Unhappy believers first look back to their roots for comfort, but origins rarely comfort and thus they will inevitably search for a new god.

不快乐的信徒会第一次回顾他们信仰的根本——是否能带来心灵上的安慰i，但信仰的根本很少能带来心灵上的安慰，所以他们会不可避免的寻找新的神。

Faith is not about a half-hearted search for God. Faith is about seeking for Him with all your heart.

信仰不是三心二意地寻求上帝，而是全心全意地寻求他。

But this search for God demands of man every effort of intellect, a sound will, "an upright heart", as well as the witness of others who teach him to seek God.

但此种寻求需要人全力运用他的理智、正直的意志，有“一颗诚恳的心”，而且也需要其他人的见证，以引导他寻求天主。

And the drama of human life should revolve not around the search for eternal life but around the moral conflict and tension between a good god's design for creation and the free will of human beings that can corrupt that good design.

而关于人类生命的戏剧,不应该围绕于对永生的追寻,而是道德的冲突和紧张状态，在上帝创造的美好,和人类能腐蚀这种美好创造的自由意志间的冲突。
