亨利·戴维·梭罗:瓦尔登湖·摘录 32
亨利·戴维·梭罗《瓦尔登湖》· Walden · 健康 · 认知 · 人性
There is a certain class of unbelievers who sometimes ask me such questions as, if I think that I can live on vegetable food alone; and to strike at the root of the matter at once,—for the root is faith,—I am accustomed to answer such, that I can live on board nails. If they cannot understand that, they cannot understand much that I have to say. For my part, I am glad to hear of experiments of this kind being tried; as that a young man tried for a fortnight to live on hard, raw corn on the ear, using his teeth for all mortar. The squirrel tribe tried the same and succeeded. The human race is interested in these experiments, though a few old women who are incapacitated for them, or who own their thirds in mills, may be alarmed.

白话
梭罗相信人靠简单食物甚至更少也能活,关键不在营养学,而在信心。有人问他能否只吃蔬菜,他干脆答:我能靠吃铁钉活。这不是抬杠,而是说:若对方连这种可能性都不肯设想,那后面的话也听不进去。他乐见有人做实验,比如小伙子嚼了两周生玉米,松鼠也这么干且成功了。这类尝试对人类有启发,只有那些做不了实验或守着磨坊利益的老妇人才会惊慌。今天可做的,是挑一件你认定“必须靠复杂条件才能维持”的事,用最小成本试两周,看是真需要,还是习惯和恐惧在撑。
上下文
梭罗《瓦尔登湖》中“经济篇”部分,他住在瓦尔登湖边,主张简化生活,减少不必要的消费和劳作。

你生活里哪件事,其实可以先用最小成本试两周,而不是先认定自己做不到?
