《純粹之人與假純粹》附讀后感 True and false simplicity (Francois Fenelon)

Simplicity is an uprightness of soul that has no reference to self. It is different from sincerity, and it is a still higher virtue. We, we many people who are sincere, without being simple; they only wish to pass for what they are, and they are unwilling to appear what they are not; they are always thinking of themselves, measuring their words, and recalling their thoughts, and reviewing their actions, form the fare that they have done too much or too little. These persons are sincere, but they are not simple; they are not at ease with others, and others are not at ease with them; they are not free, ingenious, natural; we prefer people who are less correct, less perfect, and who less artificial. This is the decision of man, and it is the judgement of God, who would not have us so occupied with ourselves, and thus, as it were, always arranging our features in a mirror. Simplicity consists in a just medium, in which we are neither too much excited, nor too composed. The soul is not carried away by outward things, so that it cannot make all necessary reflections, neither does it make those continual reference to self that a jealous sense of its own excellence multiplies to infinity. That freedom of the soul, which looks straight onward in its path, losing no time to reason upon its steps, to study them, or to contemplate those that it has already taken, is true simplicity. 偶然之間看到這段話，非常喜歡，忍不住背誦、抄寫、敲在這里。回想過去，我不是一個純粹的人，卻夢想自己非常簡單純粹。這理想和現實的差距就是努力的動力吧！
