The Little Prince

Only from these figures do they think they have learned anything about him.

Not every one has had a friend. And if I forget him, I may become like the grown-ups who are no longer interested in anything but figures…


You know - one loves the sunset, when one is so sad …


If some one loves a flower, of which just one single blossom grows in all the millions and millions of stars, it is enough to make him happy just to look at the stars. He can say to himself, ‘Somewhere, my flower is there…’ But if the sheep eats the flower in one moment all his stars will be darkened.

有爱,生活就会充满阳光
爱不是多巴胺,是陪伴与牵挂


‘Then you shall judge yourself!’ the king answered. ‘that is the most difficult thing of all. It is much more difficult to judge oneself than to judge others. If you succeed in judging yourself rightly, then you are indeed a man of true wisdom.’

突然想到耻感文化与罪感文化了

作者是法国人,欧洲基督宗教属于罪感文化,人们心中有一个绝对正确的标杆,因此可以自我评判。其实儒家文化也是,有绝对正确的标准,名为“仁”

而日本文化(至少以前是,菊与刀写于半个多世纪前)属于耻感文化,人们心中没有绝对正确的标杆,因此做的坏事没有被发现时人们就像没做过一样。
而对事情的评判也没有绝对正确与错误,而是在“忠”“孝”“义理”等等不同的圈子里评价行为是否合适,有没有满足这个圈子的要求。而不同圈子之间又可能会发生冲突,即菊与刀中提到的“美德的困境”。


“It would have been better to come back at the same hour,” said fox. “If, for example, you come at four o’clock in the afternoon, then at three o’clock I shall begin to be happy. I shall feel happier and happier as the hour advances. At four o’clock, I shall already be worrying and jumping about. I shall show you how happy I am! But if you come at just any time, I shall never know at what hour my heart is to be ready to greet you … One must observe the proper rites…”


What is essential is invisible to the eye.

寒假最后一天读完了这本书
小王子因为一朵花而爱上整片星空,他的花很脆弱,无法面对整个世界,他却把花留在了他的星球,让它独自面对这个世界。
我因为一群人而爱上一种文化,她们并不是永恒的,我不愿什么也不做。这也是我的动力来源,或许这就是书中提到的 tame。
