人类生活在复杂的社会和文明中，总会不可避免地感到困惑。然而，我相信：人类自身才是解决全世界和群体问题的根本，无论是否公开承认，每个人的内心深处都藏着一个精神家园。揭开覆盖在它表层的东西，它永远在那里，没有人能够将其隐藏。我相信上帝和有序的宇宙，这是我所有信条中的第一个。 <span word="As">As</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span

生命是有限的，我相信，人类应该为自己追求幸福，同时也为他人带去幸福，这才是人类真正要追求的最基本的生活目标。回顾自己丰富的生活阅历，我明白了，真正的幸福似乎是自私和以自我为中心。但是，那些牟取私利、满足个人物质需要的人永远不会拥有真正的幸福。只有当幸福与无私、体谅他人联系在一起时，这种幸福才会是有深度、真正令人满意的幸福。幸福的本质是奉献，这种奉献带来了我们所有人所追求的真正幸福。曾经有人说过这样的话：幸福是我们为在地球上占据的空间而支付的租金。

自私自利是世界上最令人憎恶的恶行，它是一切幸福的对立面。世界的每一个角落似乎都存在着这种恶行，国家之间对于权利的贪婪追求，人与人之间为了物质财富而进行的斗争。 <span word="Each">Each</span> <span word="one">one</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="us">us</span> <span

我的信条是：同胞之间、群体之间应该快乐地相处。我反对我国早期曾盛行的宣扬残酷的地狱之火及战火这样的谬论，这让人类对来世的信仰产生了巨大恐惧。为什么连教堂里靠背椅的椅背都像件瘦小的外套，令人很不舒服!快乐地面对生活不但使自己感到高兴，还能温暖他人，减轻他人的生活负担。 <span word="Now">Now</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span
