220227 What I learned in my studies this morning 2

There's a reason, a call, 

Something in the mist, leading 
From error to Tao.

Daily Stoic: 

Good / virtue

Bad / vice

Indifferents / preferred, dispreferred

Having preferred indifferents is fine. Letting them have me, control me or influence me past a duty to be virtuous, is not. 

At any point, I must be ready to abandon the indifferents to steady my aim. When the arrow flies, I must be content that I did all I can to hit the mark — whether or not it strikes true is beyond my control — but if my aim is off due to my pursuit of indifferents, that's on me.
