雨水冲刷大地，泪水洗涤灵魂｜ 赛斯智语

眼泪没有什么丢脸的。现在，再把泪水想象成乌云密布时从天而降的雨水一样自然。雨水能使大地焕然一新，而当压抑的情绪被释放，得以遵循其自然之道时，泪水也能使灵魂焕然一新。那么，抑郁的确会在泪水中流走，灵魂也会重新焕发活力。灵魂不会 "怀恨在心"。当你怀恨在心的时候，你就像一小片愤怒的乌云，说：“我要抓住这团湿气，我绝不放手！” 但云更明白事理，可以很容易就清空内容，让雨水洗净大地。泪水也能洗净你心灵的大地。而用这样的方式，压抑会自然而然地消失，并让“快乐的太阳照耀”——请原谅我说了一句陈词滥调。不然的话，乌云就会越来越黑，越来越黑，直到看不见太阳，直到太阳被偶尔瞥见时，看起来似乎是不对劲、不合理的，更不会出现在这样的黑暗景象中。于是你企图把它藏起来。

There is nothing degrading in tears. Think of them, again, now, as being as natural as rain that falls out of the sky when the clouds are full. The rain refreshes the ground and tears can refresh the soul when depressions are freed to follow their natural course. Then, indeed, they flow away in tears and the soul is refreshed. It does not “hold onto its grudges”. When you hold a grudge, you are like some angry, little black cloud that says: I will hold onto this moisture, and I will never let it go!” But clouds have better sense, and so easily they empty their contents and the rain refreshes the land. So can tears refresh the land of your psyche. And used in such a manner depressions fall away naturally and allow, if you will forgive me for a trite phrase, “the sun of joy to shine.” Otherwise, the cloud becomes blacker, and blacker and blacker until the sun cannot be seen, and until the sun, when glimpsed, seems wrong, out of context, and does not appear in such a dark landscape. And so you try to hide it.

如果你不信任自己的情绪，你就无法再信任自己的快乐。而如果你试图隐藏你的恐惧，你就会自动隐藏你的快乐。一旦你开始压抑情绪，这种做法就会像瘟疫一样蔓延开来，直到所有的情绪都必须被压抑，以免你害怕的某个东西露面。

If you do not trust your emotions, then you can no longer trust your joy. And if you try to hide your fear, then, you automatically hide your joy. Once you begin to inhibit emotions, the practice spreads like a plague, until all emotion must be inhibited, lest the one thing that you fear show its face.
