211130 What I learned in my studies this morning 2

The end of a month
Calls melancholy to play.
Many acts today.

Daily Stoic:


Following Nature, using my natural Reason to guide me, offers both active and passive rewards.  Actively, it allows me to navigate difficult situations with less trouble and more consistent success than if I were to give my emotional reactions to events free rein.  Passively, it provides a baseline from which my life can proceed more easily to happiness, resolution, capable decisions, loyal relations, and much more.

When I follow my emotional impulses, it rarely ends well.  Hasty assumptions, conflict caused by misunderstanding, hurt feelings, even just simple errors of fact catch me by surprise because I am operating without guidance: I am reacting instead of acting.

Time to act better.
