塞内卡：塞内卡道德书简·摘录 69
塞内卡《塞内卡道德书简》· Seneca's Morals · 人性 · 健康 · 认知 · 行动
The _Stoics_ will have _anger_ to be a “desire of punishing another for some injury done.” Against which it is objected, that we are many times angry with those that never did hurt us, but possibly may, though the harm be not as yet done. But I say, that they hurt us already in conceit: and the very purpose of it is an injury in thought before it breaks out into act. It is opposed again, that if anger were a _desire of punishing_, mean people would not be angry with great ones that are out of their reach; for no man can be said to desire any thing which he judges impossible to compass. But I answer to this, That _anger_ is the _desire_, not the _power_ and _faculty_ of _revenge_; neither is any man so low, but that the greatest man alive may peradventure lie at his mercy.

白话
斯多葛派认为，愤怒是“因受到伤害而想惩罚对方”的欲望。有人反驳：我们常对没伤害过我们、只是可能伤害我们的人发怒，伤害还没发生。但塞内加说，他们在想象中已经伤害了我们，意图本身就是思想上的伤害。又有人反驳：如果愤怒是惩罚的欲望，弱者就不会对够不着的大人物发怒，因为人不会渴望做不到的事。塞内加回答：愤怒是复仇的欲望，不是复仇的能力；再卑微的人，也可能让最有权势的人落入自己手中。

我发怒时，是真的受到了伤害，还是只是想象对方可能伤害我？
