塞内卡：塞内卡道德书简·摘录 39
塞内卡《塞内卡道德书简》· Seneca's Morals · 健康 · 哲学 · 认知 · 心性
Some are of opinion that death gives a man courage to support pain, and that pain fortifies a man against death: but I say rather, that a wise man depends upon himself against both, and that he does not either suffer with patience, in hopes of death, or die willingly, because he is weary of life; but he bears the one, and waits for the other, and carries a divine mind through all the accidents of human life. He looks upon faith and honesty as the most sacred good of mankind, and neither to be forced by necessity nor corrupted by reward; kill, burn, tear him in pieces, he will be true to his trust; and the more any man labors to make him discover a secret, the deeper will he hide it. Resolution is the inexpugnable defence of human weakness, and it is a wonderful Providence that attends it.

白话
有些人认为死亡给人勇气去忍受痛苦，而痛苦又使人坚强面对死亡；但我更要说，智者依靠自己来应对两者，他既不会为了盼望死亡而耐心忍受，也不会因为厌倦生活而甘愿死去；他承受痛苦，等待死亡，并以神圣的心灵经历人间一切变故。他把信义和诚实视为人类最神圣的善，既不被必然所迫，也不被奖赏所腐蚀；即使杀他、烧他、将他撕碎，他也会忠于所托；别人越是想让他吐露秘密，他就藏得越深。决心是人性弱点的不可攻破的防御，而有一种奇妙的眷顾伴随着它。
