马可·奥勒留:沉思录·摘录 160

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

XXIV. What doest thou desire? To live long. What? To enjoy the operations of a sensitive soul; or of the appetitive faculty? or wouldst thou grow, and then decrease again? Wouldst thou long be able to talk, to think and reason with thyself? Which of all these seems unto thee a worthy object of thy desire? Now if of all these thou doest find that they be but little worth in themselves, proceed on unto the last, which is, in all things to follow God and reason. But for a man to grieve that by death he shall be deprived of any of these things, is both against God and reason.

白话

你渴望什么?长寿?享受感官?经历生长与衰败?长久地思考?这些本身有多大价值?如果发现它们都不值得,那就转向最后的目标:凡事遵循神与理性。因死亡而失去这些而悲伤,既违背神也违背理性。所以,别把长寿本身当目标,而要把活着的每一刻用于理性与德性。这样,无论生命长短,你都活得有意义。
