塞内卡:塞内卡道德书简·摘录 46

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

Lucilius tells me, that he was written to by a friend, but cautions me withal not to say anything to him of the affair in question; for he himself stands upon the same guard. What is this but to affirm and to deny the same thing in the same breath, in calling a man a friend, whom we dare not trust as our own soul? For there must be no reserves in friendship: as much deliberation as you please before the league is struck, but no doubtings or jealousies after. It is a preposterous weakness to love a man before we know him, and not to care for him after. It requires time to consider of a friendship, but the resolution once taken, entitles him to my very heart. I look upon my thoughts to be as safe in his breast as in my own: I shall, without any scruple, make him the confidant of my most secret cares and counsels.

白话

卢西利乌斯告诉我,有个朋友写信给他,但叮嘱他不要向那人提及相关事情,因为那人自己也同样谨慎。这岂不是在同一口气里既肯定又否定,把不敢信任如自己灵魂的人称为朋友?友谊中不应有保留:结盟前可以深思熟虑,但结盟后就不该再有怀疑和猜忌。先爱后了解是荒谬的弱点,了解后却不关心更是如此。友谊需要时间考量,但一旦决定,就要把对方请进心扉。我相信我的想法在他胸中如同在我自己心中一样安全,我会毫无顾虑地让他成为我最隐秘的忧虑和计划的知己。

上下文

塞涅卡在《道德书简》中批评友谊中的不信任,强调真正的友谊需要完全坦诚。
