疾病是生命的黑夜面,一种更沉重的公民身份。每个出生的人都持有双重国籍,在健康王国和疾病王国。
Illness is the night-side of life, a more onerous citizenship. Everyone who is born holds dual citizenship, in the kingdom of the well and in the kingdom of the sick.
Becoming fearless isn't the point. That's impossible. It's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it.
I'm not afraid to say what I feel, and I'm not afraid to be who I am.
"Freeing yourself was one thing, claiming ownership of that freed self was another."
每个人心中都有一个深渊。有时你会凝视它,有时你不会。
We don't even know how strong we are until we are forced to bring that hidden strength forward. In times of tragedy, of war, of necessity, people do amazing things. The human capacity for survival and renewal is awesome.
