Not an embarrassing thing. Not an offense to reason, or our
nature.
- That sort of person is bound to do that. You might as well
resent a fig tree for secreting juice. (Anyway, before very
long you’ll both be dead—dead and soon forgotten.) - Choose not to be harmed—and you won’t feel harmed.
Don’t feel harmed—and you haven’t been.- It can ruin your life only if it ruins your character.
Otherwise it cannot harm you—inside or out. - It was for the best. So Nature had no choice but to do it.
- That every event is the right one. Look closely and you’ll
see.
Not just the right one overall, but right. As if someone had
weighed it out with scales.
Keep looking closely like that, and embody it in your
actions: goodness—what defines a good person.
Keep to it in everything you do.- Not what your enemy sees and hopes that you will, but
what’s really there.
