Luke 23:34

[lots-of-little-words]

If someone doesn’t like me, that’s their problem, not mine. My only concern is not being like that - rude or angry in return.

I have to remember to be patient & kind to all. If they’re open to the discussion, try to guide them to their mistake. Never show off: don’t think or act like you’re better than them. And be this way naturally. Don’t bother with jealousy, resentment, or any other anger.

Always follow your Nature & accept what it is. Always be kind & work toward the benefit of everyone. Always; then what else could damage your character?

Meditations, 11.13

A predator; or prey?

Meditations, 5.3

Always do the right thing. The rest doesn’t last.

Whether hot or cold, tired or awake, hated or famous, dying or trying to live; we all eventually face death. Why face it any other way than after a life lived fully & kindly, prepared to embrace our fate?
