被骗的感觉 林钰堂
有的人期待别人的回答
都是一五一十 全盘托出
如果发觉不合期许
就有被骗的感觉
做出激烈的反应
就是法官、检察官
也不见得能得到完整的回话
我们又凭什么 问东问西呢
别人又为什么 要一一报告呢
世事往往复杂 一言难尽
东说西说 难免伤人败事
存心好 顾人隐私
极宜守口如瓶 轻轻带过
讨你好 口若悬河者
今天可以为你出卖他人
明日难免转念将你泄底
知道那么多别人的事 又如何
难道还不知道人间只是
老病死 老病死 无尽的苦循环
一个小脑袋 又能知道多少呢
多管别人的闲事
您会快乐吗
您能得解脱吗
除非您能藉之教示佛法
不然 还是收起妄执
好好自修吧
醒醒 小心眼
你被骗的感觉
出乎愚迷的执着
而不是有谁对不起您

Feeling of Being Cheated Yutang Lin
Some expected others' replies
To be detailed and at full length
When learned to be otherwise
Feeling of being cheated arose
Vehement reactions poured out
Even judges and district attorneys
Might not obtain complete answers
How could one ask questions as one wishes
Why should others report to one all details
Worldly matters are often complicated, and hardly describable in few words
As one mentions this and mentions that, people and matters might get damaged
With good intentions, and care for others' privacy
It is only prudent to keep one's mouth tight, and talk about things at surface
Intending to please, and let words pour like river flowing from the mouth
Such a person can betray others for you today
Will probably reveal your secrets to others tomorrow
Knowing so much about others' matters, so what
Aren't you still unaware that in the human realm it is only
Senility, illness, death senility, illness, death endless recycling of suffering
With only a small head, how much can you know
Minding so much of others' matters, out of your way
Will this make you happy
Can you thus gain liberation
Unless you could use such opportunities to convey Dharma
Otherwise, it would be better to wrap up such deluded grasping
And devote your energy to practice Dharma diligently
Wake up, narrow mind-sight one
Your feeling of being cheated
Was born of ignorant and deluded grasping
But not due to someone's betrayal
