Editor's Note:
Bạn mong muốn điều gì từ cuộc sống này? Có thể câu trả lời của bạn là muốn có một người bạn đời biết quan tâm, một công việc tốt và một ngôi nhà đẹp, nhưng chúng thực ra chỉ là một số thứ bạn muốn có trong cuộc sống. Khi hỏi bạn mong muốn điều gì từ cuộc sống này, tôi đang hỏi theo nghĩa rộng nhất. Tôi không hỏi về những mục tiêu mà bạn đề ra khi thực hiện các hoạt động hằng ngày, mà tôi đang hỏi về mục tiêu lớn lao trong cuộc sống của bạn. Nói cách khác, trong số những thứ bạn có thể theo đuổi trong cuộc sống, thứ nào bạn tin là có giá trị nhất?Nhiều người sẽ khó lòng nêu ra được mục tiêu này. Họ biết mình muốn gì trong từng phút một hoặc thậm chí từng thập kỷ một trong suốt cuộc đời mình, nhưng họ chưa bao giờ dành thời gian để suy ngẫm về mục tiêu sống lớn lao của bản thân. Chuyện này có lẽ cũng dễ hiểu. Nền văn hóa của chúng ta vốn không khuyến khích mọi người nghĩ về những điều như vậy, mà chỉ tạo ra hết xao lãng này đến xao lãng khác, để chúng ta không bao giờ phải bận tâm đến chúng. Nhưng một mục tiêu lớn lao trong đời là thành phần đầu tiên của một triết lý sống. Nếu bạn không có một mục tiêu lớn lao trong đời, tức là bạn không có một triết lý sống chặt chẽ.Nhưng tại sao có một triết lý sống lại quan trọng? Vì nếu không có nó, bạn sẽ có nguy cơ sống lầm lạc – bất kể bạn đã làm gì, bất kể mọi niềm vui thú mà bạn đã thụ hưởng lúc sinh thời, chung quy bạn vẫn sẽ sống một cuộc đời tồi tệ. Nói cách khác, có nguy cơ là lúc bạn đang nằm hấp hối trên giường, bạn sẽ nhìn lại và nhận ra rằng mình đã uổng phí một cơ hội sống. Thay vì dành cuộc đời mình để theo đuổi điều gì đó thực sự đáng giá, bạn đã phung phí nó khi mặc cho bản thân bị xao lãng trước vô số thứ phù phiếm mà cuộc đời đưa đến. Giờ giả sử bạn đã xác định được mục tiêu lớn lao trong đời mình. Và bạn cũng biết rõ tại sao mục tiêu này lại đáng để phấn đấu. Dù thế, bạn vẫn có nguy cơ sống lầm lạc. Bạn có thể sẽ không đạt được mục tiêu này, nhất là nếu không có một chiến lược hiệu quả. Do đó, thành phần thứ hai của một triết lý sống là một chiến lược để đạt được mục tiêu lớn lao của bạn. Chiến lược này sẽ chỉ rõ cho bạn phải làm những gì trong cuộc sống hằng ngày, từ đó tối đa hóa khả năng đạt được điều mà bạn xem là đáng giá nhất trong cuộc đời mình.Cuốn sách này dành cho những người đang tìm kiếm một triết lý sống. Trong các trang tiếp theo, tôi sẽ tập trung vào một triết lý mà tôi thấy hữu ích và tôi nghĩ rằng nhiều độc giả cũng sẽ thấy như vậy. Đó là triết lý của trường phái Khắc kỷ cổ đại. Tuy triết lý sống này đã lâu đời nhưng ngày nay nó xứng đáng nhận được sự chú ý của bất kỳ cá nhân nào mong muốn có được một cuộc sống vừa ý nghĩa vừa trọn vẹn – những người mong muốn có được một cuộc sống tốt đẹp.Nói cách khác, cuốn sách này đưa ra lời khuyên mọi người nên sống như thế nào. Đúng hơn, tôi sẽ là cầu nối mang đến cho bạn lời khuyên của các triết gia Khắc kỷ từ hai ngàn năm trước. Đây là điều mà các triết gia đồng nghiệp của tôi thường miễn cưỡng thực hiện, nhưng nói đi cũng phải nói lại, họ chủ yếu quan tâm đến “tính học thuật” của triết học; tức là họ chuyên nghiên cứu về lý thuyết hoặc lịch sử. Ngược lại, tôi quan tâm đến tính thực tiễn của chủ nghĩa Khắc kỷ: mục tiêu của tôi là áp dụng triết lý này vào cuộc sống của mình và khuyến khích người khác áp dụng nó vào cuộc sống của họ. Tôi cho rằng các triết gia Khắc kỷ cổ đại sẽ khuyến khích cả hai đường hướng này, nhưng họ cũng sẽ khẳng định rằng lý do chính để tìm hiểu về chủ nghĩa Khắc kỷ là nhằm áp dụng nó vào thực tiễn.Điểm nữa cần hiểu rõ là mặc dù chủ nghĩa Khắc kỷ là một triết lý, nhưng nó cũng bao hàm cả yếu tố tâm lý. Các nhà Khắc kỷ nhận ra rằng một cuộc sống đầy rẫy cảm xúc tiêu cực – bao gồm tức giận, lo lắng, sợ hãi, đau buồn và ghen tị – không phải là một cuộc sống tốt đẹp. Do đó, họ trở thành những nhà quan sát nhạy bén về hoạt động của tâm trí con người và kết quả là trở thành một số nhà tâm lý học uyên bác nhất thời cổ đại. Họ tiếp tục phát triển các kỹ thuật để ngăn không cho các cảm xúc tiêu cực xuất hiện và để dập tắt chúng khi những nỗ lực ngăn chặn thất bại. Ngay cả những độc giả không tin tưởng phương pháp suy diễn của triết học cũng nên quan tâm đến các kỹ thuật này. Suy cho cùng, ai lại không muốn giảm bớt số lượng cảm xúc tiêu cực trong cuộc sống hằng ngày cơ chứ?Mặc dù tôi đã nghiên cứu triết học trong suốt cả quãng đời trưởng thành, nhưng thực ra mãi cho đến thời gian gần đây, vốn kiến thức của tôi về chủ nghĩa Khắc kỷ vẫn còn nghèo nàn vô cùng. Các giảng viên đại học và cao học chưa từng yêu cầu tôi tìm đọc các triết gia Khắc kỷ, và mặc dù cũng ham đọc sách, nhưng tôi lại không có nhu cầu tìm đọc họ. Nhìn chung, tôi không có nhu cầu chiêm nghiệm về một triết lý sống nào cả. Thay vào đó, như hầu hết mọi người, tôi cảm thấy thoải mái với thứ triết lý sống mặc đị theo đuổi tiền tài, địa vị xã hội và lạc thú. Có thể xem triết lý sống của tôi là một dạng chủ nghĩa khoái lạc khai ngộ.Thế nhưng, ở độ tuổi ngoài 40, dòng đời bắt đầu đưa đẩy tôi tiếp xúc v...
