Because we adapt. And it's a good thing when it comes to the negatives. It's not such a good thing when we take life for granted.
因为我们适应了。在处理消极的事情时，适应性是好事，但当我们对生活习以为常时就不是好事了
And the question we need to ask is: is it possible to have it all?
我们需要问的一个问题是：能不能做到两全其美?
Is it possible to adapt to the negatives, but at the same time, not to adapt as much to the positive.
能不能适应消极的同时，不对积极的东西习以为常
There's a story in the Jewish tradition about a man who is living in one of the shtetls, one of the villages in Eastern Europe.
有一个犹太传统故事里讲到一个男人住在一个犹太小村里，东欧的一个犹太小村
And he really had it bad. I mean he was living in a tiny home with many kids, with a wife who was constantly nagging him. They were constantly fighting.
他过得很苦。他住在一间小房子里，家里有很多孩子，他妻子整天在耳边唠叨，他们不停地吵架
And they were really terrible.
生活得太糟糕了
And that man wanted to improve his law so he went to the rabbi and recounted him how terrible his life is. He said "look. We live in a small home. The kids are all over.
那个男人想改善他的生活，所以他去找拉比，把他的情况告诉他，他说"我们活在小房子里，挤满了孩子"
You know no privacy whatsoever. My wife nags constantly. Rabbi, help!"
"没有隐私，我妻子整天在唠叨，拉比，帮帮我"
So the rabbi said, "in your yard, do you have a chicken?"
拉比说"你后院有鸡吗?"
So he said, "yes, we have chicken."
他说"有"
"For the next week, bring the chicken into your home."
"下周，把鸡带进屋里"
"But rabbi, what are you talking about? We have no pla..."
"拉比，你在说什么?我们没有地方..."
"Bring the chicken into your home."
"把鸡带进屋里"
The person was a devout man, believing his rabbi, brought the chicken for the whole week in their home.
男人很虔城，信任他的拉比，一整周都把鸡放在屋里
Feathers. Dirt. Stinks. You name it. The kids coutinue to fight even more. His wife nags even more. "what are you doing to us here? Our house is small as it is."
鸡毛，鸡粪，臭味，什么问题都有，孩子们吵得更凶了，他妻子更唠叨了，"你为什么要这样对我们?房子本来就够小了"
