子曰：“道之以政，齐之以刑，民免而无耻；道之以德，齐之以礼，有耻且格。”

The Master said, "If the people be led by laws, and uniformity sought to be given them by punishments, they will try to avoid the punishment, but have no sense of shame. If they be led by virtue, and uniformity sought to be given them by the rules of propriety, they will have the sense of shame, and moreover will become good."— Trans.

你是如何面对诱惑的？

英文原文

▍今日一句

The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself, with desire for what its monstrous laws have made monstrous and unlawful.
—The Picture of Dorian Gray, Poet, Oscar Wilde

摆脱诱惑的唯一方法就是屈服于诱惑。若抵制它，你的灵魂就会渴望自己被禁止的东西，就会渴求那些被可怕的法律弄得可怕和非法的东西，那样你的灵魂就生病了。
——《道林格雷的画像》，诗人，奥斯卡·王尔德

▍今日一学

get rid of 摆脱，去除
long for = desire for 渴望，渴求

▍今日一悟

人生在世，诱惑无处不在。被欲念刺激着的我们，很难做到“清心寡欲”。压抑欲望固然不是什么上佳选择，放纵欲望恐怕也同样危险，两个极端都会让我们丧失灵魂。你在生活中面对诱惑是如何抉择的呢？

The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself, with desire for what its monstrous laws have made monstrous and unlawful.
