A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
生活
Lives
The damage that climate change is causing and that will get worse if we fail to act goes beyond the hundreds of thousands of lives, homes and businesses lost, ecosystems destroyed, species driven to extinction, infrastructure smashed and people inconvenienced.
气候变化所造成的破坏,如果我们不采取行动,将会变得更糟,不仅是数十万人失去生命、家园和企业、生态系统遭到破坏、物种濒临灭绝、基础设施遭到破坏、人们生活不便。
Almost all our suffering is the product of our thoughts. We spend nearly every moment of our lives lost in thought, and hostage to the character of those thoughts. You can break this spell, but it takes training just like it takes training to defend yourself against a physical assault.
几乎所有的痛苦都是我们思想的产物。我们几乎每时每刻都沉浸在思想中,并受制于这些思想的特性。你可以打破这个咒语,但它需要训练,就像它需要训练来保护自己免受身体攻击一样。
It seems to me that everyone on this planet whom I know or have worked with is suffering from self-hatred and guilt to one degree or another. The more self-hatred and guilt we have, the less our lives work. The less self-hatred and guilt we have, the better our lives work, on all levels.
在我看来,这个星球上我认识或共事过的每一个人都或多或少地遭受着自我憎恨和负罪感的折磨。我们的自我憎恨和罪恶感越多,我们的生活就越没有意义。我们的自我憎恨和罪恶感越少,我们的生活在各个层面上就会越好。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Our lives can only be lived forward and understood backwards. Living a life and understanding it occupy different dimensions.
我们的生活只能向前走,向后理解。生活和理解生活是不同的维度。
Every man dies. Not every man really lives.
每个人都会死。不是每个人都有真正的生活。
A man in my situation, my lords, has not only to encounter the difficulties of fortune. and the force of power over minds which it has corrupted or subjugated. but the difficulties of established prejudice: the man dies, but his memory lives.
一个处在我这种境况的人,我的勋爵们,不仅要遭遇命运的困难。以及它所腐化或征服的思想的力量。而是根深蒂固的偏见所带来的困难:这个人死了,但他的记忆还活着。
The dog lives for the day, the hour, even the moment.
狗活在每一天,每一小时,甚至每一刻。
For decades, the journalistic norm had been that the private lives of public officials remained private unless that life impinged on public performance.
几十年来,新闻报道的准则一直是,除非公职人员的私生活影响到公众表现,否则他们的私生活不会公开。
If genetic memory or racial memory persists, is it possible that individual memory also exists from previous lives?
如果遗传记忆或种族记忆持续存在,是否有可能个体记忆也存在于前世?
