The Meditations Of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
沉思录
by Marcus Aurelius
==
found this genre in ancient Roman philosophy.
Stoicism...
this will be a helpful book for me..i feel i will gain a lot from it now...
is this Marcus Antoninus that Marc Anthony? they are both Roma emperor..must be the same person..what an odd thing to know..
He wrote this book for himselfm to carry on daily activities... an interesting Roman man.

"if thou dost not use for clearing away the clouds from thy mind, it will go and thou wilt go, and it will never return.如果你不用这段时间来清除你灵感上的阴霾；它就将逝去，你亦将逝去，并永不复返。"
"For those too are triflers who have wearied themselves in life by their activity, and yet have no object to which to direct every movement,and, in a word, all their thoughts.。因为那些在生活中被自己的活动弄得精疲力尽的人也是放浪者，他们没有目标来引导每一个行为，总之，他们的所有思想都是无目的的。"
ReplyDelete"Through not observing what is in the mind of another a man has seldom been seen to be unhappy; but those who do not observe the movements of their own minds must of necessity be unhappy.不要去注意别人心里在想什么，一个人就很少会被看成是不幸福的，而那些不注意他们自己内心的活动的人却必然是不幸的。"
生活之书！
ReplyDelete虽然千年来生活已经面目全非，可是基本法则竟然一样适用。
另说，觉得金刚经是救命之书。
