II. It were indeed more happy and comfortable, for a man to depart out of this world, having lived all his life long clear from all falsehood, dissimulation, voluptuousness, and pride. But if this cannot be, yet it is some comfort for a man joyfully to depart as weary, and out of love with those; rather than to desire to live, and to continue long in those wicked courses. Hath not yet experience taught thee to fly from the plague? For a far greater plague is the corruption of the mind, than any certain change and distemper of the common air can be. This is a plague of creatures, as they are living creatures; but that of men as they are men or reasonable.

白话
如果一生都能远离虚伪、放纵和傲慢,那当然最幸福。但若做不到,至少可以欣慰地离开,因为你对这些恶行已经厌倦,不再留恋。不要宁愿活着却继续作恶。经验难道没教你躲避瘟疫吗?心灵的腐败比空气传播的疾病更可怕。空气疾病威胁的是生物,而心灵腐败威胁的是人之所以为人的理性。所以,要优先防范心灵的瘟疫。
上下文
马可·奥勒留把心灵的腐败比作瘟疫,认为它比身体疾病更危险,因为它腐蚀人的理性本质。
