Suffering is not caused by ill fortune ,or by divine whims . Rather , suffering is caused by the behaviour patterns of one's own mind.
一切苦难并非来自噩运、社会不公或是神祗的任性，而是出于每个人自己心中的思想模式。

《人类简史》

To grow and multiply it is necessary to plant the wheat grain in the darkness of the earth and my failures, my despairs, my ignorance, and my inabilities are the darkness in which I have been planted in order to ripen.Now,like the wheat grain which will sprout and blossom only if it is nurtured with rain and sun and warm winds, I, too, must nurture my body and mind to fulfill my dreams too. But to grow to full stature the wheat must wait on the whims od nature. I need not wait for I have the power to choose my own destiny.

【#美媒指特朗普政府窃取记者通话记录# 这并非美国首次监控记者】《华盛顿邮报》7日报道，美国前总统特朗普执政期间，司法部秘密获取该报三名记者的电话记录。当时，这三名记者正在调查俄罗斯在2016年美国大选中所扮演的角色。据《华盛顿邮报》，美国司法部通过秘密传票形式，获取了这些记者从2017年4月以来三个半月的工作、家庭手机号码及相关记录和邮件记录。但这并非美国政府首次监控记者，2013年，美国司法部以同样的方式监控了美联社的记者，美联社指出司法部此举严重侵犯记者权利，抗议“史无前例的大规模侵扰”。美国民权联盟表示，“政府随心所欲暗中监视”记者，威胁新闻自由。The U.S. Justice Department under the Trump administration secretly obtained journalists' phone records and email records over their reporting on Russia's role in the 2016 presidential elections, according to The Washington Post. "It is not the first time the U.S. government gains access to journalists' records in this way," the BBC said, noting it had spied on reporters working for the Associated Press in 2013. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) said the Justice Department spied on journalists "at the whims of an administration." "It jeopardizes freedom of the press," it said.
