沟通中最大的问题是错觉以为沟通已经发生。

People are curious. A few people are. They will be driven to find things out, even trivial things. They will put things together, knowing all along that they may be mistaken. You see them going around with notebooks, scraping the dirt off gravestones, reading microfilm, just in the hope of seeing this trickle in time, making a connection, rescuing one thing from the rubbish.

Faith has to do with things that are not seen and hope with things that are not at hand.

【原文】宰予昼寝。子曰：“朽木不可雕也，粪土之墙不可圬也，于予与何诛?”【译文】宰予白天睡觉。孔子说：“真像腐朽的木头一样无法再雕琢，像粪墙一样不能再粉刷了，对于宰予这个人，我还责备他什么呢?”孔子又说：“开始时我对于人，是听了他的话就相信他的行为；现在我对于人，是听了他的话，还要观察他的行为。宰予使我改变了观察人的方法。”

语言是心灵的声音，而沉默是它的回响。
