每日一讲，第1109讲、凡事不要妄下定论《Don't make hasty conclusions about everything》

人会在环境中寻求自己优越的一面，进而提升自信。然而真正难堪的时候，就是在自以为高人一等，却硬生生瞧见自己卑劣一面的时候。

佛家说，万物皆菩萨。万事万物都有生存的价值，这个价值不由某个族群决定，不由某个个人决定，而是依循着自然的道理各得其所，各守其位，激荡出每一个生命尽力所淬炼出来的共同价值。

凡事不要妄下定论，观察再观察，体会再体会，从每个角度去思考，从每个立场去考量，或许才能真正做出中肯又不带偏见的批评吧。

从修心的角度来看，辱骂自己的人，值得感恩，因为这样才有机会修持，对赞与贬一视同仁。与我们有过各种不愉快纠缠的人，值得感恩，因为这让我们有机会修持忍辱。让你情感受挫或求而不得的人，值得感恩，因为这能让你看到万事万物的本质。在一味求好中很难进步，善用逆境却能稳固慈悲，开展无尽的智慧。Time is the fairest distributor in the world. It treats the rich and the poor alike, and the wise and the foolish alike, partial to none. As the saying goes, “it’s hard to buy a measure of time with a measure of gold.” Learn to pursue your own happiness; give yourself a break and at the same time give others a break. Do not let your life go to waste on calculating the trade-offs of gain and loss, thus spending your years in vain. Life is so precious; don't hold your personal gains and losses so close to your heart, let alone obsess over them endlessly. When we hem and haw over gain and loss indecisively, as long as we still have the capacity to choose, then we should decide based on the primary principle of whether our soul can find peace. As long as we can make a wise choice about gain and loss, then our lives will not be overwhelmed by the ruthlessness of the world.
