Enlightenment Now 就当我为你读了一首诗吧 --启蒙此刻

in steven •  6 years ago 

平克的英文造诣炉火纯真,他的文字,将语言之美体现得淋漓尽致,我把这段话的引文也放在这里,供你欣赏:

Remember your mate: an anecdote is not a trend;

Remember your history: the fact that something is bad today doesn't mean it was better in the past;

Remember your philosophy: one cannot reason that there's no such thing as reason , or that something is true or good because god said it is;

And remember your psychology: much of what we know isn't so, especially when our comrades know it too.

平克通过大量的数据告诉我们,这个世界真的在变好,然而人们的感受却普遍消极,这是由人类的心理机制决定的。

当你觉得生活很糟时,你可以从三个方面来调整自己:

从心里层面,你要知道,无论多大的痛苦,你的感受终将回归均值;

从生理层面上,你的大脑也会慢慢帮你恢复正常状态;

当你觉得学东西是在太累,坚持不下去时,可以想想平克说过的话--你学习的所有东西,都有意义。

最后,如果在有人跟你说“今不如前”,你就可以告诉他一个确切且积极的答案,当然,你还可以建议他去读读平克的新书。
