Section B
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, 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 University's philosophy professor
Michael Soupios and economics professor Panos Mourdoukoutas.
[B] The wisdom of the ancient Greek philosophers is timeless, 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, misleading 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 Mourdoukoutas, 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
Plato's observation that the unexamined 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 what 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 larger 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
