塞内卡:塞内卡道德书简·摘录 96
塞内卡《塞内卡道德书简》· Seneca's Morals · 人性 · 健康 · 行动 · 财富
The injuries that press hardest upon us are those which either we have not deserved, or not expected, or, at least, not in so high a degree. This arises from the love of ourselves: for every man takes upon him, like a prince, in this case, to practice all liberties, and to allow none, which proceeds either from ignorance or insolence. What news is it for people to do ill things? for an enemy to hurt us; nay, for a friend or a servant to transgress, and to prove treacherous, ungrateful, covetous, impious? What we find in one man we may in another, and there is more security in fortune than in men. Our joys are mingled with fear, and a tempest may arise out of a calm; but a skilful pilot is always provided for it.

白话
最让我们难受的伤害,是那些我们没料到、没应得或程度超出预期的。这源于自爱:每个人都像君主一样,对自己无限宽容,对别人却苛刻。别人做坏事、敌人伤害我们、朋友或仆人背叛,有什么好惊讶?人性如此,在别人身上能找到的,在另一个人身上也能找到。所以对人性要有预案,像好舵手在风平浪静时也做好准备。核心是:降低对他人完美行为的期待,提前心理准备。做法是:把“别人可能辜负我”当作常态,不因此崩溃。
