心态的平静是不能测量的。可是我能够确定的是,我珍惜拥有平静心态的分分秒秒。而每当我想到平静的心态也许正在不断地从身边悄悄溜走时,我就会感到焦虑。
■心灵小语
平静是我们每个人都想追求的心理状态,可是却总是难以实现,只有当我们将内心的所有担扰和疑虑全部放下时,才能真正感受到。
Pioneering Peace of Mind
Jeffrey Shaffer
Peace of mind is something I think about every day。 It’s great to have confidence when stepping out my front door that I will be able to move around the local environment1 without fear and return home safely。
But peace of mind depends on mutual2 trust from every citizen—that as we walk the streets and conduct our personal affairs we hold the same basic views and values about maintaining a civil society。
Every time a violent crime or terrorist act is perpetrated on unsuspecting victims; when a sniper starts shooting or a bomb explodes; our collective peace of mind is eroded; along with our willingness to trust all the unknown people with whom we share sidewalks; shopping malls; and other public spaces。
Safety precautions and technology may encourage peace of mind but they can’t substitute for it。 My neighborhood bank branch was robbed a few years ago。 Now thick plastic slabs protect every teller’s window and surveillance cameras monitor the lobby。 If I am gunned down while making a deposit3; the videotapes will probably help police apprehend the guilty party and bring him or her to swift justice; but that fact doesn’t make me sleep better at night。 I would rather have no security cameras and no robbers4 to worry about in my personal universe。
Forgive my wish fill thinking; but you don’t have to look far in this world to see how cultural creativity and dynamism evaporate when people are forced to devote most of their time and energy to self…defense。
We have spent more than 200 years trying to build a society that provides everyone with ongoing5 opportunities to enjoy life; liberty; and the pursuit of happiness; and it hasn’t been easy。 A 1915 book entitled A History of Travel in Anlerica by Seymour Dunbar described the harsh conditions facing early settlers who crossed the eastern mountain ranges and headed into the western wilderness。 It explained how the constant danger and anxiety affected their outlook and behavior。
Dunbar writes; “They walked with a soft and swinging stride; keeping themselves always well poised。 For no man ever knew whether his next move would be a leap to the right or to the left; a dive behind a log; a dash ahead or a rush backward over the path he had e。。。”
Peace of mind can’t be measured。 All I know for sure is that I appreciate every moment l have it。 And I am alarmed whenever I get the feeling it may be steadily slipping away。
多一点微笑

有一个大家耳熟能详的伊索寓言,说的是狮子和老鼠的故事。故事是这样的:一头狮子正在睡午觉,一只小老鼠不小心碰到了他的爪子,结果吵醒了他。狮子刚想张开血盆大口把老鼠吃掉,这时小老鼠喊了起来:“求求你,放了我吧。你不会想到,说不定有一天我会帮助你的。”当然,狮子听了觉得很好笑,小老鼠竟然会有帮助大狮子的想法!不过,那天,狮子善心大发,便放过了小老鼠。几天之后,那只狮子受困于网中。他费尽周折想挣脱束缚,然而绳子太结实了,他失望地咆哮着。在不远处,那只小老鼠听到狮子的吼叫,急忙跑了过来,用锋利的牙齿咬断了网绳,解救了狮子。这只小老鼠果真用自己的能力回报了狮子的恩情。
同情一个人是件很容易的事情。有时,简单地向别人微笑可能就是意义非凡的举动。例如,一个人不管在哪里,差不多都会遇到这样一种情况:在当地总会有受到排斥的人。当你下一次再看到这个人的时候,不要不加理睬便从他的旁边走过,而应停下来向他微笑,打个招呼,这样我们的世界就会截然不同。或者,也许你认识的这个人总是被人取笑、受人捉弄或受到侮辱。一不要跟着嘲弄的人群起哄,二不要只是站在旁边沉默不语,仅仅一个美好的同情之举就可以帮助这个不幸的人免受痛苦的折磨。这两个例子形象地说明了同情他人是多么简单的事情。
富有同情心能让每个人的生活更加多姿多彩。知道细心呵护并表达善意就能使一个人的生活更愉快。另外,如果一个人友善地对待别人,那么他自己的感觉也会好起来。 一个有同情心的人知道体谅人、关心人、热心助人,总之,自己就是一个满怀关爱的人。因此,拥有同情心本身也是一种回报。
同情是一条不可估量的重要的“人生法则”,每个人都应该遵循其规律。善良仅仅是一个简单的举动,结果每个受其感染的人生活得会更好,生活质量会更高。如果大家养成同情和善良的习惯,试想每个人会有多开心,多幸福啊。每个人都将知道他或她被关心着,所有人都能感受到自己在关心人、爱护人。想象一下,仅仅是因微笑这么简单的举动就会换来这样的快乐。
Taking the Time to Smile
Nicole Kuncl
There is an old aesop fable that tells the story of a lion and a mouse。 As the story goes; a mighty1 lion was enjoying a nap when a tiny mouse ran across his paw and wakened him。 The lion was just about to make a snack2 of the mouse when he cried; “Please let me go。 You never know; some day I might be able to help you。” Of course; the lion scoffed at the idea that a little mouse would ever be of any help to a great lion。 However; the lion was feeling benevolent that day; so he allowed the mouse to go。 A few days later; the lion was trapped in a net。 He pushed and struggled with all his might; but the ropes were too strong。 He roared with frustration3。 The tiny mouse; not too far away; heard the lion and ran to him。 With his sharp teeth; he gnawed through the ropes of the net and set the lion free。 The tiny mouse truly had been able to repay the kindness of the mighty lion。
Showing passion to another person can be very simple。 Sometimes; simply smiling at someone can be an incredibly powerful gesture。 For example; anywhere one goes there is almost always the guarantee that there will be someone there who is considered an outcast。 The next time one sees this person; instead of ignoring him and walking on by; taking a second to smile and offer a greeting would make a world of difference。 Or; perhaps there is someone one knows who is always teased; picked on and insulted。 Instead of joining in on the chorus of jeers; or merely remaining a silent bystander; a wonderful passionate gesture would be to stand up for the less fortunate person being tormented。 These examples both beautifully depict how easily one can show passion to another。
