人要对自己的选择做出承担


Some things are subject to the free will of man, such as justice, equity, tyranny, and injustice, as well as all the good and evil actions; it is evident and clear that these actions are, for the most part, left to the will of man. But there are certain things to which man is forced and compelled: such as sleep, death, sickness, decline of power, injuries, and misfortunes; these are not subject to the will of man, and he is not responsible for them, for he is compelled to endure them. But in the choice of good and bad actions he is free, and he commits them according to his own will. ——Abdu’l-Baha.... 

有些事,如正义、平等、残暴和非正义,以及一切好和坏的行为,是以人的自由意志为转移的。显然这些行动绝大部分取决于个人的好恶。但有些事他是被迫承受的,如睡眠、死亡、疾病、衰弱、受伤和厄运。这些事不以他的意志为转移,他也不必为它负起责任,因为他被迫去忍受它。但是在好和坏的选择方面,他是自由的,他以自己的意志做出承担。 ——阿博都-巴哈。
