塞内卡:塞内卡道德书简·摘录 43
塞内卡《塞内卡道德书简》· Seneca's Morals · 健康 · 行动 · 人性 · 投资
Now, though it be by instinct that we covet society, and avoid solitude, we should yet take this along with us, that the more acquaintance the more danger: nay, there is not one man of a hundred that is to be trusted with himself. If company cannot alter us, it may interrupt us, and he that so much as stops upon the way loses a great deal of a short life, which we yet make shorter by our inconstancy. If an enemy were at our heels, what haste should we make!—but death is so, and yet we never mind it. There is no venturing of tender and easy natures among the people, for it is odds that they will go over to the major party. It would, perhaps, shake the constancy of Socrates, Cato, Lælius, or any of us all, even when our resolutions are at the height, to stand the shock of vice that presses upon us with a kind of public authority.

白话
虽然我们出于本能渴望社交、逃避孤独,但也要记住:认识的人越多,危险越大;一百个人里没有一个能信任自己。如果交往不能改变我们,也可能打断我们,而在短暂人生路上稍一停留就损失很多,我们却因反复无常使人生更短。如果敌人追在脚后,我们该多匆忙!但死亡正是如此,我们却从不留意。脆弱温和的人不宜混迹人群,因为他们多半会倒向多数派。即使是苏格拉底、加图、莱利乌斯或我们任何人,在决心最高涨时,面对以公共权威之势压来的恶行冲击,也可能会动摇。
