苛责他人,便无暇爱人。
If you judge people, you have no time to love them.
— Mother Teresa
【English explanation】
Judgment is a mental activity that categorizes and critiques others, consuming our attention and energy. Love, by contrast, requires presence, empathy, and openness. When we spend our hours weighing people’s flaws or measuring them against our standards, we close the door to compassion. Mother Teresa reminds us that love and judgment are mutually exclusive — the heart cannot hold both at once. True love demands we set aside our evaluations and simply be with another person in their humanity.
【中文解读】
评判是一种消耗心力的活动,它将注意力聚焦在他人的缺陷与不足上。而爱需要的是包容、理解与共情。当我们把时间花在论断他人时,便没有余力去关爱与接纳。特蕾莎修女在此揭示了一个深刻的道理:评判与相爱无法并存。一颗充满指责的心,无法感受爱的温度。唯有放下成见,以柔软之心待人,才能真正去爱。
