我們該何去何從?Walking by Thoreau

我們該何去何從,有的時候竟然難以決定,癥結究竟出在哪裡?

依我看,自然有一個微妙的磁場,如果我們任其作用,它自會引導我們走對的路。

對每個人來說,自己該走哪一條路當然不是兒戲。問題是,對的道路本來就有,我們卻總是因為疏忽和愚蠢而選擇了錯的。這個真實世界本來就象徵著理想的道路,是我們旅行內心理想世界所喜歡行走的,而我們卻不屑一顧,只顧走自己的路。

What is it that makes it so hard sometimes to determine whither we will walk?

I believe that there is a subtle magnetism in Nature, which if we unconsciously yield to it, will direct us alright. It is not indifferent to us which way we walk. There is a right way; but we are very liable from heedlessness and stupidity to take the wrong one. We would fain take that walk, never yet taken by us through this actual world, which is perfectly symbolical of the path which we love to travel in the interior and ideal world; and sometimes, no doubt, we find it difficult to choose our direction , because it does not yet exist distinctly in our idea.
