The only thing that makes life possible is permanent, intolerable uncertainty; not knowing what comes next.
【译文】 孔子说:“见到贤人,要向他看齐;见到不贤,要反省自己。”
The human being cannot live in a condition of emptiness for very long: if he is not growing toward something, he does not merely stagnate; the pent-up potentialities turn into morbidity and despair, and eventually into destructive activities.
译文:鸟的羽毛尚未丰满,就不能展翅高飞。
