The Things That Will Destroy Us

Guidance for Reciting

I do have great admiration for Ghandhi,however I do not agree with his last statement. I do not believe there is a need to“worship”anything or anyone. And sacrifice isn't always beneficial to one's soul. There are times when sacrifice is necessary and times when it is not.

The things that will destroy us are:

Politics without principle;

Pleasure without conscience;

Wealth without work;

Knowledge without character;

Business without morality;

Science without humanity,

and Worship without sacrifice.

Notes

1.principle [5prinsEpl] n. 原则,原理,主义,信念

2.morality [mR5rAlEti] n. 道德,美德

毁灭人类的七件事

诵读导言

我非常钦佩甘地,然而我并不赞同他最后的一点。因为我认为没有必要崇拜任何人或任何事,并且牺牲并不总是有益于人的灵魂,有时候要看牺牲是否有必要。

毁灭人类的七件事:

没有原则的政治;

没有良知的快乐;

没有劳动的富裕;

没有是非的知识;

没有道德的商业;

没有人性的科学;

没有牺牲的崇拜。
