我們多數(shù)人只將激情用于一件事——性；或者椭符，遭遇激烈悲情荔燎，并極力化解悲情。但我使用“激情”一詞销钝，意在一種心態(tài)有咨，一種生命境界，一種精神內(nèi)核狀態(tài)蒸健。如果你有激情座享，你會有強烈的感受，那是一種高度的機敏纵装，對于萬物保持同樣的敏銳：骯臟與貧窮征讲，奢華與腐朽；樹影婆娑橡娄，小鳥啁啾诗箍，河水潺湲；夜色下池水如鏡挽唉，映照著滿天星輝……我們需要強烈地感受到這一切滤祖。若沒有激情筷狼，生命就會變得空虛、膚淺匠童，無甚意義埂材。如果你不能看見這綠樹之美并愛上它，如果你不能對這棵樹產(chǎn)生深切的關愛汤求，那么你是了無生機的俏险。
——克里希那穆提《生命書：365觀心日課》（The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti）
A Passion for Everything
For most of us, passion is employed only with regard to one thing, sex; or you suffer passionately and try to resolve that suffering. But I am using the word passion in the sense of a state of mind, a state of being, a state of your inward core, if there is such a thing, that feels very strongly, that is highly sensitive—sensitive alike to dirt, to squalor, to poverty, and to enormous riches and corruption, to the beauty of a tree, of a bird, to the flow of water, and to a pond that has the evening sky reflected upon it. To feel all this intensely, strongly, is necessary. Because without passion life becomes empty, shallow, and without much meaning. If you cannot see the beauty of a tree and love that tree, if you cannot care for it intensely, you are not living.
