必须冒着心碎的风险 must risk your heart

 


生活会击垮你。没有人能保护你免受这种伤害,孤独也不能,因为孤独也会用它的渴望击垮你。你必须去爱。你必须去感受。这就是你来到这个世界上的原因。你必须冒着心碎的风险。你来到这里就是为了被吞噬。当你被击垮、被背叛、被抛弃、被伤害或死亡离你太近时,让自己坐在一棵苹果树旁,听着苹果在你周围成堆地掉落,浪费它们的甜味。告诉自己,你已经尝了尽可能多的苹果。~路易斯·厄德里奇 

(书:《彩绘鼓》

 https://amzn.to/47ojLIx)Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and being alone won't either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You have to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes too near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself that you tasted as many as you could. ~Louise Erdrich
