柳宗元有一篇文章叫《蝜蝂传》。

Liu Zongyuan has an article called "Biographies of the Ancestors".

蝜蝂是一种喜欢背东西的小虫子，它在爬行时，无论遇到什么，都会抓取过来背在身上。渐渐地，它背上的东西越来越多，即使自己已经筋疲力尽了，也不肯停下。Biography is a small bug that likes to carry things. When it crawls, no matter what it encounters, it will grab it and carry it on its body. Gradually, it carried more and more things on its back, and even though it was exhausted, it refused to stop.

最终，它被身上的重担给活活压死了。

In the end, it was crushed alive by the weight on its body.

周国平说：一个人只要肯约束自己的欲望，满足于过比较简单的生活，生命的疆域会更加宽阔。

生活的本质，本就是删繁就简存真，内心丰盈充实，就是过活好一生的精神食粮。

The essence of life is to simplify complexity and preserve truth, with a rich and fulfilling heart, which is the spiritual nourishment for living a good life.
