爱比克泰德:论说集与手册·摘录 85

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

Remember that in life you ought to behave as at a banquet. Suppose that something is carried round and is opposite to you. Stretch out your hand and take a portion with decency. Suppose that it passes by you. Do not detain it. Suppose that it is not yet come to you. Do not send your desire forward to it, but wait till it is opposite to you. Do so with respect to children, so with respect to a wife, so with respect to magisterial offices, so with respect to wealth, and you will be some time a worthy partner of the banquets of the gods. But if you take none of the things which are set before you, and even despise them, then you will be not only a fellow banqueter with the gods, but also a partner with them in power. For by acting thus Diogenes and Heracleitus and those like them were deservedly divine, and were so called.

白话

记住,人生就像参加一场宴会。有东西传到你面前,就体面地伸手取一份;它传过去了,别拦住;还没到你,别把欲望先伸过去,等它来到你面前。对子女、妻子、官职、财富都这样。这样你就有资格与神同席。如果你对摆上的东西一概不取,甚至看不上,那你不只与神同席,还能和神一样有力量。第欧根尼、赫拉克利特这些人就是这样被尊为神的。

上下文

爱比克泰德用宴会比喻人生,说明斯多葛派对待外物的态度:可取但不贪,不取亦不怨。

面对眼前的机会或诱惑,你是急于伸手,还是能等到它自然来到面前?
