This video was made possible by brilliant.org Whether we buy something nice, travel somewhere beautiful, experience something fun, accomplish something difficult, or build a great relationship, the happiness we acquire from accomplishing our goals eventually seems to dissipate.

本視頻由 brilliant.org 提供 無論我們買了什麼好東西、去了什麼美麗的地方旅行、經歷了什麼有趣的事情、完成了什麼艱鉅的任務或建立了什麼美好的關係，我們從完成目標中獲得的快樂最終似乎都會消散。

We're all striving for happiness, but few of us ever really achieve and maintain it.

我們都在追求幸福，但很少有人能真正實現並保持這種幸福。

The reason for this is obvious once you understand the ideas of the great German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche.

只要瞭解德國偉大哲學家弗里德里希-尼采的思想，原因就顯而易見了。

In his provocatively titled Antichrist, Nietzsche asked himself, What is happiness?

尼采在題為《反基督者》（Antichrist）的挑釁性文章中自問："幸福是什麼？

The feeling that power increases, that a resistance is overcome.

感覺力量增強了，阻力被克服了。

What could Nietzsche possibly mean by that quote?

尼采的這句話究竟是什麼意思？

What does happiness have to do with power?

The answer is more profound than you can imagine, and that's the idea I'm going to explore in today's video, and I'm going to do it through a dialogue.

答案比你想象的要深刻得多，這就是我要在今天的視頻中探討的想法，我將通過對話來探討。

After weeks of climbing the mountain, the student finally reached the top where he saw the sage's house.

幾經周折，學生終於爬到了山頂，看到了聖人的房子。

He came in search of answers, and the following conversation is a record of what he was told.

他是來尋找答案的，下面的對話記錄了他所聽到的內容。

Master, I have spent years searching for happiness, but I can't find it.

大師，我多年來一直在尋找幸福，但我找不到。

Sage, Searching for happiness is a mistake.

Isn't that the most important thing in life?

這難道不是生命中最重要的事情嗎？

Sure, but you will not find it by seeking it.

當然，但你不可能通過尋找找到它。

Chasing happiness is like chasing the horizon.

The more you move towards it, the further it recedes from you.

It only sounds wrong because you think I'm saying to pursue power over others.

之所以聽起來不對，是因為你認為我是在說要追求凌駕於他人之上的權力。

You see, fire has the power to burn, but it also has the power to heat and cook.

你看，火有燃燒的能力，但它也有加熱和烹飪的能力。

Chasing power does not mean chasing power over others.

追逐權力並不意味著追逐凌駕於他人之上的權力。

Power is what allows you to overcome obstacles in your way.

力量使你能夠克服前進道路上的障礙。

Power is what allows you to overcome the resistance that stands in the way of your goals.

力量能讓你克服阻礙你實現目標的阻力。

So chasing power means making yourself physically, mentally, spiritually, socially, and productively stronger.

是以，追逐力量意味著讓自己在身體、心理、精神、社交和生產方面變得更強大。

How you wield that strength is up to you.

如何發揮這種力量取決於你自己。

好吧，但這怎麼能讓我開心呢？

How did you feel as you were making your way up the mountain?

But with every step I made getting closer to you, the more excited I got about receiving answers to my questions.

但我每走近你一步，就越興奮，因為我的問題得到了解答。

And how did you feel when you made it to the very top of the mountain?

當你登上山頂時，你有什麼感覺？

嗯，我想最好的詞就是......開心。

With every step you took up the mountain and towards my home, you were overcoming the resistance of reaching me.

你上山的每一步，向我的家走去的每一步，都是在克服到達我身邊的阻力。

Now, what happened after you felt the happiness of reaching the top of the mountain?

現在，在你感受到登上山頂的快樂之後，又發生了什麼？

I wanted to ask you a question about happiness.

我想問你一個關於幸福的問題。

And how would you feel if I did not give you any answers?

如果我不給你任何答案，你會作何感想？

And how would you feel if I gave you an answer?

