生命就是小甜饼:
5 V7 Z! ]6 [$ ?" e- P, f" QOne of my patients, a successful businessman, tells me that before his cancer he would become depressed unless things went a certain way. Happiness was "having the cookie." If you had the cookie, things were good.

3 h& m4 ~! n* A) I# P/ K6 g, b; U, {
If you didn't have the cookie, life wasn't worth a damn. Unfortunately, the cookie kept changing.

Some of the time it was money, sometimes power, sometimes sex. At other times, it was the new car, the biggest contract, the most prestigious address.

不幸的是,小甜饼总是不断变换着,有时是金钱,有时是权力,有时是欲望。在其他时候,它是一辆新车、一份数额最大的合同、或者一个享有声望的通讯地址。% L& S8 w# C8 D- `. h

生命。生命,无论如何你拥有生命。有小甜饼也罢,没有小甜饼也罢,幸福与小甜饼并非息息相关,而是与生命的存在有关。可是,时光一去不复返,谁又能让时光倒流呢?”他停顿了一下,若有所思,说:“该死,我觉得生命就是那块小甜饼”。* ]  B& f- R  |8 R# Q
