自由地看和聽，來代替應該如何看、如何聽。

文 / Virginia Satir

The freedom to see and hear what is here, instead of what should be, was, or will be. The freedom to say what one feels and thinks, instead of what one should. The freedom to feel what one feels, instead of what one ought to. The freedom to ask for what one wants, instead of always waiting for permission. The freedom to take risks in one's own behalf, instead of choosing to be only "secure" and not rocking the boat.

自由地看和聽，來代替應該如何看、如何聽。自由地說出你所感和所想，來代替應該如何說。自由地感受你所感受的，來代替應該要感受的。自由地要求你想要的，來代替總是等待對方允許。自由地根據自己的想法去冒險，來代替總是選擇安全的路，而不敢搖晃自己的船。
