自然界中每年的痛苦总量超出了所有体面的思考。在我写这句话的一分钟内，成千上万的动物被活生生地吃掉，许多其他动物在逃命，因恐惧而呜咽，其他动物则被寄生虫从内部慢慢吞噬，成千上万的动物因饥饿、口渴和疾病而死亡。
The total amount of suffering per year in the natural world is beyond all decent contemplation. During the minute that it takes me to compose this sentence, thousands of animals are being eaten alive, many others are running for their lives, whimpering with fear, others are slowly being devoured from within by rasping parasites, thousands of all kinds are dying of starvation, thirst, and disease.
译文：事情到了难以处置的时候，只要能退让一步，就会很容易解决的；事业将要成功的时候，如果放松懈怠，便会功败垂成。赏析：我们在处事的时候，如果面临进退两难的境地，只有学会退让便能海阔天空。明知不可为而为之，事情将相持不下。一件事情在将要成功时，就要更加小心谨慎，防止意外发生，导致事情功亏一篑。
