If I had a vacant house, I couldn't have left it idled. I could've invited the homeless in
the door; I could've asked the panhandlers on the crossover whether they'd like a
stable place to live and to start a new live; I could've moved some orphans in there for them to play together, to grow up together and to study together. It can be a safe haven for the poor, a private school, or an independent clinic. It will be transformed from a vacant house into a house of love.
壹直在想，如果壹個組織做大了，它的本源可以保留多少？是組織擴大所謂的更有效的去幫助別人，還是從小做起，更實質化的去踐行？我迷茫，我無法衡量。而她，只是默默的做就行，不會想多余，船到橋頭自然直，只要壹直貫行信念，執著的去愛，就可以了。當她發現組織變大變味，果斷終止回歸本源，也許是難以避免的循環，但就這樣下去，不也是片中所謂的指引嗎？不要思考這些外界所產生的變化，只要壹直抱有那份信念，就能做正確的事。付出就是收獲。有句話特別喜歡：“主最喜歡的是小的東西，特別是用愛做成的東西。”
I've always been thinking how much of an organization's original purpose could be
preserved once it grew in size. Is it better for us to build an organization so big that
we may help the others with so-called "substantial meaning", or to simply do what we can in a more practical manner - starting with little things? I was lost and I couldn't judge on my own. However, for her it all seemed so simple. She just quietly does it without thinking much about anything else. "When one door shuts, another opens" - things will turn out just fine, simply keep the faith and keep loving the others with a conviction.
When she realized that the organization was slightly off the course as it grew big, she decisively resolved it and reverted back to the basics. Perhaps it is an inevitable cycle, but isn't it the so-called guidance from this film to keep at it? Don't get sidetracked by the changes taking place in the society at large, just stick to the basic principle and you'd be doing the right thing. No pain, no gain. I am particularly fond of the saying that " God's favorite things are all petty, especially those made of love."
整部影片中我沒有看到過Mother Teresa的淚水，只有她那壹雙慈悲眼睛，時時在饑饉，病痛，與死亡面前流露出太多憐憫。倒是我自己，看她壹襲白袍、赤足、涼鞋、緩緩徐行的身影，為之壹再淚傾。
想起亦曾經讓我動容唏噓不已的另壹個句子：“我越來越不愛這個世界，越來越只愛自己”。在日益精致的自私和漠然裏，無法辯解更多，也無從懺悔什麽。只能對這部並不十全完美的影片，在心裏，為它打了五顆星。
I've not seen a single teardrop from Mother Teresa throughout the entire film, only
her compassionate eyes, overflowing with benevolence when witnessing femine, sickness and death. On the other hand, I myself cried over and again watching her in the film pacing slowly in her white gown, wearing only sandals in her barefeet.
I thought of another phrase that once deeply touched me : "Little by little I've lost my passion for the world, more and more I found myself now wrapped up in it." Immersed in the ever so delicate selfishness and indifference, I can't further justify it nor do I have the means to repent. All I could do was to give this film a 5-star rating deep in my heart, despite its imperfection.
我曾也抱有廣泛影響的想法，去做有效的事。也許我忽略了小的愛，而那，其實便是令我真切感動的，那便是讓我真心佩服的，那是我應該去做的。那是所指引出的方向。 愛是可以傳染的，愛是可以感化別人的。不要讓別人理解妳，讓別人去關註妳所要保護的，也是愛的方式。
I've had my illusion to want to be widely influential, to be meaningful in what I do. Perhaps I've neglected the trivia, and that, was in fact what truly moved me. That's what I sincerely admired, that's what I ought to be doing, that is the way. Love is contagious, love can be influential. Allow others to care about what you're protecting, regardless they undertand you or not, this is another way to express love.
撫慰他人，甚於被撫慰。理解他人，甚於被理解。愛他人，甚於被愛。
在死亡中，我們得到永生。
在死亡中，我們得到永生。
感謝妳，前行的途中被愛感動，樸實無華，卻普照世間。
不要迷失了方向。單純的去愛，單純的，最初的。不要忘記。
只要愛才可以永生，只有愛才可以永生，只有愛可以永生。不要害怕，因為它壹直都在。不要擔憂，因為她壹直都在。
To comfort the others, more than being comforted;
To understand the others, more than being understood;
To love the others, more than being loved.
Upon death, we reach eternity.
Upon death, we reach eternity.
Thanks to you, touched by your love on our way forward - plain and simple, yet shined upon us all.
Don't get lost. Simply love, with pure and simple love. Don't forget.
Love is eternity, Love is eternity, Love is eternity. Do not fear, for it is always there. Do not worry, for it is always there.
