Misery from bad to worse.
Prescription? Don't scratch.
"What I hear, I forget. What I see, I remember. What I do, I understand." Xunzi (340 - 245 BC)
From The Daily Stoic:
"What I hear, I forget. What I see, I remember. What I do, I understand." Xunzi (340 - 245 BC)
I am an auditory learner. If I hear it, I am more likely to remember it. If I say it, I am even more likely to remember.
Even though this is my primary learning path, I still understand that doing takes it one step further and cements it in my mind.
Today's Meditation:
A Calendar of Wisdom by Leo Tolstoy
From A Guide to the Good Life by William B. Irvine
Chapter 8: Meditation — Watching Ourselves Practice Stoicism
The final bit of this section reminds me that my practice of philosophy is an ongoing process.
No one is perfect. No one can be on 100% of the time. I must forgive myself my trespasses and learn from them.
If Ifail today, I will do better tomorrow.
