WHAT I HAVE LIVED FOR?

-- Bertrand Russel

Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the

suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.

I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy—ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought for it, because it relieves loneliness—that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what –at last—I have found.

With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.

Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a hated burden to their sons, and the whole world of

loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, ad I too suffer.

This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.

我为什么而活？

-- 罗素

三种单纯而强烈的激情支配了我的一生：对爱情的渴望，对知识的追求，对人类苦难的深切同情。这些激情象阵阵飓风，反复无常地将我卷袭东西，带向深痛的
