CHAPTER 11 DEVELOPING VALUES
第十一章 培養價值觀

When you hear a man say, “I hate,” adding the name of some race, nation, religion, or social class, you are dealing with a belated mind. That man may dress like a modern, ride in an automobile, listen over the radio, but his mind is properly dated about 1000 B.C.
