When God loves a creature he wants the creature to know the highest happiness and the deepest misery He wants him to know all that being alive can bring. That is his best gift. There is no happiness save in understanding the whole.

  • -- Thornton Wilder 桑顿·怀尔德

当神爱一个受造之物时,他要受造之物知道最大的幸福和最深的痛苦,他要他知道活着所能带来的一切。那是他最好的礼物。只有理解整体才是幸福。
