Love Your Life
(2007-01-18 12:53:23)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.
