这样做了，跑了出去，淋湿了。我也需要接受洗礼。环境或其他人可以夺去你的物质财富，抢走你的金钱，带走你的健康，但没有人可以带走你珍贵的回忆。因此，记得要抓紧时间，抓住机会每天都给自己留下一些回忆吧！ 世间万物皆有自己的季节，做任何事情也有一个恰当的时机。希望你有机会在雨中狂奔一回。
