憤怒可不是個好惹的敵人。因為它背后還跟著許多同樣面目可憎的幫兇,諸如:沮喪、恐懼、焦慮、壓力,乃至暴怒。憤怒讓負面情緒充斥你的大腦,毀掉你一整天的美好生活,它就像個從你身體里將你一步步蠶食的怪物。因此當感到憤怒時,讓我們先冷靜一下,好嗎?
10."If you get angry easily, it may be because the seed of anger in you has been watered frequently over many years, and unfortunately you have allowed it or even encouraged it to be watered."-–Thich Nhat Hanh
10."若你很容易就感到憤怒,那或許是因為憤怒的種子已在你體內被滋養(yǎng)了多年,而幕后的黑手或許就是你自己,是你為它提供了源源不斷的養(yǎng)料。"--一行禪師
Indeed, you're responsible for your anger. Effectively, to constantly water it would mean you've created the habit of anger. You're probably even addicted to it. To stop being so angry,you've to break out of anger. Stop watering the angry seed within, live your life and start planting other seeds!
沒錯,你得為你的憤怒負責。事實上正是不斷給憤怒的種子施肥的你親手培養(yǎng)了自己易怒的習慣。而且很有可能,你已憤怒成癮。要想擺脫它,你非得從憤怒中掙脫出來不可。鏟除你體內的憤怒之種,好好生活,試著在心里種上些其他的種子!
9."Speak when you are angry – and you'll make the best speech you'll ever regret." --Laurence J. Peter
9."感到憤怒的時候就大聲說出來吧,大可不必壓抑,然后你就可以為你說出的這些話后悔終生了。"--勞倫斯·彼得
You'll never mean the things you say when you're angry. So try to be calm. You don't want toend up saying things that'd only serve to produce guilt and regret.
人在憤怒時說出口的話從來都不是他們的本意。因此,努力讓自己冷靜下來吧。你也不希望自己最終說出那些只會帶來愧疚和悔恨的沖動之詞。
8."Where there is anger, there is always pain underneath." --Eckhart Tolle
8."憤怒之后,必有苦痛。"--埃克哈特·托利
Anger is not a primary emotion. It's secondary. You've find the root cause of your anger. What is it? Fear? Rejection? Sadness? Guilt? It's going to be terrifying, but you've to be honest with yourself and start asking the bigger questions in order to overcome anger.
憤怒并非最主要的導火索,它僅僅是表面。你要去找到究竟是什么導致了你的憤怒。是恐懼?抗拒?還是悲傷或愧疚?這個尋找的過程可能不會很舒服,但你必須這樣做,誠實地同自己對話,只有這樣你才能最終克服憤怒情緒。
7."Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned." --Buddha
7."無法克制憤怒的人就像用手里抓著的滾燙煤塊試圖去攻擊其他人,但最后灼傷的卻是自己。"--釋迦摩尼
That's how it feels like when you keep thinking about revenge or getting back at your wrongdoer or bully. This is why you've to let it go. All the angry thoughts in the world isn't going to help change your situation. The best thing you can do is lead your own life and be happy. That's how you surprise your enemies.
這句話講的不正是滿腦子想著向那些欺辱了你的人復仇與雪恥的你嗎?而這句話也告訴了你,為什么你應該學會讓往事隨風。這個世界上沒有任何一種憤怒下的想法能改善你的處境。你能做出的最佳選擇就是去成為自己生活的主宰,主動地去過一種快樂的人生。相信我,你會讓你的那些敵人們驚掉下巴的。
6."For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness." -–Ralph Waldo Emerson
6."每生1分鐘的氣,你就損失了60秒的幸福。"--拉爾夫·瓦爾多·愛默生
It's only logical. Getting angry is not allowing other positive emotions to come in and that is time and space you'll never get back. And life is way too short to be pissed off all the time.You're going to die eventually, so be smart about it!
這多么符合邏輯。憤怒的情緒占據了你的大腦,意味著所有其他的正面情緒都不得門而入,你所浪費的這些本可以感到快樂的時間和空間可是不會重來的。人生苦短,你真的要一輩子就氣呼呼地過去嗎?人終有一死,我相信你會做個聰明的選擇!
5."Hanging onto resentment is letting someone you despise live rent-free in your head." –-Esther Lederer
5."抓著憤怒的情緒不愿放手,就好比讓一個你厭惡至極的混蛋免費租住在你腦子里。"--埃絲特·萊德勒
That is why you need to stop holding grudges or coming up with scenarios of getting back at them! It simply doesn't make sense to let toxic people play such a big role in your life. Raise the rent in your head. Stick with good people only.
