我之所以为我,不过是一堆肉、一口气和一股控制一切的理性。丢开你的书本!不要再被书本所困惑,那是不可以的。要像一个垂死的人一般,轻视那□□——那不过是一汪子血、几根骨头、神经和血管组成的网架。再看看那一口气,究竟是什么东西——空气而已,还不是固定的一口气,每分钟都要呼出去,再吸进来,剩下来的是理性;要这样想:你是个老年人了,不要再做奴隶,不要再做被各种私欲所牵扯的傀儡,不要再令他怨恨现世的命运,并且恐惧未来的命运。 I am what I am, a lump of flesh, a breath, and a breath of reason controlling everything. Leave your books! Don't be confused by books, it is not possible.Like a dying man, despise the flesh——it is but a net of blood, bones, nerves, and vessels.Look at that breath. What is it Air, not a fixed breath.Think of it this way: you are an old man, no longer a slave, no longer a puppet tied to various desires, no longer a man who hates his present fate and fears it. ——《沉思录》马可奥勒留(Marcus Aurelius)
