Threepassions(*),simplebutverystrong,havegovernedmylif...

Three passions(*), simple But very strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me in many different directions, in a wayward course, over a deep ocean of pain, reaching to the very verge(边缘) of despair(绝望).      I have sought love, first, because it brings happiness---happiness so great that I would often have sacrificed(牺牲) all the rest of my life for a few hours for this joy. I have sought it, next, because it removes loneliness---that terrible loneliness in which one shaking consciousness(意识) looks over the edge of the world into the cold unknown lifeless hole. I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, the picture of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what---at last---I have found.     With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to understand the Pythagorean power by which number controls the continuous change. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.     Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always it brought me back to earth. Reflecting of sound of cries of pain is repeated in my heart. Children in famine, victims hurt badly by oppressors(*者), helpless old people a hated load to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain laugh at what human life should be. I long to reduce the evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer.     This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.  32.  According the passage, it is very clear that ____________.
