"Begin
each day by telling yourself: Today I shall be meeting with interference,
ingratitude, insolence, disloyalty, ill will, and selfishness-all of them due
to the offenders' ignorance of what is good or evil. But for my part I have
long perceived the nature of good and its nobility, the nature of evil and its
meanness, and also the nature of the culprit himself, who is my brother;
therefore none of those things can injure me, for nobody can implicate me in
what is degrading"
Marcus Aurelius (To Himself, II.1)
