当我们沉迷于追求物质、金钱或感官享受的时候,灵魂常常会被遗忘在一旁。但是只有纯洁的灵魂才是生命中最大的财富,最好的伙伴,最忠实的爱人。

Actually, we all have 4 wives in our lives. The 4th wife is our body. No matter how much time and effort we lavish in making it look good, it'll leave us when we die. Our 3rd wife is our possessions, status and wealth. When we die, they all go to others. The 2nd wife is our family and friends. No matter how close they have been there for us when we're alive, the furthest they can stay by us is up to the grave. The 1st wife is in fact our soul, often neglected in our pursuit of material, wealth and sensual pleasure. Guess what? It is actually the only thing that follows us wherever we go. Perhaps it is a good idea to cultivate and strengthen it now rather than to wait until we're on our deathbed to lament.
其实,我们每个人的一生都有四位爱人相伴。 小老婆代表我们的躯体。无论我们花费多少的时间和精力想去装扮她,我们死后它终会弃我们而去。 第三位老婆代表财产、地位与金钱。一旦我们撒手西去,它终究会转向他人。 二老婆则代表了我们的家人与朋友。我们活着的时候,无论他们与我们多么亲近,他们最多也只能到墓前送我们最后一程。 至于大老婆,她则是我们的灵魂。当我们沉迷于追求物质、金钱或感官享受的时候,她常常会被遗忘在一旁。 结果呢?她才是唯一与我们永远相伴的。也许从现在开始,我们就应该悉心照顾好她,而不是等到临终之际才悔恨不已。
