No. 8: Make voluntary obligations.
第八點：履行自愿義務。
All right, mom and dad, since we were young, they teach us things as children.
好吧，自打我們小時候起，媽媽和爸爸就教我們東西。
Teachers, mentors, the government, and laws,
老師、導師、政府、法律，
they all give us guidelines by which to navigate this life, rules to abide by in the name of accountability.
全都以負責人的名義，為我們提供把控人生的參考、需要遵守的規則。
I'm not talking about those obligations.
我不是在談那些義務。
I'm talking about the ones that we make with ourselves, with our God, with our own consciousness.
我說的是我們對我們自己，對我們的上帝，對我們自己的良心所負有的責任。
I'm talking about the you versus you obligations. We have to have 'em.
我說的是你和你自己的責任。我們必須負起這些責任。
Again, these are not societal laws and expectations that we acknowledge and endow for anyone other than ourselves.
重申一下，這些責任不是我們為他人而非自己而承認并實踐的社會法律和期許。
These are faith-based obligations that we make on our own.
這些是建立在信仰基礎上的義務，是我們主動履行的義務。
These are not the lowered insurance rates for a good driving record;
這些不是因為駕駛記錄良好而降低了的保險利率；
you will not be fined to put in jail if you do not gratify these obligations I speak of.
你們不會因為未能履行我所說的這些義務而被罰入獄。
No one else governs these but you.
除了自己，沒有人能控制這些。
They are your secrets with yourself; your own private council, personal protocols;
這些是你和自己之間的秘密，是你的私人議會、個人協議。
and while nobody throws you a party when you abide by them,
當你履行這些義務時，沒人會為你開派對慶祝，
no one's going to arrest you when you break them either, except yourself,
而當你違背這些義務時，也沒人逮捕你，除了你自己，
or some cops who got a "disturbing the peace" call at 2:30 in the morning
或者某些警察，他們在凌晨2點半接到“擾亂安寧”的報警電話，
because you were playing bongos in your birthday suit. That was me.
說你正一絲不掛地演奏小手鼓。那就是我。
An honest man's pillow is his peace of mind, and when you lay down on the pillow at night,
對于誠實的人來說，安寧的心境是他最好的枕頭，晚上躺在這個枕頭上時，
no matter who's in your bed, we all sleep alone.
不論床上還有誰，你們都能獨自入眠。
These are your personal Jiminy Crickets.
這些是你們個人的道理。
And there are not enough cops in the entire world to police them. It's on you. It's on you.
整個世界上沒有足夠多的警察來監督這些義務。這得靠你們自己，靠你們自己。
