Saw this quote today…

Take away your opinion, and then there is taken away the complaint, “I have been harmed.”

Take away the complaint, “I have been harmed,” and the harm is taken away.

— Marcus Aurelius, Meditations IV.7

What a wonderful sentiment. We often hurt ourselves with our opinions. Remove the opinions, remove the hurt. Most of our misery is imagined and self-created. If only we had the strength to look beyond them and help ourselves.
