Hello Annie, Let me try that one ;) " The bible says (or Confucius teachings) says : God gave humanity the freedom to choose,that implies that everybody is free to choose how to live. However in real life most of the time we don't choose to be free, rather to stupidly go through struggles followed by loss and emptiness . That is perhaps because we are always not willing to abstain,always entangled in greed.We always can't understand or maybe not willing to understand .No matter what , in the choice between simple and complicated ,we always choose the difficult ,we always choose pain. " This is one version of the translation that might not be that adequate.Chinese natives could possibly refine it :)

Cherry has already given a perfect version. (To tell the truth,I'm not qualified enough to refine.Sorry.) The bible says : God gave human beings the freedom to choose,then does that imply that everybody is free to choose how to live?In real life,however,most of the time we don't experience the freedom to choose, but stupidly go through struggles before making a choice, and filled with loss and emptiness after doing so. That is perhaps because we are always not willing to abstain and always entangled in greed.We always can't understand or maybe not willing to understand .The simple or the complicated,no matter which will be the choice, it will always be too difficult to be done and the process will always be too painful.
