塞内卡:塞内卡道德书简·摘录 99
塞内卡《塞内卡道德书简》· Seneca's Morals · 健康 · 行动 · 领导 · 人性
It is a wicked world, and we make part of it; and the way to be quiet is to bear one with another. “Such a man,” we cry, “has done me a shrewd turn, and I never did him any hurt.” Well, but it may be I have mischieved other people, or at least, I may live to do as much to him as that comes to. “Such a one has spoken ill things of me;” but if I first speak ill of him, as I do of many others, this is not an injury, but a repayment. What if he did overshoot himself? He was loth to lose his conceit perhaps, but there was no malice in it; and if he had not done me a mischief, he must have done himself one. How many good offices are there that look like injuries! Nay, how many have been reconciled and good friends after a professed hatred!

白话
这个世界很糟糕,而我们也是其中一部分;要想过得安宁,就得互相忍耐。我们常喊:“某人对我使了坏,可我从未伤害过他。”但也许我伤害过别人,或者将来也可能那样对他。“某人在背后说我坏话。”可如果我也先说他的坏话,就像我对许多人做的那样,这就不算伤害,而是回敬。就算他做得过分,也许只是不想丢面子,并无恶意;要是他没害我,就得害自己。多少好意看起来像伤害!又有多少人在公开仇恨之后反而和好成了朋友!所以,别急着把别人的行为当成恶意,多想想自己也可能这样,心就宽了。
上下文
塞内加在《道德书简》中讨论人际冲突,强调互相宽容是获得内心平静的途径。

今天遇到别人冒犯我时,我能否先想想自己是否也曾这样对别人?
