Nice Guys Are Prone to Be Bullied2-人善被人欺？2

我真诚待人，人不真诚待我，该如何？我以善意待人，人以恶意待我，又该如何？一味心善，被踩死是活该吗？

I am sincere to others, what if others are not sincere to me? And Itreat others with kindness, what if others treat me with malice? Stubbornlysticking to kindness is doomed to being bullied? 善良绝不等于软弱可欺，恰恰相反，善良是一种力量，看见光明、战胜阴暗、唤醒美好的力量，当想放弃善良时，正说明自己内心的软弱无力。人生来就应该善良，失去了善良的心，即使得到了一时的成功，又有何快乐可言呢？更何况，善业必感善果，恶业必感恶果，不可急功近利，只看一时一事。

Kindness is by no means equal to being weak and easily bullied, butinstead a kind of power to see the light, to conquer the dark and to awaken thegood. It’s just when you want to give up kindness that shows your innerweakness. Everybody should have been born to be kind. Without a kind heart, whowould have been happy even if achieving a temporary success? More importantly,good deeds lead to good results, and evil ones bad consequences. Never justlook at one thing at a time and seek quick success and instant gain for now.

社会上的现实通常是人善被人欺马善被人骑，我即使有向善之心，但却屡屡因此吃亏挫败，当做何解？

Usually, good people are apt to be bullied in social reality, justas strong horses are likely to be ridden. Even with a good heart, I stillrepeatedly suffer losses and setbacks. How should it be explained? 不要把吃亏挫败归罪于善良，这是什么因果？当下所受的境遇，是许多因缘共同作用的果报，善良是自己为人处世的态度和选择，我们看不清业果、因缘，遭遇逆境时却胡思乱想。知识才能要学习，业果法则更要学习。

Don’t impute losses and setbacks to kindness, but have such athought: what is the cause and effect? The situation here and now is the resultof many causes and conditions working together. Kindness is our attitude andchoice in dealing with people. We tend to not see clearly the causal effectsand conditions, but fall into thinking nonsense in adversity. That’s why weneed to learn more about the law of karma based on acquiring knowledge andskill.

为什么善良的人总是会受到伤害？

Why do good people always get hurt? 他人的伤害不是因为我们善良，是因为我们不够强大。

The harm from others is not in that we are kind, but in that we arenot strong enough.
