The total amount of suffering per year in the natural world is beyond all decent contemplation. During the minute that it takes me to compose this sentence, thousands of animals are being eaten alive, many others are running for their lives, whimpering with fear, others are slowly being devoured from within by rasping parasites, thousands of all kinds are dying of starvation, thirst, and disease.
自然界中每年的痛苦总量超出了所有体面的思考。在我写这句话的一分钟内，成千上万的动物被活生生地吃掉，许多其他动物在逃命，因恐惧而呜咽，其他动物则被寄生虫从内部慢慢吞噬，成千上万的动物因饥饿、口渴和疾病而死亡。
Psychology must bridge the gap between theory and practical life.
You are deciding your life right now.
