I'm not here to be understood; I'm here to be felt.
"I guess that’s just part of loving people: You have to give things up. Sometimes you even have to give them up."
译文:人世间能够享有千金产业的,一定是个拥有千金福报的人;享有百金产业的,也必定是有百金福报的人;遭到饿死的,也绝对是命中注定应遭饿死果报的人。上天只不过是就每个人所造作的善恶质性,厚实恰当地来对待他,使他获得应有的结果而已,何曾加上一丝毫喜好或厌恶的念头?
I quite agree with them that it is not an ennobling experience. Poverty entails fear, and stress, and sometimes depression; it means a thousand petty humiliations and hardships. Climbing out of poverty by your own efforts, that is indeed something on which to pride yourself, but poverty itself is romanticised only by fools.
