The ancient poet Tao Yuanming once described contentment as, "The body has a reserve of labor, the heart has frequent leisure." Today, people are too busy trying to maintain the minimum requirements for their physical existences to have that kind of relaxed, merry perspective on life. I'm afraid few people indeed are able to address the real world with a "heart of frequent leisure."
陶靖節先生所說：「身有餘勞，心有常閒」的那種從容順欲的生命觀，現代人單是為了維持物質生活最起碼的需索，恐怕很少有人能真正持著「心有常閒」的態度來面對真實的世界。
