"A good book is an event in my life."

我不害怕坠入爱河，我害怕的是无法坠入爱河。

The problem is, if you really believe in a society where those who merit to get to the top, get to the top, you'll also, by implication, and in a far more nasty way, believe in a society where those who deserve to get to the bottom also get to the bottom and stay there. I nother words, your position in life comes to seem not accidental, but merited and deserved. And that makes failure seem much more crushing.

众人的好恶容易察明，但自身的缺点好恶则不易发现。
