If you intend to improve, throw away such thoughts as these: if I neglect my affairs, I shall not have the means of living: unless I chastise my slave, he will be bad. For it is better to die of hunger and so to be released from grief and fear than to live in abundance with perturbation; and it is better for your slave to be bad than for you to be unhappy. Begin then from little things. Is the oil spilled? Is a little wine stolen? Say on the occasion, at such price is sold freedom from perturbation; at such price is sold tranquillity, but nothing is got for nothing. And when you call your slave, consider that it is possible that he does not hear; and if he does hear, that he will do nothing which you wish. But matters are not so well with him, but altogether well with you, that it should be in his power for you to be not disturbed.

白话
如果你想进步,就得扔掉这些念头:“我不管事就没法活”“不惩罚奴隶他就会变坏”。因为饿死而摆脱烦恼恐惧,也比富足却心神不宁好;奴隶变坏,也好过你自己不幸福。从小事开始练:油洒了、酒被偷了点,就说“这就是获得内心平静的代价,没有白得的东西”。叫奴隶时,先想到他可能听不见,听见了也可能不照做。这样,你就不必因为他而心烦,你的安宁不掌握在他手里。
上下文
爱比克泰德是奴隶出身的斯多葛哲学家,他强调自由在于内心不受外物干扰,而非外在境遇。
