爱比克泰德：论说集与手册·摘录 2

HOW A MAN ON EVERY OCCASION CAN MAINTAIN HIS PROPER CHARACTER.—To the rational animal only is the irrational intolerable; but that which is rational is tolerable. Blows are not naturally intolerable. How is that? See how the Lacedaemonians endure whipping when they have learned that whipping is consistent with reason. To hang yourself is not intolerable. When then you have the opinion that it is rational, you go and hang yourself. In short, if we observe, we shall find that the animal man is pained by nothing so much as by that which is irrational; and, on the contrary, attracted to nothing so much as to that which is rational.

白话
人只对不合理的事感到难以忍受，对合理的事则能接受。挨打本身并不天然不可忍，斯巴达人学会视鞭打为合理，便能忍受。上吊也非不可忍，一旦认为合理，人就会去做。所以，痛苦多源于觉得事情不合理；若能用理性审视，把看似不合理的事纳入合理框架，就能保持本色，不被情绪左右。
上下文
爱比克泰德是古罗马斯多葛派哲学家，主张用理性判断控制情绪，保持内心自由。
