How I've been Enriched by Beggars
Moments before, we had been total strangers. Suddenly, we were cemented in a momentary friendship born of our common existence in this world.His eyes shone as we exchanged names.My experience with Vidur confirmed the truth of the Scandinavian proverb："In every man there is a king.Speak to the king, and the king will come forth."
I've learned that those considered the world's most hopeless are so often rich in humanity, with hearts yearning to be affrmed and ready to respond.
My life continues to be enriched by connecting with everyday humanity. Each time I do this, I rediscover that what I have been given is far beyond value.And I reaffrm that everyone is worthy and worth knowing.
参考译文
乞丐启示录
不久之前，我们还完全陌生。突然间，瞬间的友谊把我们紧密联系在一起，我们的友谊诞生于我们在这个世界上的共同存在。我和Vidur的经历证实了斯堪的那维亚的一句格言：“在每个人内心都有一个国王。如果你想与他交谈，国王就会出现。”
我明白了，那些被认为是世界上最没有希望的人却经常富有人性，他们的心灵渴望被认同，也乐于做出回应。
与平凡的人保持联系，一直丰富着我的生活。每次这样做的时候，我都发现我所收获的远远不止金钱的价值。并且我再次坚信，每个人都是有价值的——值得你去了解。
