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

XIX. Ever to represent unto thyself; and to set before thee, both the general age and time of the world, and the whole substance of it. And how all things particular in respect of these are for their substance, as one of the least seeds that is: and for their duration, as the turning of the pestle in the mortar once about. Then to fix thy mind upon every particular object of the world, and to conceive it, (as it is indeed,) as already being in the state of dissolution, and of change; tending to some kind of either putrefaction or dispersion; or whatsoever else it is, that is the death as it were of everything in his own kind.

白话

要常常把整个世界的年代和全部实体摆在眼前,再拿具体事物去比:论体积,它像一粒最小的种子;论持续时间,它像杵在臼里转一圈那么短。然后盯住每个具体对象,按它本来的样子去想——它已经在消解和变化中,正走向腐烂、散开,或别的什么,那就是万物各自意义上的死亡。这样看不是悲观,而是把大小长短放回真实比例,免得把眼前小事看得过重。

上下文

马可·奥勒留用斯多葛派的宇宙观训练自己:万物不断变化消散,人应据此调整对得失的执念。

我眼下最焦虑的那件事,放进一生的尺度里,还占多大分量?
