⚡️💬 We must never come to quarrels and fights; we must keep our steps away from them; we must not take into account the way in which, in cases of this kind, inconsiderate people act (for these quarrels are only the work of inconsiderate people). The compliments of the vulgar and his insults must be put on the same line; we must not grieve over the one, nor rejoice over the other. What's more, if we fear or resent insults, we fail to do many necessary things;
To endure nothing is not freedom - we are mistaken. Freedom consists in placing our soul above insults, in making ourselves such that the reasons for rejoicing come from ourselves alone, in turning external things away from ourselves so that we don't have to lead the worrying life of a man who fears everyone's laughter and tongues.
Not to be defeated, to be someone against whom Fortune can do nothing, is to belong to the republic of the human race.
Good Night Nostr.
