It put me upon reflecting , how little repining there would be among mankind , at any condition of life , if people would rather compare their condition with those that are worse , in order to be thankful , than be always comparing them with those which are better , to assist their murmurings and complainings 这又使我进行了一番反剩我想,如果大家能把自己的处境与处境更糟的人相比,而不是与处境较好的人相比,就会对上帝感恩戴德,而不会嘟嘟,怨天尤人了。如果能做到这样,不论处于何种境况,人们的怨言就会少多了。
