爱比克泰德:论说集与手册·摘录 104

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

If you have received the impression ([Greek: phantasion]) of any pleasure, guard yourself against being carried away by it; but let the thing wait for you, and allow yourself a certain delay on your own part. Then think of both times, of the time when you will enjoy the pleasure, and of the time after the enjoyment of the pleasure, when you will repent and will reproach yourself. And set against these things how you will rejoice, if you have abstained from the pleasure, and how you will commend yourself. But if it seem to you seasonable to undertake (do) the thing, take care that the charm of it, and the pleasure, and the attraction of it shall not conquer you; but set on the other side the consideration, how much better it is to be conscious that you have gained this victory.

白话

当你产生某种快乐的念头时,先别急着被它带走,让它等一等,自己主动延迟一下。然后想想两个时刻:享受快乐的时候,以及享受之后会后悔自责的时候。再把 abstain 的好处摆出来:如果你克制住了,会多么高兴,会怎样称赞自己。如果经过考虑,你觉得时机合适去做,那也要小心,别让它的魅力和吸引力征服你;相反,要想想意识到自己赢得这场胜利的感觉有多好。

上下文

爱比克泰德是古罗马斯多葛派哲学家,这段话出自他的《语录》,教导人们如何用理性延迟满足、权衡利弊。

今天面对一个诱惑时,我能否先暂停十分钟,想想享受后的后悔和克制后的自豪?
