Marcus Aurelius
Meditations - Pg.17
Dont worry about thy neighbor!
How much trouble (s)he avoids
who does not look to see
What her neighbor - says or does or thinks (or feels)
but only to what she does herself
(only) that it may be Just and Pure!
As Agathon says :
Look not (a)round at the depraved morals of others
But run straight along the line without deviating from it!
My Notes: geometry analogy : point and line
Have a singular purpose : a point
Keep running towards that point along the straight line
. guard-railed by Principles!
If possible , take people along with you!
If not move on - without moan, groan or complaint!
