特。Very 。For starters, why are we so overly impressed by and obsessed with objects and achievements of immense scale,首先想一想,我們?yōu)槭裁磿?huì)對(duì)巨大的物體和成就刮目相看、情有獨(dú)鐘?When it is actually the tiny little things that, when put together, make bigthings possible? 而實(shí)際上,正是一個(gè)個(gè)細(xì)小的事物聚沙成塔,才造就了樁樁大事。Why do we create our own little worlds so we have the illusion of being pletely in control of our entire ,結(jié)果產(chǎn)生錯(cuò)覺(jué),認(rèn)為自己完全掌控了整個(gè)生命的存在?When we know with absolute certainty that we are not? 而我們千真萬(wàn)確地知道,事實(shí)并非如此。Why we go on and on about individuality being the very essence of whowe ,認(rèn)為這是生命的本質(zhì)。And then accept a degrading level of conformity in virtually every facetof our lives? 繼而又大言不慚地承認(rèn),幾乎在生命的每一個(gè)方面,我們都存在共性呢?Why do children believe in fairies, but “grownup” don’t?為什么孩子相信神話(huà),而“大人”不相信呢?And why do we get so hung up on what we don’t agree on, when in fact it’s our differences that make life interesting?為什么我們對(duì)分歧毫不讓步,而事實(shí)上,正是彼此間的差異才使生命如此有趣?We all have filters on, so we mostly see only what we want to you finally open your eyes, you may be shocked at the obscured way you have been viewing the world to suit you own little ,所以大多數(shù)人只看到自己想看到的東西。最終睜開(kāi)眼睛時(shí),你可能會(huì)大為震驚,沒(méi)想到為了滿(mǎn)足個(gè)人的小算盤(pán),自己竟會(huì)這樣模糊的看世界。With those filters removed, you can take a closer look into yourself and ask objective questions about the universe and your place in other words, investigate the meaning of ,你可以更真切地發(fā)現(xiàn)自我,詢(xún)問(wèn)有關(guān)宇宙以及你在其中的位置這類(lèi)客觀問(wèn)題。換句話(huà)說(shuō),探究生命的意義。So what is life all about? Well, you often hear that “l(fā)ife is a journey,” buta journey to where, exactly?那么生命的意義何在?嗯,你經(jīng)常聽(tīng)人們說(shuō)”生命是一段旅程”,但確切地說(shuō),這段旅程的目的地是哪兒?Some people say that life is all about acquiring that’s true, then why do smart people always dress so badly? 有些人說(shuō),生命的意義在于獲取知識(shí)。如果是這樣,為什么聰明人總打扮得這樣糟糕?There are those who say that life has no purpose。it just “is”.Whoa, that’sjust so “deep!”也有人說(shuō),生命根本沒(méi)有目的,生命就是“存在”。哇,Then there are people who say that we’re simply here to have a all, the desperate need to replace ourselves is etched into the geneticmap of every living ,我們來(lái)到世上,就是為了組建一個(gè)家庭。畢竟,繁衍后代的迫切需要已經(jīng)深深地印在了每個(gè)物種的基因圖譜中。However, this means that our entire existence is driven by our primitive sexual , sure, a long weekend maybe, but our entire existence?I don’t think ,這意味著我們的整個(gè)存在都是由原始的性沖動(dòng)驅(qū)使的。好吧,也許一個(gè)漫長(zhǎng)的周末可以這樣,但是整個(gè)生命歷程呢? In fact, e a tiny bit closer and I’ll let you in on a little secret事實(shí)上,靠近一點(diǎn)兒,讓我告訴你一個(gè)小秘密All these ideas sound pletely stupid!所有這些想法聽(tīng)起來(lái)都愚蠢無(wú)比!!The only theme that resonates throughout the numerous popular life theories is , in all its fragile forms, is the one powerful, enduring force that brings real meaning to our everyday ,唯一永恒的主題就是愛(ài)。愛(ài),盡管它的存在形式非常脆弱,卻是唯一強(qiáng)大而持久的力量,它給我們的日常生活帶來(lái)了真正的意義。Of course, I’m not talking about romantic, “kissykissy” love, althoughthat is pretty stuff in ,我不是在談?wù)摿_曼蒂克、卿卿我我的愛(ài),盡管那本身也是一種相當(dāng)強(qiáng)大的力量。It’s well documented that a broken heart feels far more painful than squeezing lemon juice over a deep paper ,But the love I mean is the fire that burns inside us all, the inner warmth that prevents our soul from freezing in the winters of ’s the loveof life ,我所說(shuō)的愛(ài)是在我們內(nèi)心深處燃燒的火焰,是這種內(nèi)心的溫暖是的心靈不會(huì)被令人絕望地的冬天冰封。It’s the voice that says ”Celebrate life, be creative!” It brings with it the passion and understanding that some things in life are worth dying for, but there is so much more worth living ,在說(shuō):“擁抱生命,盡情創(chuàng)造吧!”隨之而來(lái)的時(shí)對(duì)生命的激情和理解:生命中有些東西是值得為之赴湯蹈火的,何況還有那么多值得為之It encourages us to greet each moment the same way we greet an old friend at the airport, to embrace opportunities to express ourselves in a way that makes us feel glad we ,就像在機(jī)場(chǎng)迎接一位故友,它鼓勵(lì)我們擁抱展現(xiàn)自我的機(jī)會(huì),讓我們?yōu)榇嬖诙械娇鞓?lè)。This love of life leads us to help others simply because it feels great tocontribute to those around ,僅僅因?yàn)闉橹車(chē)娜俗鲂┦虑楦杏X(jué)實(shí)在是太好了。We all know how wonderful it feels to be a rock for our family and,成為家人和朋友的可靠支柱是美好的感覺(jué),But as good as it sounds, and as “you’re here to live the life you love” rings true, it still brings up a whole pile of sticky ,盡管這聽(tīng)起來(lái)蠻不錯(cuò)的,“你來(lái)到世上就是為了過(guò)自己喜愛(ài)的生活”,這好像也不錯(cuò),可是仍然有一大堆糾纏不清的問(wèn)題。Specifically: Why exactly are you here? What is it that you truly love? 特別是:你到底為什么來(lái)到這世上?你真正摯愛(ài)的是什么? People who don’t ask themselves these questions invariably go through life wondering why it isn’t a lot more ,不知道為什么沒(méi)有更多的樂(lè)趣。They often feel they’ve been left 。Or they can’t quite put it into words, but they sense that something justsmells a little ,但的確察覺(jué)到有些東西味道不對(duì)。The truth is that often we’re so focused on what we are doing that we losesight of where we are ,我們經(jīng)常過(guò)于專(zhuān)注眼前的事情,而看不到前進(jìn)的方向。But what are we actually doing? The modern world is filled with questionable distractions, deadlines, and ,我們實(shí)際上在做什么呢?現(xiàn)代世界充滿(mǎn)了令人質(zhì)疑的干擾、時(shí)限和次序。Day and night blur into 。We get caught up in an avalanche of fears and desires that propel us into arace we can’t possible ,強(qiáng)迫我們加入一場(chǎng)不可能獲勝的賽跑。So we rush, rush, rush to get to a certain ideal point in our life, and then
