塞内卡:塞内卡道德书简·摘录 89
塞内卡《塞内卡道德书简》· Seneca's Morals · 健康 · 人性 · 财富 · 认知
The malevolent and the envious content themselves only to _wish_ another man miserable; but it is the business of anger to _make_ him so, and to wreck the mischief itself; not so much desiring the hurt of another, as to inflict it. Among the powerful, it breaks out into open war, and into a private one with the common people, but without force or arms. It engages us in treacheries, perpetual troubles and contentions: it alters the very nature of a man, and punishes itself in the persecution of others. Humanity excites us to love, this to hatred; that to be beneficial to others, this to hurt them: beside, that, though it proceeds from too high a conceit of ourselves, it is yet, in effect, but a narrow and contemptible affection; especially when it meets with a mind that is hard and impenetrable, and returns the dart upon the head of him that casts it.

白话
恶毒和嫉妒的人只满足于希望别人倒霉;但愤怒却要让人真的倒霉,并亲自制造伤害;它与其说希望别人受损,不如说要施加伤害。在强者中,它爆发为公开战争,在平民中则私下争斗,但不用武力。它让我们陷入背叛、无休止的麻烦和争执;它改变人的本性,并在迫害他人时惩罚自己。人性激发我们去爱,愤怒则激发我们去恨;人性让我们造福他人,愤怒让我们伤害他人。此外,尽管愤怒源于自视过高,它实际上却是一种狭隘可鄙的情感,尤其当它遇到坚硬不可穿透的心灵时,飞镖会反弹到投掷者头上。
上下文
