點亮生命的故事—enlightening stories

不帶評論的觀察是人類智力的最高形式。 The ability to observe without evaluating is the highest form of intelligence. 人們相信上帝，因為他們害怕生命。 但只有當你熱愛生活時，你才會發現上帝是什麼。 但我們大多數人都避免生活，就像所有聖徒，所謂的宗教人士一樣。 他們——聖人要壓制生命，要塑造它，要管教它，要控制它，要打敗它，結果就是他們是乾枯的、枯萎的人，永遠談論上帝； 但他們離上帝還差得很遠。   People believe in god because they are afraid of life. but it is only when you love life that you find out what god is. but most of us avoid life, just as all the saints, the so-called religious people, do. they-the saints want to suppress life, they want to shape it, discipline it, control it, beat everything out of it, and the result is that they are dry, withered human beings who everlastingly talk about god; but they are nowhere near god.
