塞内卡:塞内卡道德书简·摘录 81

塞内卡《塞内卡道德书简》· Seneca's Morals · 健康 · 心性 · 认知 · 行动

But “may not an honest man then be allowed to be angry at the murder of his father, or the ravishing of his sister or daughter before his face?” No, not at all. I will defend my parents, and I will repay the injuries that are done them; but it is my piety and not my anger, that moves me to it. I will do my duty without fear or confusion, I will not rage, I will not weep; but discharge the office of a good man without forfeiting the dignity of a man. If my father be assaulted, I will endeavor to rescue him; if he be killed, I will do right to his memory; find all this, not in any transport of passion, but in honor and conscience. Neither is there any need of anger where reason does the same thing.

白话

有人问:父亲被杀、姐妹或女儿当面受辱,正直的人难道不该愤怒吗?塞涅卡回答:完全不该。我会保护父母,也会为他们讨回公道,但驱动我的是孝道和责任,不是愤怒。我会尽本分,不恐慌、不混乱,不暴跳、不哭号,既做个好人,也不失人的尊严。父亲受攻击,我设法救他;父亲被杀,我为他伸冤——这一切靠的是荣誉感和良知,不是情绪冲动。既然理性做得到同样的事,何必非要愤怒?愤怒只会干扰判断,让行动失序。

上下文

塞涅卡在《道德书简》中反驳“愤怒有时必要”的常见理由,主张理性足以驱动正义行动。

今日一问

当亲人受伤害时,我能否先稳住情绪,用理性而非怒火去保护他们?