這就是為什么你必須放下怨恨,丟掉那些想要去報復的念頭!原因很簡單,讓那些壞人在你人生的舞臺上出演這么多的戲份是毫無意義的。提高你大腦的準入條件吧。去珍惜那些善良的人們就足夠了。
4."Throughout life people will make you mad, disrespect you and treat you bad. Let God deal with the things they do, cause hate in your heart will consume you too." -–Will Smith
4."我們的人生中都會遇到這樣的一些人,他們讓你氣得發(fā)瘋,他們侮蔑你,虐待你。把他們的這些惡行留待上帝去審判吧,不要去怨恨,因為怨恨的情緒對你自己何嘗不是一種消耗呢。"--威爾·史密斯
Will Smith himself! Yes, life is just like that. People will find a way to make you angry, but that's not something you can control. So let it go. It's no use wishing that people should a bide by your standards. It's only going to make you even more mad. Let God, the universe or life itself deal with them.
是的!這真的是威爾·史密斯說的!人生就是這樣,有一些人總能找到讓你生氣的法子,而這是你所無法掌控的。所以就隨他們去吧。寄望于所有人都遵從你的規(guī)則是不可能的。這種奢望只會讓你更抓狂。讓上帝、宇宙甚至是他們自己去懲罰那些小人吧。
3."Happiness cannot come from hatred or anger. Nobody can say, 'Today I am happy because this morning I was angry.' On the contrary, people feel uneasy and sad and say, 'Today I am not very happy, because I lost my temper this morning.'" -- Dalai Lama
3."厭惡和憤怒的土壤里結不出幸福的果實。'今天我感到很高興,因為今天早上我大發(fā)了一通脾氣。'沒有人會這么說。相反,人們只會沮喪地表示,'今天我不怎么開心,因為我今早情緒失控了。'"--達賴喇嘛
This is so straight-forward. Anger in the end, cannot sustain you. It can perhaps propel you with energy, but if you use it to create more anger, then happiness will never come to you.
說的很明白了,不是嗎。憤怒的情緒無法支撐著你走到最后。也許它可以激勵你一時,但這是個假象,只要你的憤怒沒有消散,幸福就永遠不會降臨。
2."Anybody can become angry — that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way — that is not within everybody's power and is not easy." --Aristole
2."產生憤怒,這很簡單。但有誰可以保證自己能做到生氣時不遷怒、不過度、正合時宜、有理有據又不會一時沖動做出什么傻事呢?這可不是件容易事。"--亞里士多德
I love this quote for the fact that it states how easy it is to be angry. To extend that, I like to say that it's easy for anybody to get angry and start breaking things around the house, shout atsomebody or even get into a fight. It's not easy however, to stay calm, think logically, be wary of consequences and ultimately be the master of your own emotions. Isn't it time westay above it all and work for a happier life?
我特別喜歡這一句,因為它揭示了我們有多么容易憤怒。也就是說,開始憤怒,亂砸東西,對著別人大吼大叫甚至最終拳腳相加,這些都對于人來說沒有任何挑戰(zhàn)性。不容易的是什么呢?是保持冷靜,有序思考,考慮后果,并最終戰(zhàn)勝自己,成為你情緒的主宰。是時候了,讓我們超脫一時的情緒,活出快樂的人生。
1."So other people hurt me? That's their problem. Their character and actions are not mine. What is done to me is ordained by nature and what I do by my own.When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: The people I deal with today will be meddling,ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous and surly. They are like this because they can't tell good from evil. But I have seen the beauty of good, and the ugliness of evil and have recognized that the wrongdoer has a nature related to my own–not of the same blood or birth, but the same mind, and possessing a share of the divine. And so none of them can hurt me."--Marcus Aurelius
1."如果有人傷害了我?那可是他們的問題。他們的性格和行為和我毫無干系。我所遭受的一切都是上帝的旨意和我自己的因果。當你早晨醒來的時候,告訴自己:我今天將碰見的人里,會有多管閑事的,會有忘恩負義的,會有傲慢無禮的,會有虛偽的,會有善妒的,還會有乖戾的。他們之所以會變成這個樣子都是由于他們善惡不分。但我和他們不同,我領略過善之大成,也討教過惡之丑陋,而且我已認識到,這些多行不義之人與我同本同源--我指的并非血緣或出身上的相同,而是指我們生來本擁有一樣純凈的靈魂,卻逐漸在生活的旅程中分出了高下。這就是為何他們的所作所為并不能傷害到我。"--馬可·奧里利烏斯
To sum it up, it means: You're part of a grand journey called life. You're always creating new experiences for yourself. Don't judge the experiences. Just take it in and be happy. What others do with their experiences is their problem. Not yours.
簡而言之,這句話就是要告訴我們:每個人的人生就像一場華麗的旅行。我們會不斷地給自己制造新的奇遇。不要忙著于評判這些經歷好還是壞,快樂地接受就好。而其他人的一舉一動同樣也是在書寫他們自己的旅途,這些并不干你什么事。
