The Goodness of Life 生活中的美好
◎ Ralph Marston
Though there is much to be concerned about, there is far, far more for which to be thankful.
Though life’s goodness can at times be overshadowed, it is never outweighed1.
For every single act that is senselessly destructive, there are thousands more small, quiet acts of
love, kindness and compassion2. For every person who seeks to hurt, there are many, many more who

comes shining through.
There is no limit to the goodness of life. It grows more abundant with each new encounter. The
more you experience and appreciate the goodness of life, the more there is to be lived.
Even when the cold winds blow and the world seems to be covered in foggy shadows, the
goodness of life lives on. Open your eyes, open your heart, and you will see that goodness is
everywhere.
Though the goodness of life seems at times to suffer setbacks, it always endures. For in the
darkest moment it becomes vividly5 clear that life is a priceless treasure. And so the goodness of life is
made even stronger by the very things that would oppose it.
Time and time again when you feared it was gone forever you found that the goodness of life
was really only a moment away. Around the next corner, inside every moment, the goodness of life is
there to surprise and delight you.
Take a moment to let the goodness of life touch your spirit and calm your thoughts. Then, share
your good fortune with another. For the goodness of life grows more and more magnificent each time
it is given away.
Though the problems constantly scream for attention and the conflicts appear to rage ever
stronger, the goodness of life grows stronger still, quietly, peacefully, with more purpose and
meaning than ever before.
虽然人生有许多忧虑,但相比而言,值得感激的事要多得多。尽管生命的美好有时被蒙
上阴影,但它却永远不会被埋没。
相对于每一个无畏的破坏行为而言,都有成千上万个更为微小的、包含着爱、友善和仁
慈的举动静静地上演着。相对于每一个试图伤害他人的人而言,都有更多的人去帮助他人,
治愈他人的创伤。
生命的美好不能否认。
在最为壮观的景色里,在最为微小的细节中,请仔细看,因为美好的事物总会像阳光一
样照耀着我们。
生命的美好没有止境。每一次新的相遇都会使这美好更加丰富。你经历得越多,越能欣
赏生命的美好,生命中的美好就会变得越多。
即使寒风来袭,整个世界似乎被浓浓的阴影笼罩,生命的美好仍会存在。睁开双眼,打
开心扉,你会发现这美好无处不在。
尽管生命的美好有时似乎遭受挫折,但它总会挺过来。因为,在最黑暗的时刻,有一点
变得格外清晰:生命是无价之宝。因此,正是与生命的美好相对立的事物使其变得更加强
大。
一次又一次,当你担心这美好已经与你咫尺天涯时,你会发现生命的美好其实就在你的
身边。它就在下一拐角处,存在于每个时刻之间,等待着给你惊喜。
花点时间让生命的美好感动自己的灵魂,放松自己的思绪。然后,把你的幸运与他人分
享。因为生命的美好会在每次给予之间变得越来越壮观。
尽管总是有问题让你去关注,冲突似乎也愈演愈烈,日益加剧,但生命的美好却总是静
静地,平和地,带着比以往更强的意志和更多的价值,变得更加强大。
