"我们生活中的改变必须来自于按照我们良心的要求生活的不可避免性,而不是来自于我们在心里面决定尝试一种新生活方式的决心。"
— Leo Tolstoy
Simplified Meaning:
We should make changes in our lives because we feel deep inside that it's the right thing to do, not just because we decided to try something new. Imagine a person who sees their friend being bullied. They feel they must step in because their sense of right and wrong tells them they can't ignore it. This is very different from someone who wakes up one day and decides to be brave just for the sake of being brave. When we follow what we believe is morally right, our actions come from a genuine place, leading to more meaningful and lasting changes. So, in our everyday lives, we should listen to our inner voice and values when making decisions, rather than just making changes on a whim or for the sake of trying something different.
