如果你希望过着平静的生活，但是你相信，“生命就是奋斗”，你就会按照你的信仰去奋斗，而不是按照愿望去平静的生活。

If you desire a peaceful life, but you believe, "life's a struggle!" you will create the strife in which you believe, and not the peace you desire.

“I had been looking for my cell phone for three days and would you believe I found it laying on the counter in plain sight?,” Sabin says.

So it's not that the result is going to be that I'm going to try to convince you that death isn't bad, but it takes actually a little bit of work to pin down precisely what is it about death that's bad and how can it be death?

所以，这么说,并不是我试图让你相信死亡不是坏事，但是这的确要花点时间来准确地说清楚,什么让死亡成了坏事，和怎样才算死亡？
