Dedication to Reality

献身于真实

       The third tool of discipline or technique of dealing with the pain of problem-solving,which must continually be employed  if our lives are to be healthy and our spirits are to grow,is dedication to truth.Superficially,this should be obvious.For truth is reality.That which is false is unreal.The more clearly we see the reality of the world,the better equipped we are to deal with the world.The less clearly we see the reality of the world--the more our minds are befuddled by falsehood,misperceptions and illusions--the less able we will be to determine correct courses of action and make wise decisions.Our view of reality is like a map with which to negontiate the terrain of life.If the map is true and accurate,we will generally know where we are,and if we have decided where we want to go,we will generally know how to get there.If the map is flase and inaccurate,we generally will be lost.

        第三个培养自律的工具或处理问题解决带来的痛苦的技巧，必须持续使用如果我们的生命想要健康和我们的心灵想要成长，是献身于真理。表面上看，这是显而易见的。因为真理是真实的。谬误是不真实的。我们越清楚地看到世界的真实，我们就越有更好的装备来应对世界。 我们越少看到世界的真实--我们的头脑越是被谬误所迷惑，错觉与幻觉--我们越不能确定正确的行动路线和做出明智的选择。我们对现实的看法就像一张地图用它来指引人生的地形。如果这张地图是真实且精确的，我们一般将知道我们在哪里，而且如果我们已经决定往哪里去，我们一般知道怎么去那里。如果这张地图是错误且不精确的，我们一般会迷路。
