“Wishing for or desiring something is futile without an inner compulsion to achieve it. Such lack of compulsion, if not frankly acknowledged, can lead to great personal unhappiness. We have all met deeply unhappy souls muddling along in professions or careers for which they are patently unsuited. Worse still, by continually wishing and never delivering, you risk denting your confidence, beginning a vicious downward spiral that appears to draw misfortune like a magnet. The assumption that you might be able to achieve some goal if you only wished hard enough is not just a f***-up. It’s a potential personal tragedy.”

“如果没有实现某件事的内在冲动，对它的愿望或渴望是徒劳的。这种缺乏冲动，如果不坦率地承认，可能会导致巨大的个人不快乐。我们都遇到过非常不快乐的人，他们在显然不适合的职业或事业中混日子。更糟糕的是，如果不断地希望而从不实现，你就有可能削弱你的信心，开始一个恶性循环，就像磁铁一样引来不幸。如果你只希望足够努力，你可能会实现某个目标，这种假设不仅仅是一种骗局。这是一场潜在的个人悲剧。”

What he was doing—indeed, his whole life—now seemed to him completely futile. He rode through the empty land without hope of anything, simply going on because he had to do something. As he went farther and farther onto the plains, he ceased to be able to imagine Fort Smith as a place where he might ever live and work again. What would he do if he did go back? Sit in the jail where he had worked with Roscoe? Or in the cabin where he had lived with Elmira?

There was no poison on the rag and there was no intent to kill and any attempt to prove otherwise is futile because it just ain't true.
