对我来说，这总是很奇怪……我们钦佩的人的品质，如善良、慷慨、开放、诚实、理解和感受，在我们的系统中是失败的伴随物。而我们厌恶的那些特质，如精明、贪婪、占有欲、卑鄙、自我中心和自私，是成功的特质。

All suffering originates from craving， from attachment， from desire.

I not only came to understand that 'change' was a part of Josie, and that I should be prepared to adapt to it, but I also began to realize that this was not a trait unique to Josie; I came to understand that people often feel the need to present a carefully prepared version of themselves to the outside world - much like arranging a shop window - and once the moment has passed, there's no need to take it too much to heart.

It is not, nor cannot come to good. But break, my heart, for I must hold my tongue.
