The important thing is to develop the capacity to see one thing through the lens of another, to see the particular in the light of the general.
重要的是培养透过另一种事物的视角来看待一件事的能力,从普遍性中看到特殊性。
有时候遇到急切之下弄不明白的事情,应当适当宽缓一下,或许自然而然就真相大白了,不要操之过急,那样会使当事人十分恼怒,反而增加了事情的复杂性;有的人急切之下任你怎么劝都不听从,不妨随他的便,不去劝他,他或许自己慢慢就会悔悟,不必要采用强制手段逼迫他听从,那样只能激发他的逆反心理,使他更加冥顽不化。
"Literature is the bridge between the individual and the universal, connecting personal experience with the collective human condition."
The human condition is fundamentally about longing and loss.
