Manifested by the financial crisis that had quickly spread across the world, but also in how all these wonderful open borders could lead to what happened to a Boston Marathon

Two boys come here, looking for a college education, seem to be doing well,

and this or that or the other thing goes wrong and they decided that the only way their lives can have meaning is to take some other people's lives away
不晓得被什么刺激了 他俩决定 只有夺取别人的生命 他们的生命才有意义

Most of us who are raised to face failure in the face and fix ourselves up, go back to work and make some good happen

But somehow he thought this isolated him from the rest of the world the only way his life could matter is that he took away the lives of people he didn't even know

So the first decision we have to make, before we can get all the policies and all the things that would change the world for the better, is to share the future.
所以我们要做的第一个决定 在我们制定出所有可能将世界 变得更好的政策和其他事情之前 就是我们需要共享未来
To try to create a world of shared prosperity, where there's shared responsibility, where everybody can be a part of a community as long as they believe in certain values,
要努力创造一个共享繁荣 共担责任的世界 在那里每个人都能成为社会的一份子 只要他们共持一定的价值观
including equal treatment and the absence of violence and the opportunity to begin again.
