nonessentials

Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is a nobler art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of nonessentials.

了有高贵艺术将做好以外，还有高贵艺术不将做完成。生命智慧包含将不紧。

By becoming involved with tangential issues, it hopes to hide the real question and keep it out of mind.The ego's characteristic busyness with nonessentials is for precisely that purpose.

所以老在无关紧问题上搅和，乃是希望借此避开真正问题，将驱逐于心灵外。
