台湾籍旅美老师今天交给我们的句子是:
A major obstacle to self-knowledge, and in turn to a flourishing life is the tendency of one part of our minds to lie to the other. We lie for what might initially 1 seem like a very understandable reason, because we want to avoid pain.
阻碍我们认清自我、进而拥有一个多彩多姿的人生的是:在我们内心中,有个部分的自我是会倾向于对另一个部分的自我撒谎。一开始,我们之所以说谎,可能都是出于一个看似非常合乎情理的理由,那就是:因为我们想要逃避痛苦。
