塞内卡:塞内卡道德书简·摘录 94
塞内卡《塞内卡道德书简》· Seneca's Morals · 健康 · 财富 · 心性 · 领导
A physician is not angry at the intemperance of a mad patient; nor does he take it ill to be railed at by a man in a fever; just so should a wise man treat all mankind as a physician does his patient; and looking upon them only as sick and extravagant, let their words and actions, whether good or bad, go equally for nothing, attending still his duty even in the coarsest offices that may conduce to their recovery. Men that are proud, froward, and powerful, he values their scorn as little as their quality, and looks upon them no otherwise than as people in the excess of a fever. If a beggar worships him, or if he takes no notice of him, it is all one to him; and with a rich man he makes it the same case. Their honors and their injuries he accounts much alike; without rejoicing at the one, or grieving at the other.

白话
医生不会对发疯病人的放纵生气,也不会因发烧病人骂他而计较。智者对待所有人也应像医生对待病人,把他们看作生病、失常的人,无论他们说话好坏都不往心里去,只专注自己的职责,哪怕做最粗贱的事来帮他们康复。对骄傲、乖戾、有权势的人,智者轻视他们的蔑视,如同看待高烧病人。乞丐崇拜他或不理他,富人也一样,荣誉和伤害都不为所动。核心是:把别人的恶劣言行看作病态,不卷入情绪。做法是:遇到难缠的人,先想“他可能正处在某种病态中”,然后做你该做的。
