Slow cat weaves around

Promising soft fur and purrs. 

Tempting. Denying. 

Today's Mediation:

From The Daily Stoic:

Why, when I realize before, during, and after that I don't even know those people, not truly. 

And when I understand that their approval or disapproval means nothing to my life, not truly. 

And yet I give away pieces of my life in such pursuits. Why?
