Attention Today
pg.170: Stoic 6 Pack: EpictetusWhen you have said, "Tomorrow I will begin to attend"
What you are saying, in fact, is "Today I will be shameless"
disregardful of time and place and behaving mean
When you have said, "Tomorrow I will begin to attend"
it will be in the power of others to give me pain
Today I will be passionate and envious
When you have said, "Tomorrow I will begin to attend"
How many evil things are you permitting yourself to do, Today?
If it is good to use attention tomorrow,
how much better it is to do so today !!!
