fatalism 宿命論

fatalism
繁:宿命論
简:宿命论

我覺得孟子的重點在於後面的「動心忍性,增益其所不能。」,這麼說吧,如果逆境處久了、麻痺了,覺得反正逆境是不可違逆的(宿命論),就逆來順受吧,那麼不見得會有動心忍性增益其所不能這回事;可是如果個性是積極的,就會在逆境中有所體悟、有所修煉,所以才能夠動心忍性增益其所不能。

With terror attacks hitting not just France, but also Belgium, Britain and Germany, potential travelers show a kind of fatalism, said Josette Sicsic, head of Touriscopie, a firm that tracks tourist behavior.
