The person you are, matters more than the place to which you go; hence for that reason, we should not make the mind a slave to any one place.  

"I am not born for any one corner of the universe; this whole world is my country."  

As it is however, you are not journeying; you are drifting & being driven, only exchanging one place for another, although that which you seek, – to live well – is found everywhere.  

"The knowledge of sin is the beginning of salvation." 

On Travel as a Cure for Discontent

什么才是真正的好？

无序的快乐必须像犯罪一样付出高昂的代价，即使在犯罪时没有被发现，焦虑也不会随着犯罪后而结束；因此，对于内疚的快乐，即使快乐结束后，内疚遗憾依然存在。

宁可为一些存在的善而抛掷；然而，不可能有这样的善，除非灵魂自内部发现它, 如果你希望结果得以实现，这件事就不能委托给别人。

“真正的财富是根据自然规律调整的贫困。”

What is truly Good ?

Away with disordered pleasures, for just as crimes even if they have not been detected when they were committed, do not allow anxiety to end with them; so with guilty pleasures, regret remains even after the pleasures are over.

Cast about rather for some good which will abide; however there can be no such good except as the soul discovers it for itself within itself; & If you wish the result to be accomplished, this matter cannot be delegated to someone else.

"Real wealth is poverty adjusted to the law of Nature."

On the Good which Abides

理解了死亡就是对生命的热爱!, 思考死亡，将促使我们理解自由，因此知道死亡就是热爱生命！

一个学会了死亡的人，已经放弃了奴役，只有一条锁链将我们与生命联系在一起，那就是对生命的热爱。

抛开世界的意见；因为它总是摇摆不定，总是左右摇摆；因此，仔细区分哪些是你不能做的，还有哪些是你不想做的。

Thinking about death, bids us to understand freedom, as such to know Death is to Love Life !

One who has learnt to die has unlearned slavery, only one chain which binds us to life, & that is the love of life.

Put aside the opinion of the world; as it is always wavering & always takes both sides; hence distinguish carefully what you cannot do, & what you do not want to do.

如何取得进步?

我不知道我是否会取得进步；但我宁愿没有成功，也不愿缺乏信心。

我们所有的财产都不是必不可少的；让我们回到自然法则；按照这个标准；当一个人把自己的欲望限制在这些范围内时，没有穷人。

做每一件事，就好像你的监护人在看着你一样，要有一个你可以仰慕的人，一个你可以视为你思想见证的人；一个孤独的人太接近一个无赖了。

How should I act ?

I do not know whether I shall make progress; but I should prefer to lack success rather than to lack faith.

None of our possessions is essential; Let us return to the law of nature; when a person has limited their desires within these bounds; Nobody is poor according to this standard.

Do everything as if your guardian were watching yyou, & to have someone whom you may look up to, someone whom you may regard as a witness of your thoughts; Alone, you are too close to a rascal.

我们该何时担心可能会发生的事物？，什么是在你的权力范围，而真正的权力在哪里？

让我们把所有可能发生的事情都看作是即将发生的事情；因此为你可能在未来某个时候不快乐时，而现在不快乐，确实是愚蠢的；因此，你因安排适当时间去烦恼。

虽然你的智慧使你自信，但是，由于许多事情都超出了你的权力范围，所以你因该既希望公正的结果，又的要准备好对抗不公正的结局，因此学会，做最坏的打算，做最好的可望。

我们该剥去事物的面具，不仅从人身上，从事物上，恢复每一个物体自身的全方面貌。

论藐视死亡

https://alwaysbeconfident.com

Let us think of everything that can happen as something which will happen; as such, it is indeed foolish to be unhappy now because you may be unhappy at some future time; Hence, allocate a time for worries, & free your appointment for happiness.

Although your conscience makes you confident, yet, since many things have weight which are outside your case, both hope for that which is utterly just, & prepare yourself against that which is utterly unjust, as such prepare for the worst & hope for the best.

We should strip the mask, not only from people, but from things, & restore to each object its own aspect; seek to truly understand the core principles & fundamentals of things.

如何寻找与体会快乐喜悦？

一个健全的基础，不是建立在无用的东西中寻找快乐，而是学会如何去体会自信的喜悦。

灵魂必须自信，只为来自你自身的东西感到高兴，来自一种只走一条平淡平静生活的方式。

因此，我们应该决定我们想要什么，并遵守这个决定。
