放鬆　林鈺堂 簡繁轉換 - 繁體

心直口快易招惹，習性難移當如何？
與其強制守緘默，莫若看開學緩鬆。

跋

或問：「如何學會控制一時衝動之言行？」與其勉強控制，增加緊張，不如多修長遠之觀點，緩和行事舉止之步調，而得以放鬆身心，增進和氣，庶幾免於浮躁。

Relaxing　Yutang Lin

Straight talk readily poured easily stirs dusts up.
Personal habits hard to change; any suggestion?
Instead of forcing oneself to keep silence golden,
Why not open eyes and learn to relax in slowing down?

Comment:

Some asked, "How to learn to control speeches and actions out of impulse?" Instead of trying to control and thereby increase the tension, it would be better to open one’s eyes to long-term and wider-scope perspectives, and to slow down the pace of one’s activities and responses. In this way both body and mind would be more relaxed, and harmony among people may be increased. Thus anxiety and hustle might be avoided.
