人生不是為了快樂！ (Life is Not About Being Happy)
- And judged on this basis, many of us have to admit, in the silence of our minds, that we're not really doing very well. There's so much that every year, and perhaps almost every day, comes along to spoil our ambitions. There's a power struggle at the office, there's a problem in our families, our friends feel superficial or disengaged, our anxieties don't abate and our relationships are scratchy or distant. Our difficulties generate a basic layer of misery, but then a secondary layer is swiftly added to it, caused by an underlying sense that our unhappiness represents a fundamental violation of life's true purpose. Not only are we unhappy, we are unhappy that we are unhappy, in the light of our tightly held belief in the possibility of a state of enduring satisfaction. We're both sad and crushed that we have failed at the single most important goal open to all sane and ambitious humans.
據此判斷，我們中的許多人不得不在沉默中承認，我們做得並不好。每年，也許幾乎每天，都會有很多事情來破壞我們的雄心壯志。辦公室裡的權力鬥爭，家庭中的問題，朋友們的膚淺或疏遠，我們的焦慮並沒有減輕，我們的人際關係也很微妙或疏遠。我們的困難產生了一層基本的痛苦，但隨後又迅速增加了第二層痛苦，這是由一種潛在的感覺造成的，即我們的不快樂從根本上違背了生活的真正目的。我們不僅不快樂，我們還因為自己不快樂而不快樂，因為我們堅信有可能獲得持久的滿足。我們既悲傷又崩潰，因為我們未能實現所有理智而有抱負的人所追求的最重要的目標
- and our relationships are scratchy or distant.
但這也許並不是衡量一切的標準。我們不需要總是被自己的躁動所冒犯。我們的日常煩惱不必成為我們判斷人生價值的標尺。鑑於我們的出身和構成，我們永遠不會有明顯的幸福。但是，也許美好的生活最終可以與一週中大多數日子的焦慮相容。也許一段感情再次失敗並不重要。也許，我們的事業沒有給我們帶來在以前的工作中可能得到的回報並不令人震驚。我們拓展了自己，我們學會了發出自己的聲音，我們鼓起了勇氣。我們不必把悲傷和煩惱的印記看作是對純潔契約的某種違反，而應看作是我們頑固而微妙的天性與複雜的生存環境相互作用所產生的合乎邏輯的、不可動
