台湾籍旅美老师今天交给我们的句子是:
It's so easy to see someone through your own narrow lens and to like dismiss what they're going through. Or write off their struggles as excuses or complaints. It's a lot harder to try keep in mind the opportunities you were afforded. Just because of where you were born.
你很容易就会只凭自己狭隘的视角所看到的去做评断,然后无视他人曾经历过的种种,或是把他们的那些挣扎视为是借口或抱怨。单纯因为你的出生环境不错,你就更难会把你拥有的那些机会放在心上。
