← mind

When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: The people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous and surly. They are this way because they cannot tell good from evil. But I have seen the beauty of good, and the ugliness of evil, and I recognize that the wrongdoer has a nature related to my own.

— Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
