Your growth as a conscious being is measured by the number of uncomfortable conversations you are willing to have.
你作为一个意识生物的成长,将以你愿意接受的令人不舒服的对话的次数来衡量。
In a way, if you like, at one end of the spectrum of sympathy, you've got the tabloid newspaper. At the other end of the spectrum, you've got tragedy and tragic art. And I suppose I'm arguing that we should learn a little bit about what's happening in tragic art. It would be insane to call Hamlet a loser. He is not a loser, though he has lost. And I think that is the message of tragedy to us, and why it's so very, very important, I think.
【译文】 孔子说:“君子有三件事要警戒:年轻时,血气还不成熟,要戒女色;年壮时,血气正旺盛,要戒争斗;年老时,血气已衰落,要戒贪婪。”
