城堡内的房间（1）

    想象一下，你的心是一座雄伟壮丽的城堡，里面有宽敞的走廊和数以千计的房间，每个房间都是完美的，里面藏有一件独一无二的珍宝。每个房间都代表了你内心中的一种特质，整座城堡就是所有这些特质的统一体。小时候你可以无所顾忌的进入每一个房间，无论房间里有些什么东西，你都会大胆踏进去，每个房间都与别的房间截然不同。你的整个城堡沐浴在爱的光芒之中。然后有一天，大人们进入了你的城堡，告诉你有几个房间并不完美，不应该作为城堡的一部分，他们说要想让城堡变得完美，你必须把这些房间的门锁起来。你听信了他们的话，照他们所说的做了，随着你的年龄增长，越来越多的人开始造访你的城堡，城堡里不再是一片光明，而是出现了越来越多阴暗的角落。

    由于各种各样的原因，你锁上的门越来越多。不知不觉间，你的城堡变得面目全非。

     Rooms in the castle（1）

    Imagine that your heart is a magnificent castle with spacious corridors and thousands of rooms. Each room is perfect and contains a unique treasure. Each room represents a characteristic in your heart, and the whole castle is the unity of all these characteristics. When you were young, you could enter every room without hesitation. No matter what was in the room, you would step into it boldly. Each room is different from other rooms. Your whole castle is bathed in the light of love. Then one day, the adults entered your castle and told you that there were several rooms that were not perfect and should not be part of the castle. They said that to make the castle perfect, you must lock these rooms. You listened to them and did what they said. As you grow older, more and more people begin to visit your castle. The castle is no longer bright, but there are more and more dark corners.

     For various reasons, you lock more and more doors. Before you know it, your castle has changed beyond recognition.
