Joy and Sorrow
In our life, joy and sorrow are like shadows that follow and accompany us. Sometimes we are in joy. Sometimes we are in sorrow. At times we cannot tell joy from sorrow.
What is joy? In the eternal nature, joy is a driving power, which pushes the world forward. A joyful person has a sound mind and lives a harmonious life. He takes part in beneficial aetlvtties and shares the joy with bis partners in the canse. It can be said that the joyful person is satisfied from being kind to others.
Sorrow is often self-sought. The desire for power adds to one's sorrow. The desire for power goes parallel with the desire for fame. When the desire for power and fame is out of balance with reality, it becomes the root of sorrow.
Besides, envy, revenge and vanity are also the source of sorrow. The three evils exist in man's imagination. People suffer from them unsconscionsly. To be happy one must get rid of sorrow led by desire and imagination.
欢乐与忧伤
生活中，苦和乐就像影子一样伴随着我们。我们有时快乐，有时痛苦，有时还说不出是苦还是乐。
什么是乐?在永恒的自然中，快乐是动力，它能推动世界前进。愉快的人头脑健全，生活和谐。他从事有益的活动，在事业中和伙伴们分享快乐。可以说，一个愉快的人可从善待别人中得到满足。
苦是自找的。权欲增添人的痛苦。追求权利和追求名利是并行的。当追求名利的欲望与现实失衡时，就会成为痛苦的根源。
此外，忌妒、报复心和虚荣心也是痛苦的根源。这三个恶魔在人们的想像中存在。人们无意识地由此受到痛苦。所以，要快乐就必须排除欲望和想像所导致的痛苦。
