人们感兴趣的并不是他们想要什么东西,而是他们想要成为什么样的人。
在任何时刻,他们的胡思乱想、心血**和野心勃勃都可能遭遇打击,然而不管肮脏还是纯洁,他们内心的思想和欲望都会自然而然地滋长起来。
“命运之神”
就藏在我们心里,它其实就是我们自己。
能约束人类的只有人类自己:思想和行为是命运的狱卒——囚禁那些思想卑贱的人;与此同时,它们也是自由的天使——解放那些品德高尚的人。
一个人所期盼和祈求的东西并不能如愿,他所得到的只是应得的。
唯有与思想和行为和谐一致时,他的期盼和祈求才会得到回应和满足。
既然事实如此,那么“与环境抗争”
又有什么意义呢?它是指在一个人不断对抗外来压力时,心中却又一直滋长并留存着产生这种压力的思想。
这种思想要么有意识地堕落,要么无意地被削弱。
但不管是哪一种,它总是顽固地妨碍着一个人的发展,因此需要提醒他去矫正。
人们总是迫切希望改善环境,却从不肯改变自己。
所以,他们做什么事都是麻烦不断。
一个勇于自我反省的人在实现理想目标的道路上永远不会失败。
