neither pursuing nor avoiding things

posted in Uncategorized on August 23, 2025 by Brian


 

Your peace of mind

is disturbed by the pursuit or avoidance

of things, but these things don’t force themselves on you;

in a sense, you force yourself on them. At any rate, if your faculty

of judgment doesn’t trouble itself with them, they too

will remain inert, and evidently you’ll

be neither pursuing nor

avoiding them.

 

Marcus Aurelius
