面有点污,人人匿笑,而已不知,有告之者,无不忙忙拭去。若曰:点污在我,何与若事?必无此人情。至告以过者,何独不然?
脸上有个污点,别人见了都暗自发笑,而自己还不知道,一旦有人直言相告,马上就用手拭去。如果还说:「我脸上有污点,与你有什么关系?」就不合乎人之常情了。可是当别人指出自身的缺点错误时,人们的态度为何就不是这样呢?
出自《道德经》,忘语在作品中引用,表达天地无情的世界观。
The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history. Then have somebody write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history. Before long the nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was. The world around it will forget even faster.
