塞内卡:塞内卡道德书简·摘录 101

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

The humanity and excellence of this virtue is confessed at all hands, as well by the men of _pleasure_, and those that think every man was made for himself, as by the Stoics, that make “man a sociable creature, and born for the common good of mankind:” for it is of all dispositions the most _peaceable_ and _quiet_. But before we enter any farther upon the discourse, it should be first known what _clemency_ is, that we may distinguish it from _pity_; which is a _weakness_, though many times mistaken for a _virtue_: and the next thing will be, to bring the mind to the _habit_ and _exercise_ of it.

白话

宽恕的人性和卓越,所有人都承认,无论是享乐主义者、认为人人为己的人,还是斯多葛派(他们认为人是社会性的,为共同利益而生),因为宽恕是所有性情中最和平、最安静的。但在深入讨论之前,先要弄清楚什么是宽恕,以便把它与怜悯区分开;怜悯是一种软弱,虽然常被误认为美德。接下来,要把心灵带到宽恕的习惯和实践中。也就是说,宽恕不是心软,而是理性的选择;要练习,直到成为习惯。

上下文
