塞内卡:塞内卡道德书简·摘录 11

塞内卡《塞内卡道德书简》· Seneca's Morals · 健康 · 行动 · 哲学

“If there be a Providence,” say some, “how comes it to pass that good men labor under affliction and adversity, and wicked men enjoy themselves in ease and plenty?” My answer is, that God deals by us as a good father does by his children; he tries us, he hardens us, and fits us for himself. He keeps a strict hand over those that he loves; and by the rest he does as we do by our slaves; he lets them go on in license and boldness.

白话

核心是:好人受苦、坏人享乐,并不证明没有天意。塞内加的回答是:神像好父亲对待孩子一样,用磨难考验、锻炼我们,使我们适合他;对喜爱的人严格管教,对其他人则像对待奴隶一样放任。所以逆境不是被抛弃,而是被训练。做法是:把困难看作锻炼品格和能力的课程,不因一时顺逆判断自己是否被眷顾,而是问这段经历能让自己成长什么。

上下文

这是塞内加对“天意为何让好人受苦”这一古老质疑的回应,体现斯多葛派的神义论。
