Love Your Life

However mean your
life is, meet it and live it，do not shun it and call it hard names.
It is not so bad as you are. It looks poorest when you are richest.
The fault-finder will find faults in paradise. Love your life, poor as
it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours,
even in a poor-house. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of
the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode; the snow
melts before its door as early in the spring. I do not see but a quiet
mind may live as contentedly there, and have as cheering thoughts, as
in a palace. The town's poor seem to me often to live the most
independent lives of any. May be they are simply great enough to
receive without misgiving. Most think that they are above being
supported by the town; but it often happens that they are not above
supporting themselves by dishonest means, which should be more
disreputable. Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage. Do not
trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends,
Turn the old, return to them. Things do not change; we change. Sell
your clothes and keep your thoughts. |
