爱比克泰德:论说集与手册·摘录 68

爱比克泰德《论说集与手册》· Discourses and Enchiridion · 健康 · 行动 · 认知 · 决策

What then? would you have me to be despised?—By whom? by those who know you? and how shall those who know you despise a man who is gentle and modest? Perhaps you mean by those who do not know you? What is that to you? For no other artisan cares for the opinion of those who know not his art. But they will be more hostile to me for this reason. Why do you say “me”? Can any man injure your will, or prevent you from using in a natural way the appearances which are presented to you? In no way can he. Why then are you still disturbed and why do you choose to show yourself afraid? And why do you not come forth and proclaim that you are at peace with all men whatever they may do, and laugh at those chiefly who think that they can harm you? These slaves, you can say, know not either who I am, nor where lies my good or my evil, because they have no access to the things which are mine.

白话

有人怕被人看不起,爱比克泰德反问:谁看不起你?认识你的人不会,因为你的温和谦逊只会赢得尊重;不认识你的人怎么看,跟你有什么关系?就像工匠不在乎外行评价他的手艺。真正能伤害你的,只有你自己的意志,别人无法强迫你违背本心。所以不必表现出害怕,反而可以坦然宣告:我与所有人和平相处,无论他们做什么,我都不会受伤。那些以为能伤害你的人,其实根本不懂你的好与坏在哪里,因为他们触及不到属于你的东西。

上下文
