Dealing with Pain
pg.42 Marcus Aurelius - MeditationsIn every pain, let this thought be present
there is no dishonor in it;
nor does it make the governing intelligence worse!
for it does not damage rational intelligence!
As Epicurus said: Pain is neither intolerable nor everlasting
Pain has its limits
as long as you add nothing to it
by your own imagination!
pain is something you can compare to:
excessive drowsiness, scorching heat, or having no appetite!
Remember the above: as you are about to yield to Pain!
