Love your Life
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 find faults even in paradise. Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poorhouse. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the almshouse as brightly as from the rich man's abode; the snow melts before 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.
不管生活多么卑贱，去面对，去生活；不要逃避生活，不要把生活看的如此悲惨。它并没有你想象的那么坏。当你最富有之时，它却看起来最贫瘠。挑剔者就算在天堂也会吹毛求疵。尽管生活贫困，也要热爱你的生活。就算在救济院，你也可能拥有一段愉快、兴奋、美妙的时光。从救济院的窗户上反射出来的落日，和富人住处反射出来的是一样的明亮；春天到来之际，门前的雪一样会融化。我只知道一种宁静的心态可以让我们满足的活着，就像住在宫殿里的人一样拥有愉悦的思想。
对我来说，城镇上所有人中，穷人常常过着最独立的生活。可能他们只是毫无忧虑地接受社会救济。大部分人认为他们不屑由城镇救济；然而更常发生的是穷人们用不诚实的手段来供养自己，这是更有损名誉的事。把贫穷看成园中之花一样培养，就像圣人一样。无论是衣服还是朋友，不要折磨自己去寻找新花样。反璞，归真。不是事物改变，而是我们变了。让我们抛开衣服的束缚保留思想。
