Concentration Finds the Way
不幸就像一張巨大而不易破壞的網，等待著我們每一個人落網。
當有一天它突然降臨，
我們那顆未設防的心連同那美好的幸福都會在瞬間化為烏有。
災難並不可怕，可怕的是你無法承受災難。
當悲哀、疼痛或不幸這些黑暗降臨在我們頭上時，
當你邁著疲勞而躊躇的腳步蹣跚而行時，
你完全可以選擇永遠快樂、永遠幸福，
或是選擇無盡的黑暗。
生活沒有什麽是你能力所不及的，也沒有什麽是你無法承受的。
去麵對黑夜、暴風雨、饑餓、愚弄、意外和挫折吧！
就像樹和動物一樣。
在不幸中成長
The Lesson of Evil
詹姆斯·艾倫 / James Allen
Unrest and pain and sorrow are the shadows of life. There is no heart in all the world that has not felt the sting of pain， no mind has not been tossed upon the dark waters of trouble， no eye that has not wept the hot blinding tears of unspeakable anguish...
In the strong， and apparently indestructible meshes of evil all are more or less fast caught， and pain， unhappiness and misfortune wait upon mankind.
With the object of escaping， or in some way mitigating this overshadowing gloom， men and women rush blindly into innumerable devices， pathways by which they fondly hope to enter into a happiness which will not pass away.
Such are the drunkard and the harlot， who revel in sensual excitements； such is the exclusive aesthete， who shuts himself out from tulle sorrows of the world， and surrounds himself with enervating luxuries； such is he who thirsts for wealth or fame， and subordinates all things to the achievement of that object； and such are they who seek consolation in the performance of religious rites.
And to all the happiness sought seems to come， and the soul， for a time， is lulled into a sweet security， and an intoxicating forgetfulness of the existence of evil； but the day of disease comes at last， or some great sorrow， temptation， or misfortune breaks suddenly in on the unfortified soul， and the fabric of its fancied happiness is torn to shreds.
