聽神談【「全人生活」的三個核心觀念】
現在我要給你們三樣工具，用它，你可以確定你的人生會有益地度過。這些是「全人生活」的核心觀念（Core Concepts of Wholistic Living）：
·覺知（Awareness）
·誠實（Honesty）
·承擔負責（Responsibility，即：覺知後願意誠實面對，並勇於承擔的責任感）
要覺知你做了什麼，然後誠實以對。對於你明知是你製造的後果要誠實，然後選擇為它們負責。這是第三個工具。它是一種偉大的成熟，一種重大的心靈成長的跡象。
可是，只要你們的社會仍然將「負責」與「懲罰」劃上等號，你們就不會想這樣做。過去有太多時候，負責意謂著要「承受一項挫敗」。但負責任並不意謂罪惡感（guilt）。毋寧說，承擔負責是指：願意去做你能做的一切，以使你們產生的後果盡可能成為最好；並且，當別人選擇去體驗那後果，而在任何方面受到了傷害時，你也會盡你所能地去補救它。
摘自《與神為友》第19章
Now I will give you a trio of tools with which you may be sure that your life will be lived beneficially. These are the Core Concepts of Wholistic Living:
Awareness
Honesty
Responsibility
Be aware of what you have done, and then be honest about it. Be honest about the outcomes you know very well that you have produced. Then choose to take responsibility for them. This is the third tool. It is a sign of great maturity, great spiritual growth.
However, as long as your society equates responsibility with punishment. Too often in the past, taking responsibility has meant "taking a fall." But responsibility does not mean guilt. Rather, it means a willingness to do whatever you can to make the outcomes you produce the best they can possibly be, and to do what it takes to remedy whatever can be remedied, should others choose to experience the outcomes as damaging in any way.
