译文：幸福不可强求，只要能经常保持愉快的心情，就算是追求人生幸福的基础;人间的灾祸难以避免，首先应当能消除怨恨他人的念头，才算是远离灾祸的良策。
《菜根谭》(愉快求福,去怨避祸)
福不可徼，养喜神以为召福之本而已；祸不可避，去杀机以为远祸之方而已。
Man cannot seize happiness; it is only by preserving a happy frame of mind that the essence of happiness can be summoned. Man cannot flee disaster; it is only by eradicating all thoughts of harming others that evils can be kept at bay.
