塞内卡:塞内卡道德书简·摘录 100
塞内卡《塞内卡道德书简》· Seneca's Morals · 健康
Before we lay anything to heart, let us ask ourselves if we have not done the same thing to others. But where shall we find an equal judge? He that loves another man’s wife (only because she is another’s) will not suffer his own to be so much looked upon. No man is so fierce against calumny as the evil speaker; none so strict exactors of modesty in a servant as those that are most prodigal of their own. We carry our neighbors’ crimes in sight, and we throw our own over our shoulders. The intemperance of a bad son is chastised by a worse father; and the luxury that we punish in others, we allow to ourselves. The tyrant exclaims against homicide; and sacrilege against theft. We are angry with the persons, but not with the faults.

白话
在把什么事放在心上之前,先问自己有没有对别人做过同样的事。但哪里能找到公平的法官呢?爱别人妻子的人(只因为她是别人的)却不愿自己的妻子被人多看一眼。没有谁比诽谤者更猛烈地反对诽谤;没有谁比最挥霍自己的人更严格要求仆人贞洁。我们把邻居的罪过看在眼里,却把自己的罪过扔到肩后。坏儿子被更坏的 father 惩罚;我们惩罚别人的奢侈,却允许自己奢侈。暴君谴责杀人,亵渎者谴责偷窃。我们生别人的气,却不生罪过的气。所以,要公正,就得先拿同样的镜子照自己。
