It's perfectly natural to hold shallow thoughts. However, this becomes unnatural when this is all a person has to fill their life. By offering more and caring about the truly important matters in life, you will get so much more in return.

    There is absolutely nothing wrong with getting excited about the smaller things in life. If waiting for your monthly magazine subscription or looking forward to your favourite television programme puts a smile on your face, then that's a good thing. What's not so great is when deeply shallow people don't have anything more to offer. They also have nothing more to gain.

    Take a leaf out of Craig Busch and Karen Grey Brook's book. They run Zion Wildlife Garden's in New Zealand, a renowned sanctuary for big cat's. Both are unbelievably inspirational and highly dedicated individuals who, for four years lived in one bedroom ex-quarantine facility in the park. They are a publicly funded organisation which allows them to preserve such a remarkable species. No doubt they enjoy the simple things in life but that's ok because they possess such a giving nature that the rewards themselves reap the benefits.

    Those who hold no significant meaning or value just simply end up coasting through life. Some may feel fine with this but those who constantly feel empty won't achieve fulfilment unless they do something about it. There are many ways in which we can all make a difference, even if it isn't something on a grand scale. Some times in life, the best things are the simple things.

    Making a difference doesn't necessarily mean having to spend a lot of money or give up too much valuable free time, maybe even none at all. Find something that you feel passionate about and persevere with it. Trust me, it will make your life seem full. There isn't really such a thing as a selfless act but that's ok. Just by carrying out a good deed, it's still a good deed even if it makes you feel good about yourself. In my opinion, it's even better because not only do you help someone else but you help yourself too and there's nothing wrong with that.

    If everyone in the world only cared about superficial things such as designer labels, fancy cars, posh houses, etc, it would be a very selfish and uncaring society. Yet if a person was to also care about deeper things in life such as poverty, child and animal cruelty, homelessness, etc, then it would make caring about shallow things seem less insignificant.

    So, start by donating some of those superficial possessions to charity, volunteer at a shelter, help those less fortunate because if the shoe was on the other foot, wouldn't you want to live in a more caring society and be helped by those luckier than yourself?

    撐握一般的思想是極其自然的。然而，當一個人用整個生命去做這的時候，就變得反常了。在生活中多點奉獻和關(guān)心真正重要的事，你將得到的回報也更多。

    在生活中為更小的事情而興奮絕對沒有錯。如果滿帶笑容地等待訂閱的月刊，或者期待著最喜愛的電視節(jié)目，這是一件愉快的事。十分淺薄的人沒有為任何事情做出奉獻時，就不是這么偉大了。他們也得不到任何東西。

    從Craig Busch 和Karen Grey Brook合著的書中取出一片葉子。他們經(jīng)營著新西蘭錫安野生動植物園，一個飼養(yǎng)著大型貓科動物的著名圣地。他們在野生動植物園的臥室（前檢疫設(shè)施）生活了四年，他們是具有難以相信的靈感和強烈獻身精神的個體。他們是一個充許他們保護這一異常的物種的公共資助的組織。毫無疑問他們喜歡生活中簡單的事情，但是這很好，因為他們?nèi)绱顺两�在給予自然界的工作中，以至于他們也獲得了收益。

    沒有撐握生命重大意義或價值的這些人只能簡單而順利地結(jié)束生命。一些人可能因為這樣而感覺很好，但是經(jīng)常感覺生活空虛的這些人除非做一些事，否則將沒有成就感。即使生命中有些事情沒有隆重規(guī)模，我們創(chuàng)造不同也有很多方法。在生命中，有時最好的事就是簡單的事。

    創(chuàng)造不同不一定就意味著必需發(fā)費大量的金錢或放棄太多寶貴的空閑時間，甚至可能根本不做什么。發(fā)現(xiàn)你感興趣和為這而努力奮斗的事。相信我，這將將讓你的生命看起來充實。真正沒有自私的行為這件事，但這很好。即使你實現(xiàn)一種良好行為讓你自我感覺良好，這也是一種良好行為。依我看來，這比以前更好，因為你不公幫助了別人，也幫助了你自己且做錯了也沒什么。

    如果世界上的每一個人只關(guān)心帶有設(shè)計者標簽的商品，高檔汽車，豪宅等表面的東西，這將是非常自私和不關(guān)心社會的行為。但是如果一個也能夠關(guān)心窮人，兒童和虐畜罪等這些生活中的較深的事情，這會比關(guān)心膚淺的東西要有意義得多。

    所以，從捐贈一些膚淺的財產(chǎn)給慈善機關(guān)和在,避難所的志愿者開始吧！幫助這些不太幸運的人，讓其它的人要是穿了鞋子, 難道你不想生活在一個擁有更多關(guān)愛的社會和得到比你幸運的這些人的幫助嗎？
