I see nothing wrong with the human trait to desire. In fact, I consider it integral to our success mechanism. Becoming attached to what we desire is what causes the trouble. If you must have it in order to be happy, then you are denying the happiness of the here and now.

  • -- Peter McWilliams 麦克威廉斯

我看不出人类的欲望有什么不对。事实上,我认为它是我们成功机制的组成部分。执着于我们所渴望的东西会带来麻烦。如果你必须拥有幸福,那么你就是在否认此时此地的幸福。
