20 claps - worthy write up.
I do have a fav Stoic credence - The way is always difficult; Paraphrased.

Marcis Augustus Arellius ifon status was that he shifted as the last emperor of Rome or should I say the last emperor who saw humans as more.

I personally live by the following philosophy

Always do your best
Be impeccable in your word
Do not take anything personally
Do not make assumptions
Be Skeptical
Have Emotional Intelligence

Wonder if you know where 4 of these 5 come from 😊

Peace Resepect Forward
