我发现，理解自然和进化的规律，在很多方面对我有好处。最重要的是，这会帮助我更有效地应对自己遇到的现实，做出艰难的抉择。当我开始从理解现实规律的视角看待现实，而不是认为现实不对时，我发现几乎所有起初看起来“不好”的东西，如雨天、缺点甚至死亡，都是由于我对于自己想要拥有的东西持有先入为主之见。我逐渐意识到，我产生这些最初的反应，是因为我没有把事物放到大背景下看待，即现实的构造是让整体实现最优，而不是尽力实现我的愿望。
I have found understanding how nature and evolution work helpful in a number of ways. Most importantly, it has helped me deal with my realities more effectively and make difficult choices.When I began to look at reality through the perspective of figuring out how it really works, instead of thinking things should be different, I realized that most everything that at first seemed “bad” to me—like rainy days, weaknesses, and even death—was because I held preconceived notions of what I personally wanted. With time, I learned that my initial reaction was because I hadn’t put whatever I was reacting to in the context of the fact that reality is built to optimize for the whole rather than for me.
