Almost all our suffering is the product of our thoughts. We spend nearly every moment of our lives lost in thought, and hostage to the character of those thoughts. You can break this spell, but it takes training just like it takes training to defend yourself against a physical assault.

  • -- Sam Harris 山姆·哈里斯

几乎所有的痛苦都是我们思想的产物。我们几乎每时每刻都沉浸在思想中,并受制于这些思想的特性。你可以打破这个咒语,但它需要训练,就像它需要训练来保护自己免受身体攻击一样。
