马可·奥勒留《沉思录》· Meditations · 哲学 · 健康 · 认知 · 成长

XXIX. Whatsoever is now present, and from day to day hath its existence; all objects of memories, and the minds and memories themselves, incessantly consider, all things that are, have their being by change and alteration. Use thyself therefore often to meditate upon this, that the nature of the universe delights in nothing more, than in altering those things that are, and in making others like unto them. So that we may say, that whatsoever is, is but as it were the seed of that which shall be. For if thou think that that only is seed, which either the earth or the womb receiveth, thou art very simple.

白话

现在存在的一切,以及日复一日存在的东西,包括记忆中的对象、心灵和记忆本身,都要不断想到:一切存在者都是通过变化和更替而存在的。所以你要常冥想:宇宙本性最喜欢的,莫过于改变现有事物,并造出类似的新事物。因此可以说,凡存在者,都像是将要存在之物的种子。如果你以为只有土地或子宫接受的才是种子,那就太天真了。也就是说,变化不是毁灭,而是延续;把失去和转变看作生命播种的方式,你就能更坦然地面对变动。

上下文

《沉思录》中斯多葛派的核心观点:宇宙处于永恒变化中,生灭是同一过程。

今日一问

面对一次失去或改变,我能否把它看作新可能的种子,而不是终点?
