Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowlege, and the unbearable pity for the suffering of mankand.
   I have sought love, first, because it brings great happiness. Next, because it relieves loneliness. I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen the vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what at least I have found.
  With eaqual passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the heart of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine......A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.
   Love and knowledge, can lead us upward towars the heavens. But pity always has bought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Chilsren living in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people, a hates burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockey of what human life should be. I long to allebiate the evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer.
  This has been my life. I have found it worth living. And I would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.

   不敢与罗素相比，可是三年前第一次看到这篇文章时我的眼睛湿了：一直不知道怎么描述对自己生命的感悟，而这些话如此准确的贴近了我的心！我不知道我们的教育应该走向何方，但我相信它应该让我们的心中有the three passions  。当博爱遇到冷漠狭隘，真诚遇到虚伪残酷，求知遇到愚昧迷信，这个错综复杂的可以扭曲灵魂的社会让我们碰了多少壁，受了多少伤，可我们是无悔的，21岁的我思考生命时说下这些话。希望这段生命结束时我仍是这样的说：This has been my life.with thre passions，and I have found it worth living。
