220424 What I learned in my studies this morning 2*

What of virtue, then? 
Creatures scurry in the dark, 
Follow nature's path. 

Daily Stoic:


It's just a room. That grand hall hosting the drancy fess ball. Walls, carpet or wood or stone on the floor. Paintings or paper on the wall. A/C vents and electrical outlets and a janitor's closet down the hall to the left. 

It's just a stadium. That championship site. With stinking toilets and rude cashiers and other fans who yell in your ear the whole time rooting for the wrong team. 

It's just a person. That Supreme High Poohbah looking so impressive up on the TV screen. They eat french fries and throw up when ill and snore at night. 

Strip away the trappings and there's nothing so much different from who I am and where I live. 

We're all just human.
