光也會轉向，但不是屈服。光選擇保存能量，不去耗損。遇到障礙，無論大小，光會越過或繞過。光不是在背叛，投降和屈服，它沒有放棄自己的信念，也不是認輸，它只是不反抗到底。光採取轉向，繞過，然後繼續前行。
Light even bends, yet it is not said that Light gives in. Light conserves energy. This is Light choosing the opposite of wasting energy. Light steps over or steps around an obstacle, big or little. Light isn"t selling out. Light isn"t caving in. Light isn"t submitting. Light isn"t giving up its ideas. Light isn"t capitulating. Light doesn"t fight to the end. Light bends and moves over and goes forward.
當可以轉向時，頑固的對抗並不明智。親愛的，揮舞著劍與矛去抗衡生命的過程沒有意義。
When it is possible to bend a little, stubborn resistance doesn"t make sense. It doesn"t make sense for My beloveds to fight the Course of Life as with sword and spear.
適當的轉向是OK的。生活中，對於已過去的事，不管那行為如何背道而馳，一旦過去，無論怎樣的暴怒都已於事無補。那竭盡所能的抗爭意義又何在呢？
It"s okay to bend a little. In fact, when it comes to life, and a deed is done, no matter how opposed you may be to an Act of Life, once the deed is done, it cannot be revoked no matter how you storm. What sense does it make to fight with all your might that which has already occurred?
我們在此說的轉向，與"放下過去"異曲同工。要知道，過去的已過去。
The bending We speak of here is the same as letting go of the past. You know — what is done is done.
自尊不要牽涉進來。事實上，只有這樣才會處於不敗。生活不論輸贏，也不在勝敗的一念之間。生活就是生活。
Pride doesn"t enter in. As a matter of fact, this is how you are undefeated. Life is not a matter of winning or losing. Life is not to be thought of as defeat or victory. Life is Life.
這不是說你要向生活妥協，只是不必又踢又叫。還是重新振作，繼續前行吧。
It is not that you are compromising yourself with Life either. You simply let go of kicking and screaming. You pick yourself up, and you keep going.
生活的不遂人願，只是在這件事上沒有順遂你的想法而已。不必為此焦慮不安。
When you don"t get your own way in Life, it means only that, in this instance, you didn"t get your own way or the way you thought was yours. You don"t just keep sitting there trembling.
更不該因此就指責生活，指責我或任何人。
It is not for you to blame Life or Me or anyone.
時常提醒自己，生活不需要順從你的願望。當生活看似忽視了你之所願，不要認為是針對你，或是把你叫到一邊接受這樣或那樣的懲罰。
Remind yourself that Life does not have to kowtow to your desires. When Life seems to overlook what you want, it is not for you to take it personally. You have not been taken aside for a punishment of one kind or another.
無論是指甲斷了還是心碎了，這對你都會有影響，但在漫長而短暫的生命中，無論對與不對，認為任何事都是針對你，這於你毫無益處。
Whether you have a broken fingernail or a broken heart, this makes every difference to you, yet in the long and short of life, there is no profit in your taking anything personally, pro or con.
我對你們的愛，現在和一小時之前沒有分別。我的愛永恆，日復一日。生命有如太陽般光芒四射，它無意要灼傷你，或長久的懲罰你。生活本身不偏不倚。不要認為它出了差錯。傷害你的不是生活，是你自己。
I love you the same now as I did an hour ago. My love is constant. My love is yours day in and day out. Life is like the Sun that shines. Life does not set out to give you sunburn. Life does not set out to perpetuate punishment upon you. Life itself has an impartiality. Do not take Life amiss. Life does not set out to hurt you. It could be you hurt yourself.
當生活和你唱了反調，你就認定生活不公，由此披上苦行衣，你就是這樣打敗自己的。
When Life appears to be opposed to you, and you convict Life of unfairness, you don a hair shirt, and it is you who beats yourself up.
小心對生活，及發生的一切的評判。
Be cautious about judging Life and Life"s occurrences.
保持公正。不要讓生活成為你的替罪羊，你也不要成為生活的犧牲品。
Be impartial. Do not make Life your victim. Do not make yourself Life"s victim either.
如果你從樓梯上跌下來，跌下來的是你。即跌下來了，能讓自己站起來的也只有你。
If you fall down the stairs, you are the one who falls down the stairs. If you fall down the stairs, it is you who picks yourself up.
注意，生活中不要對任何人橫加指責。不管表面上如何，都沒有罪責要承擔。生活有它自行演繹的版本。重新振作自己，進入另一方舞台。而不是將自己打敗後就再不爬起。不要等著醫生來宣佈你是個不幸的受害者，把你喚醒，也不是等著判決說生活侵犯了你，會給予補償。
Look, in Life, there is no one to point your finger at. No crime has been committed no matter how much it may seem so to you. Life played itself out one way and not another. Pick yourself up, and get into another arena. It is not for you to put yourself down for the count and stay there. You are not waiting for a medic to pronounce you a hapless victim and give you resuscitation, nor are you waiting for a judge to say that Life has assaulted you and offer you restitution.

而是整裝向前，迎接下一次的心動。迎上去。你曾放棄的生活，再次去擁抱它。
It is for you to move right along and pick up the next heartbeat of Life. Go meet it. Don"t you ever give up on Life. Embrace Life again and again.
