臺灣籍旅美老師今天交給我們的句子是:
It's so easy to see someone through your own narrow lens and to like dismiss what they're going through. Or write off their struggles as excuses or complaints. It's a lot harder to try keep in mind the opportunities you were afforded. Just because of where you were born.
你很容易就會只憑自己狹隘的視角所看到的去做評斷,然后無視他人曾經歷過的種種,或是把他們的那些掙扎視為是借口或抱怨。單純因為你的出生環境不錯,你就更難會把你擁有的那些機會放在心上。
