万物深处都蕴藏着一种善意；它无处不在，往往出现在我们最意想不到的地方。世界或许残酷无情，但如果我们保持慷慨和耐心，善意终会显现。人类灵魂深处似乎有某种东西依赖于善意的存在；我们本能地期待着它，一旦感受到它，我们便能够信任他人，敞开心扉。在科纳马拉，群山巍峨而幽暗；若无人察觉，它们会营造出一种阴郁的氛围。然而，群山周围和山间却遍布着湖泊。湖面随着周围光线的变化而泛起微妙的色彩晕染。因此，它们的存在为整个景观增添了一份温暖和想象的气息。如果我们感受不到某种至高无上的善意主宰一切，我们就会感到自己像个局外人，四面楚歌，无法真正融入这个世界。
“善良”一词听起来温柔，仿佛在诉说着慈悲之美。当有人善待你时，你会感到被理解、被关注。没有人会评判你，也没有人会对你冷眼相待。善良目光宽广，不带任何私心或竞争，也不求回报。善良触动你内心深处，它意味着，即使你的脆弱暴露在外，也不会被人利用；相反，它反而成为展现尊严和同理心的契机。善良投下一道别样的光芒，如同暮色中的光芒，色彩深邃，充满耐心，足以照亮复杂而丰富的差异。
尽管黑暗笼罩，人类的希望依然源于一种本能：在现实的最深层，某种亲密的善意占据主导。这便是祝福的核心。相信祝福，就是相信我们存在于此，我们身处世间本身，便是最初的恩赐，是原始的祝福。正如里尔克所说：“Hier zu sein ist so viel”（在此存在是如此浩瀚）。没有什么地方比新生婴儿的周身更能感受到无限的寂静。一旦我们来到这个世界，便继承了所有先于我们的一切；我们成为世界的继承人。出生即是被选择。被创造，并来到这个世界，便是被祝福。某种原始的善意选择了我们，引领我们穿越梦境的森林，直至我们得以走出梦境，进入个体的清澈领域，一条通往世界的生命之路在我们面前展开。
“开端往往蕴藏着后续一切的关键。鉴于我们存在的本质，我们心中充满对美、意义、秩序、创造力、同情和爱的渴望也就不足为奇了。我们带着这些渴望来到这个世界，期待着世界会以某种方式回应并印证我们的愿望。我们的渴望深知它无法强求愿望的实现；然而，它本能地期待着那份原始的善意能够回应它。这正是祝福降临的门槛。”

Certainly,
[Hide Full Comment]and for sure, agreed, and, I do have a hard time with the bits about
terse dark mountains, left to themselves, being brooding, etc.... which
is just a bit too human centric for me. Perhaps there is room for all of
it, including the terse brooding....
We
could use more kindness towards all life forms and environs Is it
"kinder" to meditate, etc, and hold space and be calm, or to jump into the
fray, and likely both at once, and it's all an interesting dance of
actions and consequences, and inactions and unintendeded consequences to
witness, and the gravity of it all seems to continually drip down and
get carried up into clouds. . Perhaps I'll go down to the malls today,
and be the first in line waiting for them to close.... Theatre of the
earth.
Here is somethin I wrote a few days ago.

I enjoy and I am inspired by so many of your articles. I appreciate your efforts. However, today I have a question - NOT for posting. Can you tell me who is the photgrapher for the photo of the young man jumping in front of the multi-colored sky? Even if you don't compensate a photographer for their image, I believe it is important to credit photographers and get permission before using their work. It is the image you use for 16 Habits of Highly Effective People. Thank you for your kind assistance. I look forward to hearing from you.
NO act of kindness, however small is ever wasted. HUGS from my heart to yours!
