【美文】瀑布下面的哲理

kobe

Have you ever stood under a waterfall?

At first, all you hear would just be buzzing noise.

But if you stay there for a little while,

you would find that the noise disappeared.

你曾经站在瀑布下面过吗？

起初，你只能听到杂乱的噪音。

但如果你多待一会儿，

你会发现这些噪音消失了。

It's not that the whole world just fell into silence.

It's just that you have merged into the world around you.

Your heart found its peace.

并不是说整个世界突然陷入了寂静。

只是，你已经融入到你周围的环境之中了，

你的心灵获得了平静。

You still hear the sound.

But you now feel it with your body and your mind,

not your ears.

This is what being calm is all about.

你依旧能听到那些声音。

但你现在是在用你的整个身体和你的思维来感受它，

而不是用耳朵。

所谓冷静，就是这样一个状态。

Most of times

we focus too much on the physical sensation

and we get trapped by it.

But we are humans.

We are superior than other animals

because we can think.

大多数时候，

我们将太多的注意力放在了生理感官上面，

并被它困住了。

但我们是人，

我们是优于其他动物的，

因为我们有思考的能力。

So the next time you find yourself not able to

accomplish something because your mind feels so messed up,

maybe you should take a breath

and think if you have tried hard enough.

Is that really your mind's limit?

Or you just give in to what your body is feeling?

所以，

下一次当你发现自己因为心烦意乱而无法完成某件事的时候，

或许你该深呼吸一下然后问自己，

你真的已经尽力了吗？

这就是你思维能力的极限了吗？

又或者，你只是向你身体上的感受做出了让步？
