Ryan Holiday：我认为，即使面对暴政和强权，我们仍然拥有不可剥夺的内在品格和尊严。暴君可以夺走我们的自由、财富甚至生命，但他们无法触及我们内心的价值观和自尊，除非我们自己选择放弃。历史上，像阿格里皮努斯和特拉西亚这样的斯多葛主义者，通过坚守原则、拒绝与暴政同流合污，维护了自己的尊严。而塞内卡为了保住地位，选择妥协，最终失去了尊严。这警示我们，无论环境多么艰难，我们都应该坚守自己的价值观，不向强权低头。因为真正的尊严不是别人给予的，而是我们通过自己的行为选择赢得的。即使在当今社会，我们也会面临各种挑战和压力，但我们仍然有权选择自己的道路，保持自己的尊严和品格。斯多葛学派教导我们，我们的品格和尊严掌握在我们自己手中，与外在环境无关。因此，我们应该时刻警醒自己，不要为了追求外在的利益而放弃内心的原则，要始终保持清醒的头脑和坚定的信念，做一个有尊严、有价值的人。
