When we talk about settling the world's problems, we're barking up the wrong tree. The world is perfect. It's a mess. It has always been a mess. We are not going to change it. Our job is to straighten out our own lives.

  • -- Joseph Campbell 约瑟夫·坎贝尔

当我们谈论解决世界问题时,我们找错了方向。世界是完美的。这是一个烂摊子。它总是一团糟。我们不会改变它。我们的工作是整顿我们自己的生活。
