31、g letter on Answer Sheet 2.Ancient Greek Wisdom Inspires Guidelines to Good Life A Is it possible to enjoy a peaceful life in a world that is increasingly challenged by threats and uncertainties from wars, terrorism, economic crises and a widespread outbreak of infectious diseases? The answer is yes

32、, according to a new book The 10 Golden Rules: Ancient Wisdom from the Greek Philosophers on Living a Good Life. The book is co-authored by Long Island Universitys philosophy professor Michael Soupios and economics professor Panos Mourdoukoutas. B The wisdom of the ancient Greek philosophers is time

33、less, says Soupios. The philosophy professor says it is as relevant today as when it was first written many centuries ago. There is no expiration(失效)date on wisdom, he says There is no shelf life on intelligence. I think that things have become very gloomy these day, lots of misunderstanding, mislea

34、ding cues, a lot of what the ancients would have called sophistry(诡辩). The nice thing about ancient philosophy as offered by the Greeks is that they tended to see life clear and whole, in a way that we tend not to see life today. Examine your life C Soupies, along with his co-author Panos Mourdoukou

35、tas, developed their 10 golden rules by turning to the men behind that philosophy-Aristotle, Socrates, Epictetus and Pythagoras, among others. The first rule-examine your life-is the common thread that runs through the entire book. Soupios says that it is based on Platos observation that the unexami

36、ned life is not worth living. The Greek are always concerned about boxing themselves in, in terms of convictions(信念), he says. So take a step back, switch off the automatic pilot and actually stop and reflect about things like our priorities, our values, and our relationships. Stop worrying about wh

37、at you can not control D As we begin to examine our life, Soupios says, we come to Rule No.2: Worry only about things that you can control. The individual who promoted this idea was a Stoic philosopher His name is Epictetus, he says. And what the Stoics say in general is simply this. There is a larg

38、er plan in life. You are not really going to be able to understand all of the dimerisions of this plan. You are not going to be able to control the dimensions of this plan. E So, Soupios explains, it is not worth it to waste our physical, intellectual and spiritual energy worrying about things that

39、are beyond our control. I can not control whether or not I wind up getting the disease swine flu, for example. He says. I mean, there are some cautious steps. I can take, but ultimately I can not guarantee myself that. So what Epictetus would say is sitting at home worrying about that would be wrong

40、 and wasterful and irrational. You should live your life attempting to identify and control those things which you can genuinely control. Seek true pleasure F To have a meaningful, happy life we need friends. But according to Aristotle-a student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great-most relat

41、ionships dont qualify as true friendships. Just because I have a business relationship with an individual and I can profit from that relationship, it does not necessarily mean that this person is my friend. Soupios says. Real friendship is when two individuals share the same soul. It is a beautiful

42、and uncharacteristically poctic image that Aristotle offers. G In our pursuit of the good life, he says, it is important to seek out true pleasures-advice which was originally offered by Epicurus. But unlike the modern definition of Epicureanism as a life of indulgence(放纵)and luxury, for the ancient

43、 Greeks, it meant finding a state of calm, peace and mental case. H This was the highest and most desirable form of pleasure and happiness for the ancient Epicureans. Soupios says. This is something that is very much well worth considering here in the modern era. I do not think that we spend nearly

44、enough time trying to concentrate on achieving a sort of calmness, a sort of contentment in mental and spiritual, which was identified by these people as the highest form of happiness and pleasure. Do good to othersI Other golden rules counsel us to master ourselves, to avoid excess and not to be a

45、prosperous(发迹的)fool. There are also rules dealing with interpersonal relationships. Be a responsible human being and do not do evil things to others. JThis is Hesiod, of course, a younger contemporary poet, we believe, with Homer, Soupios says. Hesiod offers an idea-which you very often find in some

46、 of the words great religions, in the Judeo-Christian tradition and in Islam an others-that in some sense, when you hurt another human being, you hurt yourself. That damaging other people in your community and in your life, trashing relationships, results in a kind of self-inflicted(自己招致的)spiritual

47、wound. K Instead, Soupios says,ancient wisdom urges us to do good. Golden Rule No.10 for a good life is that kindness toward others tends to be rewarded. L This is Aesop, the fabulist(寓言家), the man of these charming little tales, often told in terms of animals and animal relationships. He says. I think what Aesop was suggesting is that when you offer a good
