我觉得自己像个孩子,在树林里找到了一条美妙的踪迹。无数其他人已经去过并刺穿了这条小径,但是对孩子来说,它是新鲜和新鲜的,好像从未走过一样。这个孩子总是渴望其他人参加大冒险。这只能通过实际的经验来理解。那些开始旅程的人,当然还有那些比我走得更远的人会很容易理解我在说什么。
(I feel like a child who has found a wonderful trail in the woods. Countless others have gone before and blazed the trail, but to the child it's as new and fresh as if it had never been walked before. The child is invariably anxious for others to join in the great adventure. It's something that can only be understood by actual experience. Those who've begun the journey, and certainly those who've gone further than I, will readily understand what I am saying.)
在兰迪·阿尔科恩(Randy Alcorn)的书《金钱,财产和永恒》的引用中,作者比较了发现新的童年探索和兴奋的新途径的经历。他对其他人以前如何走过这条路表达了一种惊奇的感觉,但对他来说,这完全是新鲜和新颖的。这种观点反映了一个邀请他人分享冒险的孩子的纯真和渴望,强调了新经历的喜悦。
Alcorn强调,对这一旅程的真正理解来自个人经验。那些踏上这条道路的人会深深地引起他的情感,这意味着在亲身生活时,通常最好地赞赏冒险的本质。这提出了这样一个想法,即通过共同的经验和集体探索,生活的旅程及其提供的教训变得更加丰富。
