The World’s Biggest Problem: Human Contradictions

本站:May 29, 2026原文:May 24, 2026

jīn tiān今天shì jiè世界shàng上hěn很duō多tòng kǔ痛苦，dōu都hé和rén人de的máo dùn矛盾yǒu guān有关。

Many of the suffering in today’s world are related to human contradictions.

zhàn zhēng战争、pín fù chā jù贫富差距、bù不gōng píng公平hé和shè huì社会fēn liè分裂，bù不zhǐ shì只是zì rán自然fā shēng发生de的shì事，hěn很duō多shì是rén人zì jǐ自己zuò chū做出de的xuǎn zé选择。

War, the wealth gap, injustice, and social division do not just happen naturally; many are choices made by people themselves.

zuì最dà大de的máo dùn矛盾shì是：wǒ men我们cháng cháng常常shuō说yī tào一套，zuò做yī tào一套。

The biggest contradiction is this: we often say one thing and do another.

bǐ rú比如，yí gè一个guó jiā国家shuō说xiǎng yào想要hé píng和平，què却yì zhí一直zhǔn bèi准备zhàn zhēng战争；yí gè一个rén人shuō说zì jǐ自己yǒu有zé rèn xīn责任心，què却bù不guān xīn关心shēn biān身边de的rén人。

For example, a country says it wants peace, but keeps preparing for war; a person says they are responsible, but does not care about the people around them.

zhè yàng这样de的máo dùn矛盾huì会ràng让gè rén个人hé和shè huì社会dōu都gèng更tòng kǔ痛苦。

Such contradictions make both individuals and society more painful.

yào要jiǎn shǎo减少chōng tū冲突，wǒ men我们yào要xiān先kàn jiàn看见zhè xiē这些máo dùn矛盾，yě也yào要nǔ lì努力gǎi biàn改变tā men它们。

To reduce conflict, we must first see these contradictions and also work to change them.

zhè yàng这样de的gǎi biàn改变bù不róng yì容易，dàn但lì shǐ历史shàng上yě也yǒu有hǎo好de的lì zi例子。

This kind of change is not easy, but there are good examples in history.

nán fēi南非zài在kùn nán困难de的shí hòu时候，méi yǒu没有zhǐ只xiǎng想zhe着bào fù报复，ér shì而是xuǎn zé选择duì huà对话yǔ与hé jiě和解。

When South Africa was in difficulty, it did not think only about revenge, but chose dialogue and reconciliation.

gē sī dá lí jiā哥斯达黎加qǔ xiāo取消jūn duì军队，yě也shì是zài在yòng用hé píng和平de的fāng fǎ方法bǎo hù保护guó jiā国家。

Costa Rica abolished its army, and that was also a way of protecting the country through peace.

zhēn zhèng真正de的jìn bù进步，yě xǔ也许jiù shì就是ràng让wǒ men我们de的xiǎng fǎ想法、gǎn qíng感情hé和xíng dòng行动gèng更yí zhì一致，yòng用zì jǐ自己xī wàng希望bié rén别人duì dài对待zì jǐ自己de的fāng shì方式qù去duì dài对待bié rén别人。

True progress may be making our thoughts, feelings, and actions more consistent, and treating others the way we hope to be treated.

zhè yàng这样，shì jiè世界cái才huì会gèng更gōng píng公平，yě也huì会gèng更hé píng和平。

Only then will the world become fairer and more peaceful.