如果我給了你答案，你會作何感想？

You set a goal and that goal comes with a resistance.

你設定了一個目標，而這個目標是有阻力的。

When you overcome that resistance, you feel happy.

當你克服了這種阻力，你就會感到快樂。

But when that resistance overcomes you, you feel frustrated.

但當阻力戰勝你時，你就會感到沮喪。

And once you overcome all of the resistances associated with one goal, you just set a new goal, which creates a new resistance for you to overcome.

一旦你克服了與一個目標相關的所有阻力，你就會設定一個新的目標，這又為你創造了一個需要克服的新阻力。

如果你想要幸福，就去追逐力量。

Because power is what allows you to overcome resistance.

And the more resistances you can overcome, the happier you will be.

你能克服的阻力越多，你就會越快樂。

Now that you scaled one mountain, do you think you'll be able to do another more easily?

既然你已經翻越了一座山，你認為你還能更輕鬆地翻越另一座山嗎？

Yeah, I think I can probably even scale a bigger mountain in the future than the one I just did to get to your house.

是啊，我想我將來甚至可以翻越比剛才去你家那座山更大的山。

So you are more powerful now than before.

所以，你現在比以前更強大了。

而你就是通過挑戰自己做到了這一點。

Set goals that challenge you physically, mentally, spiritually, socially, and productively each day.

設定目標，每天對自己的身體、心理、精神、社交和工作提出挑戰。

And when you overcome them, slightly increase the difficulty of the next challenge.

當你克服了這些困難後，下一個挑戰的難度就會略有增加。

Continual challenge will make you more powerful.

不斷的挑戰會讓你變得更加強大。

In the Antichrist, Friedrich Nietzsche wrote, What is happiness?

弗里德里希-尼采在《反基督者》中寫道："幸福是什麼？

And I explored the meaning of this quote through a dialogue.

我通過對話探討了這句話的含義。

The reason people struggle to achieve and maintain happiness is because they believe it's an everlasting state.

人們之所以難以獲得和保持幸福，是因為他們認為幸福是一種永恆的狀態。

Happiness is not some everlasting state that we reach once and for all.

幸福不是一勞永逸的永恆狀態。

It's a feeling that arises when we overcome the resistance that stands in the way of our goals.

當我們克服阻礙我們實現目標的阻力時，就會產生這種感覺。

Such as finishing a marathon, acing a test, or landing a job.

比如跑完馬拉松、在考試中取得好成績或找到一份工作。

So if we want to be happy, Friedrich Nietzsche suggests that we chase strength and power, not happiness.

是以，如果我們想要幸福，弗里德里希-尼采建議我們追逐的是力量和權力，而不是幸福。

When you have lots of strength and power, you can easily overcome the resistances that stand in the way of your goals.

當你擁有大量的力量和能量時，你就能輕鬆克服阻礙你實現目標的阻力。

And overcoming resistance is what makes us happy.

而克服阻力正是我們的快樂所在。

In other words, happiness is the natural byproduct of a powerful organism achieving its goals.

換句話說，幸福是一個強大的有機體實現其目標的自然副產品。

And so nothing makes us more unhappy than weakness, and an inability to accomplish our goals.

是以，沒有什麼比軟弱和無法實現目標更讓我們不快樂了。

And the only way to increase your power is to physically, mentally, spiritually, socially, and productively challenge yourself a little each day.

而增強力量的唯一方法就是每天在身體上、心理上、精神上、社交上和工作上挑戰自己。

Such that you will grow just a little stronger than before.

這樣，你就會比以前更加堅強。

Happiness does not lie in comfort, luxury, idleness, and laziness as most people subconsciously believe it does.

幸福並不像大多數人潛意識裡認為的那樣，存在於舒適、奢華、無所事事和懶惰之中。

But rather, human happiness lies in continual challenge, improvement, and growth.

相反，人類的幸福在於不斷挑戰、改進和成長。
