“我是你的父母,不是你的朋友,不是你的玩伴,也不是你的仆人或司机。你和我并不是平等的。我要对你的安全和发展负责。我的守候就是教会你如何在这个世界获得成功。
Why is this? Well, for one thing, I brought you into the world, or I at least chose to bring you into my world.
为什么我要这样做?第一,是我把你带到这个世界的,或者说,我是把你带到我生存的世界中最亲近的人。
For another, I love you and don’t want anything bad to happen to you.
第二,我爱你,并且不希望你遭遇任何不好的事情。
But when I do, they will be honest mistakes, mistakes I’ve made because I did what I thought was right for you in the moment.
但是当我犯错时,都是无心之过,我犯错是因为在那一刻,我做了我认为对你好的事情。
However, know this: If you fail to do the right thing, you’re going to find me right there, showing you the way until you can get it right. So you see, even though it might not always seem to be so to you, I’m on your side.
然而,你要知道:如果你做错了事情,你会发现我就在你的身边,告诉你正确的做法,直到你掌握了它。你看,即使我无法一直看着你,我也会在你身边。
你是我的儿子或女儿,你和我捆绑在一起,以后也不会摆脱我。
I’m here to help you get what you want out of life, but to help you to do it in the right way. And if it turns out that you want the wrong things, I’m here to help you turn the wrong things into right things.
我存在的目的就是帮助你获得你想要的生活,并且帮助你用正确的方式达到目的。如果你想要错误的东西,我就会帮助你把错误的东西转换成正确的东西。
