- a messenger from the eternal throne, between a guide and a seducer?" "I judge by your countenance, sir, which was troubled when you said the suggestion had returned upon you: I feel sure it will work you more misery if you listen to it." "Not at all: it bears the most gracious message in the world: for the rest, you are not my conscience-keeper, so don't make yourself uneasy: here, come in, bonny wanderer." He said this as if he spoke to a vision, viewless to any eye but his own: then, folding his arms, which he had half extended on his chest, he seemed to enclose in their embrace the invisible being.

- These protests caused death, destruction, and misery, but they also provided the impetus for collective decision making that set the stage for the world to go through a period of growth and our collective prosperity unparalleled in human history.

ベトナム戦争は、米国とその同盟国内のこうした抗議運動によって委縮し、1975年まで殺戮が続いたため、戦争の規模が縮小するのに長い時間を要したが、私たちが経験した最後の巨大戦争となった。それ以降も多くのひどい紛争があったが、世界は1915年から1975年まで人類を悩ませた大規模な紛争をほとんど避けてきた。

人生は幸せであることではない (Life is Not About Being Happy)
- And judged on this basis, many of us have to admit, in the silence of our minds, that we're not really doing very well. There's so much that every year, and perhaps almost every day, comes along to spoil our ambitions. There's a power struggle at the office, there's a problem in our families, our friends feel superficial or disengaged, our anxieties don't abate and our relationships are scratchy or distant. Our difficulties generate a basic layer of misery, but then a secondary layer is swiftly added to it, caused by an underlying sense that our unhappiness represents a fundamental violation of life's true purpose. Not only are we unhappy, we are unhappy that we are unhappy, in the light of our tightly held belief in the possibility of a state of enduring satisfaction. We're both sad and crushed that we have failed at the single most important goal open to all sane and ambitious humans.
その上で判断すると、私たちの多くは、心の静寂の中で、自分たちがあまりうまくいっていないことを認めざるを得ない。毎年、いやほとんど毎日、私たちの野心を台無しにするようなことがたくさんある。オフィスでの権力闘争、家庭内の問題、友人たちの表面的な感情や無関心、不安はおさまらず、人間関係は傷ついたり離れたりする。私たちの困難は、基本的な不幸の層を生み出すが、不幸は人生の真の目的に対する根本的な違反であるという感覚が根底にあるため、それに二次的な層がすぐに加わる。私たちは不幸であるだけでなく、永続的な満足の可能性を
- It's in such moments of knotted misery that we may gain some relief from reframing our situation. While we may not be able to overcome our burdens themselves, it does lie in our power to alter what these burdens have to mean to us. We may not have to take them as proof of our stupidity or ill-adjustment. They can be signs that we're destined to have interesting lives rather than calm ones, lives marked by a high degree of exploration, psychological understanding and striving rather than settled certainty and equilibrium, what we lack in terms of contentment we may make up for in terms of insight and experience.
そのような結びつきの強い惨めな時にこそ、状況を捉え直すことで救われることがある。重荷そのものを克服することはできないかもしれないが、その重荷が自分にとって何を意味するのかを変えることはできる。重荷を自分の愚かさや不適応の証拠とみなす必要はない。重荷は、私たちが平穏な人生ではなく、興味深い人生を歩む運命にあることを示すサインであったり、定まった確信や平衡ではなく、高度な探究心や心理的理解、努力によって特徴づけられる人生であったりする。
