30、es Guidelines to Good LifeAIs 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 RulesAncient Wisdom
31、 from the Greek Philosophers on Living a Good LifeThe book is co-authored by Long Island Universitys philosophy professor Michael Soupios and economics professor Panos MourdoukoutasBThe wisdom of the ancient Greek philosophers is timeless,says SoupiosThe philosophy professor says it is as relevant t
32、oday as when it was first written many centuries agoThere is no expiration date on wisdomhe saysThere is no shelf life on intelligenceI think that things have bee very gloomy these days,lots of misunderstanding,misleading cues,a lot of what the ancients would have called sophistryThe nice thing abou
33、t 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 lifeCSoupios,along with his coauthor Panos Mourdoukoutas,developed their 10 golden rules by turning to the men behind that philosophyAristotle,Socrat
34、es,Epictetus and Pythagoras,among othersThe first ruleexamine your lifeis the mon thread that runs through the entire bookSoupios says that it is based on Platos observation that the unexamined life is not worth livingThe Greeks are always concerned about boxing themselves in,in terms of convictions
35、,he saysSo take a step back, switch off the automatic pilot and actually stop and reflect about things like our priorities,our values, and our relationshipsStop worrying about what you can not controlDAs we begin to examine our life,Soupios says,we e to Rule No2：Worry only about things that you can
36、controlThe individual who promoted this idea was a Stoic philosopherHis name is Epictetus,he saysAnd what the Stoics say in general is simply this：There is a larger plan in lifeYou are not really going to be able to understand all of the dimensions of this planYou are not going to be able to control
37、 the dimensions of this planESo,Soupios explains,it is not worth it to waste our physical,intellectual and spiritual energy worrying about things that are beyond our controlI can not control whether or not l wind up getting the disease swine flu,for example,he saysI mean,there are some cautious step
38、s I can take,but ultimately I can not guarantee myself thatSo what Epictetus would say is sitting at home worrying about that would be wrong and wasteful and irrationalYou should live your life attempting to identify and control those things which you can genuinely control Seek true pleasureFTo have
39、 a meaningful,happy life we need friendsBut according to Aristotlea student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Greatmost relationships dont qualify as true friendshipsJust because I have a business relationship with an individualIn our pursuit of the good life,he says,it is important to seek out
40、true pleasuresadvice which was originally offered by EpicurusBut unlike the modem definition of Epicureanism as a life of indulgence and luxury,for the ancient Greeks,it meant finding a state of calm,peace and mental easedual and I can profit from that relationshipit does not necessarily mean that t
41、his person is my friend,Soupios saysReal friendship is when two individuals share the same soulIt is a beautiful and uncharacteristically poetic image that Aristotle offersHThis was the highest and most desirable form of pleasure and happiness for the ancient Epicureans, Soupios saysThis is somethin
42、g that is very much well worth considering here in the modem eraI do not think that we spend nearly enough time trying to concentrate on achieving a sort of calmness,a sort of contentment in a mental and spiritual way,which was identified by these people as the highest form of happiness and pleasure
43、Do good to othersI Other golden rules counsel us to master ourselves,to avoid excess and not to be a prosperous foolThere are also rules dealing with interpersonal relationships：Be a responsible human being and do not do evil things to othersJThis is Hesiod,of course,a younger contemporary poet,we b
44、elieve,with Homer,Soupios saysHesiod offers an ideawhich you very often find in some of the worlds great religions.in the JudeoChristian tradition and in Islam and othersthat in some sense、when you hurt another human being,you hurt yourselfThat damaging other people in your munity and in your life,t
45、rashing relationships,results in a kind of self-inflictedspiritual woundKInstead,Soupios says,ancient wisdom urges us to do goodGolden Rule No10 for a good life is that kindness toward others tends to be rewardedLThis is Aesop,the fabulist,the man of these charming little tales,often told in terms o
46、f animals and animal relationshipshe saysI think what Aesop was suggesting is that when you offer a good rum to another human being,one can hope that that good deed will e back and sort of pay a profit to you,the doer of the good deedEven if there is no concrete benefit paid in response to your good deed,at the very least,the doer of the good deed has the opportunity to enjoy a kind of spiritually enlightened moment,MSoupios says f
