U svom kratkom, meditativnom govoru, David Brooks predlaže da unutar nas postoje dvije strane: prva strana koja žudi za uspjehom, gradi svoju biografiju i druga koja traži povezanost, zajednicu, ljubav - vrijednosti koje sačinjavaju odličan hvalospjev. (Joseph Soloveitchik ih je nazvao "Adam I" i "Adam II".) Brooks se pita: Možemo mi napraviti ravnotežu između ove dvije strane?

Vrline hvalospjeva su one
00:25
that get mentioned in the eulogy,

13647
1482
koje su spomenute u hvalospjevu,
00:27
which are deeper: who are you,
in your depth,
in your depth,
6
15129
2938
a one su dublje: ko ste vi u dubini,
00:30
what is the nature of your relationships,
7
18067
1776
koja je priroda vaših odnosa,
00:31

da li ste ćelavi, nježni,
pouzdani, dosljedni?

more important of the virtues.

najvažnije od svih vrlina.

00:40
But at least in my case,
are they the ones that
are they the ones that
11
28127
2073
Ali barem u mom slučaju,
da li o njima najviše razmišljam?
Odgovor je ne.
Odgovor je ne.
00:42
I think about the most?
And the answer is no.
And the answer is no.

And the tricky thing,
I'd say, about these

Mislim da je problem u tome što
01:51
two sides of our nature is they work
40
99578
1692
ove dvije strane funkcionišu
01:53
by different logics.

is a moral logic and
often an inverse logic.

132809
2240
i često zapostavlja Adama II.
02:27
And the problem is, that turns
you into a shrewd animal

54
135049
3232
Problem je u tome što
vas to pretvara u prepredenu životinju

02:30
who treats life as a game,

02:56
I was reminded of a common
response through history

66
164180
3447
Podsjetio sam se
čestog odgovora kroz historiju

Through history, people
have gone back

u svoje prošlosti,
03:09
sometimes to a precious
time in their life,

and often, the mind
gravitates in the past

čina propusta, plitkosti,
03:23
the sin of anger, the sin of self-pity,

03:38
You go into yourself,
you find the sin

81
206409
2858
Kada zavirite u sebe, naći ćete grijeh
koji ste počinili iznova tokom života,
03:41
which you've committed over
and again through your life,
and again through your life,
82
209267
1672
03:42
your signature sin
83
210939
1801
vaš karakteristični grijeh
03:44
out of which the others emerge,
84
212740
2691
iz kojeg proizilaze drugi,
03:47
and you fight that sin and you wrestle with that sin,
85
215431
2864
pa se borite s tim grijehom
i hrvate se s tim grijehom,
i hrvate se s tim grijehom,
03:50
and out of that wrestling,
that suffering,
that suffering,
86
218295
3136
i iz tog hrvanja i patnje
03:53
then a depth of character is constructed.
87
221431
3618
stvara se dubina karaktera.
03:57
And we're often not
taught to recognize
taught to recognize
88
225049
1902
Mi često ne znamo prepoznati
03:58
the sin in ourselves,
89
226951
1136
grijeh u nama,
04:00
in that we're not taught in this culture
90
228087
1848
u ovoj kulturi nismo podučeni
04:01
how to wrestle with it,
91
229935

kako da se hrvemo s njim,
04:03
how to confront it,
and how to combat it.

1656
Na kraju, Reinhold Niebuhr
04:14
summed up the confrontation, the fully lived
