生活不是為了快樂 (Life is Not About Being Happy)
04:14
- We, the often troubled ones, the typically anxious ones, the ones who frequently reach the end of a day as exhausted and shaken as if we'd crossed mountains, we might judge our complicated situations with a new, rueful kind of pride. We belong to a distinctive and in its way estimable cohort. We're always going to find a cloud on our horizons. We'll never spend more than half an hour before being visited by some kind of distemper. We're never going to accept things as they are or make totally wise choices around love or work.
我們，經常煩惱的人，典型的焦慮者，經常在一天結束時像翻山越嶺一樣疲憊不堪、搖搖欲墜的人，我們可能會以一種新的、譭譽參半的自豪感來評判我們複雜的處境。我們屬於一個與眾不同、值得尊敬的群體。我們的視野中總會有一片烏雲。我們在被某種瘟疫侵襲之前的時間永遠不會超過半小時。我們永遠不會接受現實，也不會在愛情或工作上做出完全明智的選擇。
