Love Your Life
Love Your Life热爱生活
Henry David Thoreau/享利.大卫.梭罗
However mean your life is,meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call it hard names.It is not so bad as you are.It looks poorest when you are richest.The fault-finder will f ind faults in paradise.
Love your life,poor as it is.
You may perhaps have some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hourss,even in a poor-house.The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode;the snow melts 2before its door as early in the spring.
I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there,and have as cheering thoughts,as in a palace.
The town's poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any.May be they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving.
Most think that they are above being supported by the town;but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means.which should be more disreputable.
Cultivate poverty like a garden herb,like sage.
Do not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes or friends,Turn the old,return to them.
Things do not change;we change.Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.
不论你的生活如何卑贱，你要面对它生活，不要躲避它，更别用恶言咒骂它。它不像你那样坏。你最富有
的时候，倒是看似最穷。爱找缺点的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺点。你要爱你的生活，尽管它贫穷。甚至
在一个济贫院里，你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候。夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上，像身在富户人家窗上一
样光亮；在那门前，积雪同在早春融化。我只看到，一个从容的人，在哪里也像在皇宫中一样，生活得心
满意足而富有愉快的思想。城镇中的穷人，我看，倒往往是过着最独*立不羁的生活。也许因为他们很伟大，
所以受之无愧。大多数人以为他们是超然的，不靠城镇来支援他们；可是事实上他们是往往利用了不正当
的手段来对付生活，他们是毫不超脱的，毋宁是不体面的。视贫穷如园中之花而像圣人一样耕植它吧！不
要找新的花样，无论是新的朋友或新的衣服，来麻烦你自己。找旧的，回到那里去。万物不变，是我们在
变。你的衣服可以卖掉，但要保留你的思想。 Very good,it'a wonderfull! "Do not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes or friends,Turn the old,return to them."
I don't quite agree...... It's not the same situation at the moment, especially in China.
I think it's another kind of solitude. It's not a good choice to keep oneself away from "new clothes".
Fear to see new things then you will be dumped by the society one day.
I do believe desire is what makes one move forward. If you lost it, you might lose all.
I always love life, but not because of its poor. It's its new, novel experience waiting ahead that attracts me. Well. Thank you so much............ I feel very upset until I saw this ,It's very useful for me ,thank you! very hearten
