We are biological creatures. We are born, we live, we die. There is no transcendent purpose to existence. At best we are creatures of reason, and by using reason we can cure ourselves of emotional excess. Purged of both hope and fear, we find courage in the face of helplessness, insignificance and uncertainty.

  • -- Jonathan Sacks 乔纳森·萨克斯

我们是生物。我们出生，我们生活，我们死亡。存在没有超越的目的。我们至多是理性的产物，通过理性，我们可以治愈自己的情感过剩。清除了希望和恐惧，我们在无助、渺小和不确定中找到了勇气。
