A Quote

As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be
simpler; solitude will not be solitude, poverty will not be
poverty, nor weakness weakness.
--Henry David Thoreau

参考译文：

如果你能简化你的生活，世界的规律也会随之简化；你将不再孤独，不再贫困，也不再脆弱。

My Comment:

I like this quote. I appreciate a simple life like this, though it sounds somewhat lazy and less responsible for the social role of a man. I don’t wanna be a successful, powerful, or rich man, not to mention a hero. All I want is to make my loved ones happy as I am, wherever I am and what ever happens. Is that simple enough? Maybe yes or no. But I think it’s at least a happy enough life, ‘cause, for me, such life means “solitude will not be solitude, poverty will not be poverty, nor weakness weakness.”
