塞内卡:塞内卡道德书简·摘录 91

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

It was a severe instance, that of Piso too. A soldier that had leave to go abroad with his comrade, came back to the camp at his time, but without his companion. Piso condemned him to die, as if he had killed him, and appoints a centurion to see the execution. Just as the headsman was ready to do his office, the other soldier appeared, to the great joy of the whole field, and the centurion bade the executioner hold his hand. Hereupon Piso, in a rage, mounts the _tribunal_, and sentences all three to death: the one because he was _condemned_, the _other_ because it was for _his sake_ that his fellow-soldier was _condemned_, the _centurion_ for not obeying the _order_ of his _superior_. An ingenious piece of inhumanity, to contrive how to make three criminals, where effectively there were none.

白话

皮索的例子也很严厉。一个士兵获准与同伴外出,按时回到营地,但同伴没回来。皮索判他死刑,仿佛他杀了同伴,并派百夫长监督执行。就在刽子手准备行刑时,另一个士兵出现了,全场欢欣,百夫长让刽子手住手。皮索大怒,登上法庭,判三人死刑:一个因为已被判刑,另一个因为他的缘故导致同伴被判刑,百夫长因为不服从上级命令。一种巧妙的非人道,在实际上无人犯罪的情况下制造出三个罪犯。

上下文

塞涅卡举罗马军官皮索的暴怒为例,说明愤怒如何扭曲正义、制造无辜受害者。

你是否曾因愤怒而惩罚了本不该受罚的人,甚至牵连更多人?
