爱比克泰德:论说集与手册·摘录 71

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

What then? is it possible to be free from faults (if you do all this)? It is not possible; but this is possible, to direct your efforts incessantly to being faultless. For we must be content if by never remitting this attention we shall escape at least a few errors. But now when you have said, Tomorrow I will begin to attend, you must be told that you are saying this, Today I will be shameless, disregardful of time and place, mean; it will be in the power of others to give me pain; today I will be passionate and envious. See how many evil things you are permitting yourself to do. If it is good to use attention tomorrow, how much better is it to do so today? if tomorrow it is in your interest to attend, much more is it today, that you may be able to do so tomorrow also, and may not defer it again to the third day.

白话

人不可能完全避免犯错,但可以不断努力做到无过。只要持续关注,至少能少犯一些错。如果你说“明天再开始注意”,那等于说“今天我允许自己无耻、不顾时间场合、卑劣,允许别人让我痛苦,允许自己愤怒嫉妒”。看看你允许自己做了多少坏事。如果明天注意是好的,今天注意岂不更好?今天注意了,明天才能继续注意,才不会一拖再拖。

上下文

爱比克泰德在《言谈录》中告诫学生不要拖延自我修养,强调即刻行动的重要性。
