VII. A branch cut off from the continuity of that which was next unto it, must needs be cut off from the whole tree: so a man that is divided from another man, is divided from the whole society. A branch is cut off by another, but he that hates and is averse, cuts himself off from his neighbour, and knows not that at the same time he divides himself from the whole body, or corporation. But herein is the gift and mercy of God, the Author of this society, in that, once cut off we may grow together and become part of the whole again. But if this happen often the misery is that the further a man is run in this division, the harder he is to be reunited and restored again: and however the branch which, once cut of afterwards was graffed in, gardeners can tell you is not like that which sprouted together at first, and still continued in the unity of the body.

白话

树枝被砍下,就脱离了整棵树;人若与同胞割裂,也就脱离了整个社会。树枝是被外力砍断的,但心怀憎恨和厌恶的人,是自己把自己从邻人身边砍掉的,而且没意识到同时也脱离了整体。好在造物主给了我们恩典:即使被砍断,仍能重新接上,再次成为整体的一部分。但如果反复割裂,就越难复原。而且,重新嫁接的枝条,终究不如最初就长在树上的那样浑然一体。所以,要珍惜与人的联结,别轻易切断。

上下文

马可·奥勒留用树枝比喻人与社会的关系,强调人是社会性动物,割裂会带来伤害。
