塞内卡：塞内卡道德书简·摘录 80
塞内卡《塞内卡道德书简》· Seneca's Morals · 健康 · 领导 · 行动 · 人性
Thirdly, It is to no purpose. “It is a sad thing,” we cry, “to put up with these injuries, and we are not able to bear them;” as if any man that can bear _anger_ could not bear an _injury_, which is much more supportable. You will say that anger does some good yet, for it keeps people in awe, and secures a man from contempt; never considering, that it is more dangerous to be feared than despised. Suppose that an angry man could do as much as he threatens; the more terrible, he is still the more odious; and on the other side, if he wants power, he is the more despicable for his anger; for there is nothing more wretched than a choleric huff, that makes a noise, and nobody cares for it.

白话
塞涅卡说，用愤怒来回应伤害根本没用。我们常抱怨“忍下这些伤害太难受，实在受不了”，可你既然能扛住愤怒，怎么就扛不住伤害呢？伤害其实比愤怒更容易承受。有人辩解说愤怒有好处，能让人敬畏、不被轻视；但塞涅卡指出，被人怕比被人看不起更危险。就算发怒的人真能兑现威胁，他越可怕就越招人恨；要是他没实力，发怒只会显得更可悲——一个气急败坏、大吵大闹却没人理睬的人，是最狼狈的。所以别把愤怒当护身符，它既保护不了你，还让你更孤立。

我是否曾用“发火能让人怕我”来说服自己？这种怕真的给我带来尊重了吗？
