There are two ways to slide easily through life; to believe everything or to doubt everything. Both ways save us from thinking.
--- Alfred Korzybski

mi mi said...: My translation:
"Có 2 cách để dễ dàng trượt qua cuộc đời, đò lsf tin mọi thứ hoặc nghi ngờ mọi thứ. Hai cách này đều cứu chúng ta khỏi việc phải suy nghĩ."; 26/9/09 22:24
Tú Phình said...: I think this quote is very meaningful to me. In my mind, its meaning is similar to Mi's opinion but I see it as two things:
1. Our life is so complicated. Everything always changes everyday. We can't control it. So, there's nothing invarible. Sometimes, it's true but then it can be lie. The key here is that we have to accept it by changing. We must look and feel to consider, then we decide. It's so interesting. It's the reason that tell us why we keep living in this world. Without it, the life is nothing.
2. I wonder if who can live without thinking. Everybody must think about something: "each people, each idea". So, we can't believe or doubt everything. My idea here is that it's never easy to live. Problems always come to us, and we never stop thinking to solve it. So, let's see this life in an optimistic way. No way to slide through it easily, there's one way is passing over the difficulties.
That's all my thought about this quote. Maybe it's not right, but it's my opinion and I expect comments from all of you.
