The man who is aware of himself is henceforth（今后） independent（独立的）; and he is never bored, and life is onlytoo short, and he is steeped through and through with profound（极度的） yet temperate（适度的）happiness. He alone lives, while other people, slaves of ceremony（礼节）, let life slip past time in a kind of dream. Once conform（循规蹈矩）, once do what other people do finer than they do it, and a lethargy（倦怠，呆滞） steals over all the finer nerves and faculties（能力） of the soul, He becomes all outer show and inward emptiness（空虚的，空洞的）; dull,callous, and indifferent（冷漠）.
