The most common(最常见的) boundary violation(越界行为) we commit in life(我们一生中会犯下的), is none other than(无外乎) barging uninvited(贸然闯入) into another person’s life chessboard(他人的人生棋局), and forcefully rewriting(强行改写) the trajectory of their destiny(他人的命运轨迹)—all under the banner of(这一切都打着…的旗号) "it’s for your own good"(“为你好”).
We all too easily(我们总极易) fall prey to(陷入) the arrogance(傲慢) of the self-proclaimed sober(自诩清醒者的).
When a friend chooses(当朋友选择了) a path(一条路) we deem a detour(我们眼中的弯路), we earnestly persuade(我们便苦口婆心地劝说) them to turn back(让他们回头), even at the cost of(甚至不惜) falling out(撕破脸皮).
When a loved one lives(当亲人过着) a life(一种生活) we disapprove of(我们不认可的), we mobilize all our resources(我们便动用所有资源) to pave a "correct" path(铺就一条“正确”的路) for them(为他们).
When a stranger is trapped(当陌生人困于) in hardship(困境之中), we presume to make(我们便贸然做出) life-altering decisions(关乎一生的决定) for them(为他们) based on(基于) one-sided observations(片面的见闻).
We always think(我们总以为) we hold the truth(自己手握真理) in our hands(在手中), that we can help others(能帮他人) avoid pitfalls(避开陷阱), cut losses(及时止损), and take shortcuts(走捷径).
Yet we forget(可我们却忘了) that in the chessboard(在棋局里) of each person’s life(每个人的人生中), it is they(是他自己) who place the pieces(落子的人), and they alone(也唯有他自己) who must bear(必须承担) the weight(重量) of victory or defeat(输赢的).
Zhuangzi(《庄子》) tells the famous tale of(记载了一则著名的故事) "Opening the Orifices for Hundun"(“混沌开窍”).
The Ruler of the Southern Sea(南海之帝) and the Ruler of the Northern Sea(北海之帝), grateful for(感念于) Hundun’s boundless kindness(混沌的善意相待), noticed(发现) he had no(他没有) seven facial orifices(七窍) and resolved to(便决意要) chisel them open(凿开它们) for him(为他).
They chiseled(他们凿开) one orifice(一窍) each day(每日), and on the seventh day(到了第七日), Hundun died(混沌死了).

If you shield them(若你替他挡下) from all the karma(所有因果) they are meant to endure(他本该承受的), those unfinished lessons(那些未完成的功课) will eventually come back(最终终将反噬) to haunt their life(他的人生) with doubled ferocity(以加倍的烈度).
There is no(世间从没有) one-size-fits-all answer(放之四海皆准的答案) to life(之于人生) in this world(在这世间).
The broad highway(康庄大道) in your eyes(你眼中的) may be(或许是) a prison(一座牢笼) to them(于他而言); the detour(弯路) you shun like the plague(你避之不及的) may be(或许是) their spiritual practice(他的修行).
Hidden in(藏在) each person’s destiny(每个人的命数里) are(是) the lessons(课题) they need to learn(他必修的), the karmic bonds(因缘) they need to resolve(他要了却的), and the truths(道理) they need to awaken to(他要参悟的).
No one(没有人), not even(哪怕是) their closest kin(他的至亲), has the right(都没有权利) to take their place(越俎代庖) and act on their behalf(替他行事).

When someone is trapped(当有人困于) in their predicament(自身的困局) and reaches out for help(伸手求助时), handing them an oar(递给他一把桨) is kindness(便是善意).
But if(但若) they have not spoken(他未曾开口), and you leap(你便跳上) onto their boat(他的船) and snatch the rudder(抢过舵盘), it is(这便是) an offense(冒犯), no matter how(无论多么) good your intentions are(你的初衷再好).
You can share(你可以分享) your life experience(你的人生经验), but you cannot(却不能) write the script(写就剧本) of another’s life(他人的人生).
You can lend a hand(你可以伸出援手) when someone falls(当有人跌落时), but you cannot(却不能) walk the path(走完路) they are meant to take(他该走的) for them(替他).
