马可·奥勒留:沉思录·摘录 100

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

XXX. Contract thy whole life to the measure and proportion of one single action. And if in every particular action thou dost perform what is fitting to the utmost of thy power, let it suffice thee. And who can hinder thee, but that thou mayest perform what is fitting? But there may be some outward let and impediment. Not any, that can hinder thee, but that whatsoever thou dost, thou may do it, justly, temperately, and with the praise of God. Yea, but there may be somewhat, whereby some operation or other of thine may be hindered. And then, with that very thing that doth hinder, thou mayest he well pleased, and so by this gentle and equanimious conversion of thy mind unto that which may be, instead of that which at first thou didst intend, in the room of that former action there succeedeth another, which agrees as well with this contraction of thy life, that we now speak of.

白话

把整个生活收缩到“一次行动”的尺度和比例上。如果每一个具体行动你都尽力做得恰当,那就够了。谁能阻止你做恰当的事呢?也许有外在阻碍,但没有什么能阻止你做事时保持公正、节制、并合乎神意。就算某个行动被挡住了,你也可以欣然接受那个阻碍,把心思温和地转向可能做到的事;于是原先打算的行动换成了另一个,它同样符合我们说的这种收缩的生活。关键不是死守原计划,而是让每一次行动都合乎德性。

今日一问

今天原计划被打断时,你能不能不抱怨,而是立刻转向一件同样恰当的事?
