The desire for recognition, the thymotic part of the soul, is the most political part of the human personality because it is what drives people to want to be recognized as superior to others.
对认可的渴望,灵魂中的激情部分,是人格中最具政治性的部分,因为它驱使人们希望被认可为优于他人。
There is no escape, only different kinds of prisons.

做官的人应为肩负天下重任而养身,而不是为私家小利惜身。省却嗜好欲念,减除烦恼忧虑,戒除愤怒,节制饮食,这就是养身。计较得失利益,规避辛劳哀怨,营造住宅房舍,以妻子儿女为重,这就是惜身。养生的人,不妄为而大方;惜身的人,腥膻而琐碎。
