Aurelius - Meditations 4:22: That's a Jacket, Not a Bad Cat!

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Do not wander without a purpose, but in all your impulses render what is just, and in all your imaginations maintain your faculty of comprehension and understanding. --------------------Epictetus – Discourses 2.18.24-25 (trans. Hard)In the first place, do not allow yourself to be carried away by [the] intensity [of your impression]: but say, “Impression, wait for me a little. Let me see what you are, and what you represent. Let me test you.” Then, afterwards, do not allow it to draw you on by picturing what may come next, for if you do, it will lead you wherever it pleases. But rather, you should introduce some fair and noble impression to replace it, and banish this base and sordid one.--------------------If you have questions, comments, or feedback, I would love to hear from you!
