Angel and Mermaid

“在有仇恨的地方，让我带来爱；在有错误的地方，让我带来饶恕的精神；在有不和谐之处，让我带来谐和；在有谬误的地方，让我带来真理；在有疑惑的地方，让我带来信念；在有绝望的地方，让我带来希望；在有阴影的地方，我让带来阳光；在有悲伤的地方，让我带来欢乐。

    宁愿让我安慰别人，而不是被别人安慰；让我理解别人，而不是被人理解；让我爱别人而不是被人爱。因为忘记自我，才能有所发现；因为饶恕别人，才能被人饶恕；因为通过死亡，才能获得永生。”

（英文原文）

    Where there is hatred, I may bring love; that where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness; that, where there is discord, I may bring harmony; that, where there is error, I may bring truth; that, where there is doubt, I may bring faith; that, where there is despair, I may bring hope; that, where there are shadows, I may bring light; that, where there is sadness, I may bring joy.

    I may seek rather to comfort than to be comforted, to understand than to be understood; to love than to be loved; for it is by forgetting self that one finds; it is forgiving that one is forgiven; it is by dying that one awakens to eternal life.
