正如山有高亦有低，我們的情緒也有高低起伏。情緒的動態曲線很像一個山脈，高低不一。隨著高漲而來的是低落，為了避免這種負面感覺，我們再次爬上高峰，這就是我們喜歡冒險的原因。從攀登絕嶺冒失去生命的危險，到吵架冒關係破裂的危險，我們對情緒的倚賴造成非常多的意外事故。
然而，情緒只是一個短暫的內部經歷，它能帶來的存在感是非常有限的，不應成為我們追求的目標。人生是一個長期的過程，我們需要不斷學習、成長和創造。因此，那些可能危害生命的事情，我們都應該避免。從我們對確定性和安全感的需求來看，人生不是一場冒險，而是一場避免死亡的遊戲。
在人生旅途中，我們會遇到各種各樣的困難。這些困難並不是冒險的結果，而是必須面對和解決的問題，為的是讓我們變得更加堅強和有智慧。所有行動都有代價，因此，除了那些對生命真正有益的事情，其他都不值得我們去做。一般情況下，如果要以跌進深淵作為代價，那就不值得去攀登高峰。高峰的美妙，只是欲望產生的幻覺，而無底深淵是一種恐懼，用以平衡那些欲望，減少我們將來的後悔。
想像中的美妙或恐懼，都不是生命需要的東西，因此我們必須放下這些追求。生命只需要在寧靜中創造新事物，因此我們好好地活在平原上就足夠了。當然，有時候我們可能需要冒險，例如從災難中拯救生命。在這種情況下，我們應該放下安逸，專注於攀登高峰，並努力讓自己不會掉下深淵。但這種情況應該是例外而不是常態，我們不應該為了追求高峰的美妙而冒險，也不應該因為害怕掉下深淵而放棄挽救生命的機會。
許多人避開了高峰，雖然沒有領略到高峰的險峻，但他們也沒有跌進深淵，並體驗到平靜。情緒的高漲就像險峻的高峰，而低落就像深淵，對生命都是危險的。人生的賽道上比的是避險能力，我們越有意識就越可能獲勝。深刻體驗、細緻歸納和謹慎預測，做好這三件事，就是做好趨吉避凶的準備。明白到人生不是一場冒險，而是享受創造者的樂趣，我們就能更好地欣賞生活，並在平靜中創造出更多美好的事物。

The path to Tranquility (39)
Life is not an adventure
Just as mountains have highs and lows, our emotions also have ups and downs. The dynamic curve of emotions is like a mountain range, with varying heights. After high emotions, we may feel low, and to avoid these negative feelings, we climb back up to the peak, which is why we like adventure. From risking death while climbing a peak to risking a relationship breakdown during an argument, our reliance on emotions can lead to many accidents.
However, emotions are only a temporary internal experience, and the sense of existence they bring is limited and should not be the goal we pursue. Life is a long-term process, and we need to continue to learn, grow and create. Therefore, we should avoid things that may harm our lives. From the perspective of our need for certainty and security, life is not an adventure, but like a game of avoiding death.
In the journey of life, we will encounter various difficulties. These difficulties are not the result of adventure, but rather problems that must be faced and solved, in order to make us stronger and wiser. All actions have a price, so nothing is worth doing except those that are truly beneficial to life. Generally speaking, it's not worth climbing the mountain if the price is to fall into the abyss. The beauty of the peak is just an illusion created by desire, while the abyss is a fear that serves to balance those desires and reduce our future regrets.
The beauty or fear of imagination is not what life needs, so we must let go of these pursuits. Life only needs to create new things in tranquility, so it is enough for us to live well on the plains. Of course, there may be times when we need to take risks, such as saving lives from disasters. In this case, we should let go of comfort, focus on climbing the peak, and work hard to prevent ourselves from falling into the abyss. But this should be the exception rather than the norm, and we should not take risks to pursue the beauty of the peak, nor should we give up the opportunity to save lives because of fear of falling into the abyss.
Many people avoid the peak, and although they have not experienced the steepness of the peak, they have also not fallen into the abyss, and experienced peace. Emotional highs are like steep peaks, and lows are like abysses, both of which are dangerous to life. The competition on the track of life is about risk avoidance, and the more aware we are, the more likely we are to win. Deeply experiencing, carefully summarizing, and cautiously predicting, to do these three things well is to be prepared to seek good luck and avoid disaster. Understanding that life is not an adventure, but rather enjoying the pleasure of being a creator, we can better appreciate life and create more beautiful things in peace.
