To hold our tongues when everyone is gossiping, to smile without hostility at people and institutions, to compensate for the shortage of love in the world with more love in small, private matters; to be more faithful in our work, to show greater patience, to forgo the cheap revenge obtainable from mockery and criticism: all these are things we can do.
当所有人都在闲聊时,保持沉默;对人和机构微笑而不带敌意;用更多的爱在小事上弥补世界上爱的不足;在工作上更加忠诚;更加耐心;放弃以嘲笑和批评来获得廉价的报复:这些都是我们可以做的事情。
Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.
所有事物都是由土和水生成和成长的。
"The fundamental fact about all of us is that we're alive for a while but will die before long. This fact is the real root cause of all our anger and pain."
