353. The skill of the pilot is independent of the value of the cargo

from Stoic Meditations · host Massimo Pigliucci

Cicero uses a metaphor involving ship pilots and their cargo to remind us that a more or less valuable "cargo" doesn't make us better or worse "pilots." It is our skills, that is our virtue, that make the difference.
