詹姆斯·艾伦:思考的人·摘录 14

詹姆斯·艾伦《思考的人》· As a Man Thinketh · 健康

Men do not attract that which they _want,_ but that which they _are._ Their whims, fancies, and ambitions are thwarted at every step, but their inmost thoughts and desires are fed with their own food, be it foul or clean. The "divinity that shapes our ends" is in ourselves; it is our very self. Only himself manacles man: thought and action are the gaolers of Fate--they imprison, being base; they are also the angels of Freedom--they liberate, being noble. Not what he wishes and prays for does a man get, but what he justly earns. His wishes and prayers are only gratified and answered when they harmonize with his thoughts and actions.

白话

人吸引来的不是他“想要”的东西,而是他“是”的东西。一时的怪念头、幻想和野心常常处处碰壁,但内心深处的思想和欲望,不管干净还是肮脏,都会得到相应的喂养。决定我们结局的那点“神性”就在自己身上,就是我们自己。只有人自己能给人上镣铐:卑劣的思想和行为是命运的狱卒,把人关起来;高尚的思想和行为是自由的天使,把人放出来。人得到的不是他空想和祈求的,而是他正当挣来的。愿望和祈祷只有和思想、行动一致时,才会被满足和回应。

上下文

同上书,核心讲“思想与行动一致才有效”。作者用狱卒和天使比喻思想的力量。
