爱比克泰德:论说集与手册·摘录 102

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

When you are going to any of those who are in great power, place before yourself that you will not find the man at home, that you will be excluded, that the door will not be opened to you, that the man will not care about you. And if with all this it is your duty to visit him, bear what happens, and never say to yourself that it was not worth the trouble. For this is silly, and marks the character of a man who is offended by externals.

白话

当你去拜访有权势的人时,先预想:他可能不在家,你可能被拒之门外,门可能不开,他可能根本不在意你。如果尽管如此,你仍觉得有责任去拜访,那就承受发生的一切,别事后抱怨“不值得”。抱怨是愚蠢的,说明你被外部事物冒犯了。关键是把期望降到现实,专注于自己尽义务,而非对方如何反应。

上下文

古罗马社会等级分明,拜访权贵常受冷遇,斯多葛哲学教人预先设想困难以保持平静。
