最糟糕的經歷卻讓人有最美好的體驗
Once, when I was in Sicily, I was swindled by a stranger for a hundred dollars. At first I was devastated. I spent the entire next day thinking about what I should have done to keep my money, and what I would do if I had it. But what I learned from this about humanity, about the nature of good and evil within people, and how circumstances force them to do bad things showed me a lot about myself and how to cope with misfortune.
有一次我在西西里島,被一個陌生人騙走了一百美元。起初我非常震驚,第二天,我一整天都在想如果不讓騙子成功得逞的話,我應該怎么做。但從這件事情上,我學到的關于人性、關于人們的性本善和性本惡、關于環境迫使人去做壞事,都讓我對自己審視良多,已經讓我知道了如何應對不幸。
