有幾句讓我聯想到 "誰跟你說應該要快樂的 如果你不覺得應該要快樂 就會很容易快樂" 忘了是誰說的>"< 意思大概是這樣 這些想法 頗似 沖虛為盈 無我 而處處有我 但和Samuel Butler那句有點難消解 或許他指的是希望吧 嗯 我認真了^^" 話說回來 有些句子現在看 很深刻
我喜歡的是Samuel Butler那句話的這部分"depend on the direction in which you are tending." 感覺快樂是決定於你心中希望去完成什麼 而在努力的當下就會很快樂 所以並不受限於地位或身份 不過前提是目標的終點是正面的 不然最終帶來的還是misery 我很喜歡看一些格言什麼的 雖然常常看完自己還是什麼都沒做到 不過很喜歡遇到某一句話那種觸電的感覺 總覺得有很多的智慧都濃縮在短短的一句話 告訴你很多又好像沒告訴你 因為意義要靠自己的生活經驗去填補 而且感覺又沒有文學這麼複雜 比較適合我
