THERE IS A PLEASURE in philosophy, and a lure even in the mirages of metaphysics, which every student feels until the coarse necessities of physical existence drag him from the heights of thought into the mart of economic strife and gain.
Most of us have known some golden days in the June of life when philosophy was in fact what Plato calls it," that dear delight"; when the love of a modestly elusive Truth seemed more glorious, imcomparably, than the lust of the ways of the flesh and the dross of the world.
And there is always some wistful remnentin us of that early wooing of wisdom.
"Life has meaning," we feel with Browning--"to find its meaning is my meat and drink."
So much of our lives is meaningless, a self-cancelling vacillation and futility; we strive with the chaos about us and within; but we would believe all the while that there is something vital and significant in us, could we but decipher our own souls.
We want to understand; "life means for us constantly to transform into light and flame all that we are or meet with"; we are like Mitya in The Brothers Karamazov—"one of those who don't want millions, but an answer to their questions"; we want to seize the value and perspective of passing things, and so to pull ourselves up out of the maelstrom of daily circumstance.
We want to know that the little things are little, and the big things big, before it is too late.

有点难，希望自己能坚持啃下来， 好在有老师句读讲解！ 烂尾了,感觉每周都很累很累...... 有时候想,如果人生可以重来,那么想回到什么时候呢? 如果人生可以暂停就好了,睡长长一大觉,然后起来看看历史,继续多好,哈哈哈 人生感悟: 以前总觉得宁愿说了后悔,也要讲出来, 现在有点明白, 为什么那么多人说着别人想听的假话了 每天被她气哭......
