It is related that once, upon invitation, he went to pay a visit to Ptoeodorus the Megarian, a man, it would seem, of wealth and importance; and when, on account of the concourse of people about his doors, and the press of business, it was very troublesome and difficult to get access to him, turning about to his friends who seemed concerned and angry at it, "What reason," said he, "have we to blame Ptoeodorus, when we ourselves used to do no better when we were at Syracuse?"

白话

据说有一次,他应邀去拜访麦加拉的普托埃奥多罗斯,此人似乎有钱有势;因为门口人多、事务繁忙,很难见到他。他转身对身边显得不满的朋友说:“我们有什么理由怪普托埃奥多罗斯呢?我们自己以前在叙拉古不也是这样吗?”这提醒我们,在抱怨别人摆架子之前,先想想自己是否也曾如此;换位思考能减少怨气,也让人更宽容。

上下文

普鲁塔克《希腊罗马名人传》中关于狄翁的一则轶事,体现其自省与宽容。

今日一问

当你抱怨别人难以接近时,是否想过自己也曾让别人吃过闭门羹?
