為什麼我們要花很長時間才能瞭解自己有多糟糕？ (Why It Can Take Us So Long to Understand How Unwell We Are)
- This priority can last for a very long time indeed. After all, a sense of external security isn't remotely assured for most of us until we've settled in a career, built up some capital, bought a home, found a spouse, maybe had some children, by which time we might be in our forties or fifties. Yet our excellence at survival doesn't take away from the basic fact of our situation. We have been born into a mess. We have the ingredients of madness inside us. We have been unmoored by cruelty. We are, quietly, in the recesses of our soul, close to insanity at points, the ineluctable result of too much suffering encountered too soon. But as the external world gets ever safer for us, the internal world has a chance to feel as troubled as it has always been. We may feel far stranger inside at forty than at twenty, even though the causes of our disturbances lie in events far closer to the latter date than the former. Eventually, the pent-up fear and sadness are liable to find a way through. We'll start to do something odd, write long letters to strangers, or crash the car, or sob in public, or develop a certainty that the government is following us. The legacy of the unkindness of which we have been the recipients begins to emerge. With any luck, we may soon enough wind up in a clinic or the consulting room of an experienced therapist and here have a chance to find out more about the sadness and loss that have been inside us since the start. We may finally feel safe enough to let out a very long scream and meet with the love and understanding that were our due from the start.
這種優先權可能會持續很長一段時間。畢竟，對於我們中的大多數人來說，在事業穩定下來、積累了一定的資本、買了房子、找到了配偶、也許有了孩子之前，外部安全感是無法保證的，到那時我們可能已經四五十歲了。然而，我們出色的生存能力並不能掩蓋我們處境的基本事實。我們生來就是一團糟。我們的內心充滿了瘋狂的成分。我們因殘酷而失去自我。我們的靈魂深處悄悄地接近瘋狂，這是過早遭遇太多痛苦的必然結果。然而，當外部世界對我們越來越安全時，我們的內心世界卻有機會像以往一樣感到不安。四十歲時，我們的內心可能會比二十歲時陌生得多，儘管造
- We will start to do something odd—write long letters to strangers, or crash the car, or sob in public, or develop a certainty that the government is following us.
為了逃避愛，我們能有多拼命？！ (The Lengths We Go To Avoid Love)
- Or perhaps our parental figure was constantly at the office or unavailable behind a locked study door. They might have had a violent, unpredictable temper or left us somehow feeling that we were just never good enough for them. As a result, to an extent we may not even have realised, we became experts at independence. We came to associate safety with a high degree of self-protective isolation. We might have become big readers or fascinated by the animal world or obsessed with music or computer games. Without quite knowing we had done so, we learnt never to trust a flesh-and-blood, three-dimensional human again. Our experiences may not have affected the strength of our longing for love, but they have heavily impacted our capacity to endure mutually satisfying relationships. We may now, as adults, tell ourselves that we want closeness and surrender. We will sob sincerely when we lose love, but we are continually taking steps to ensure we will never be at any sustained risk of finding it. The true terror for us is not that love should fail, but that it should, by some oversight on our part, succeed. For this would ask of us a level of defencelessness and exposure to another person and to a chance of happiness that has no precedent in our lives and poses immense, ego-shattering challenges to the armoured way our personalities have been structured.
又或者，我們的父母常年在辦公室，或者在緊鎖的書房門後無暇顧及我們。他們可能脾氣暴躁、難以捉摸，或者讓我們莫名其妙地覺得自己永遠配不上他們。是以，在某種程度上，我們甚至沒有意識到，我們成了獨立專家。我們開始將安全與高度的自我保護隔離聯繫在一起。我們可能變得喜歡閱讀，對動物世界著迷，對音樂或電腦遊戲著迷。在不知不覺中，我們學會了不再信任有血有肉、立體的人類。我們的經歷也許並沒有影響我們對愛的渴望，但卻嚴重影響了我們維持相互滿意的關係的能力。作為成年人，我們現在可能會告訴自己，我們想要親近和屈服。當我們失去愛情
- We will sob sincerely when we lose love,

未寄出信件的祕密力量！ (The Secret Power of Unsent Letters)
- A general principle of mental health is that the less we are able to express, the more unwell we get. It's when we have to stifle our rage, sadness or fear that we start to develop secondary symptoms – sleeplessness, paranoia, bitterness, poor digestion – just as our spirits can lighten and our horizons expand, once we can find a way to lend outward form to our pains. However, the problem is often one of occasions. We may in theory be ready to say and feel all sorts of things, but our outward circumstances may be highly unconducive to free expression. Perhaps the person we'd really like to say something to is dead, or they may, just as problematically, be distracted, fragile or frightening. We then make the error of imagining that there can be no point in speaking and on this basis stifle our emotions to our increasing cost. But this is to miss out on an unexpected quirk of our psyches. What may matter most in many situations is not, as we might think, that the person we need to speak to is actually able to hear what we have to say, but rather that we have a proper, in-depth chance to say it anyway. There can be as much benefit in shouting our feelings to a deserted beach, a large pillow or an empty chair as there would in having a lengthy dialogue with an intimidating parent or an obtuse lover. The best technique in this tradition may be to write a letter that we never send, either because the person in question is no longer alive or because we just have no expectation that what we could write would remotely be understood. The discipline of writing a long letter has the effect of galvanising our hitherto confused and disparate emotions and forces our intelligence to lay out our story in a systematic and emotionally logical way. As we write, we turn what might have been an inchoate sob into something intelligible, plausible, compassion-inducing and moving. We go from I hate you so much or why why why to a full, leisurely recap of how we felt, why we suffered and what the legacy of our injury has been. We can be like a grown-up lawyer making a case in a courtroom of adults on behalf of a frightened or muddled child. We can take our absent reader into the details of a story that they refuse to see existed and may have done their best to silence. We are giving ourselves an opportunity to feel legitimate in our own eyes. We may realise that the real audience we needed all along was ourselves. We suffer unnecessarily when we think that the only form of catharsis is one that can unfold in the physical presence of a person who damaged us. Our freedom is fortunately far greater than this, because the real sceptic we need to win over and explain our full story to is chiefly and crucially always ourselves.
心理健康的一個普遍原則是，我們越不善於表達，我們就越不健康。當我們不得不壓抑自己的憤怒、悲傷或恐懼時，我們就會開始出現繼發性症狀--失眠、多疑、苦悶、消化不良--而一旦我們能夠找到一種方法，將我們的痛苦以外顯的形式表現出來，我們的精神就會變得輕鬆，我們的視野就會變得開闊。然而，問題往往出在場合上。理論上，我們可能已經準備好說出和感受各種事情，但我們的外在環境可能非常不利於自由表達。也許我們真正想說的人已經死了，或者他們也可能心不在焉、脆弱或令人恐懼。於是，我們就會錯誤地認為說話沒有任何意義，並據此扼殺我們
