人生不是為了快樂！ (Life is Not About Being Happy)
- But this doesn't perhaps have to be the measure of everything. We don't need to be constantly offended by our agitations. Our day-to-day troubles don't have to be the yardstick by which we judge the value of our lives. Given where we've come from and how we're constituted, we were never going to be happy in any obvious way. But perhaps a good life can in the end be compatible with being fairly perturbed most days of the week. Perhaps it doesn't matter that a relationship has failed once more. Perhaps it isn't appalling that our business doesn't deliver us the returns we might have had in our old job. We've stretched ourselves, we've learned to raise our voices, we've developed courage. We don't have to see marks of grief and trouble as some kind of a violation of a pristine contract, but as the logical and immovable consequences of our stubborn and subtle natures interacting with the complexities of existence. We're sometimes frightened into reorienting our lives by being asked to contemplate how we might feel about them from the vantage point of our deathbeds. But if on this bed we were to look back at a rollercoaster of emotions and events, we might have got married for the fifth time recently, we might smile to ourselves and, to the beeping of the heart monitor beside us, say with wisdom and compassion, it wasn't a calm life for sure, it wasn't for the most part even a happy one, but heaven knows it was a truly and properly interesting one. And with this as our measure, we might meet our end with all the satisfaction and self-acceptance we could hope for.
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
