220930 What I learned in my studies this morning 2

Halfway along roads
Not meant for human travail.
The mind's eyes reflect.

Daily Stoic:

Bodies can be hijacked. Minds can remain free.

It is possible that a mind can be subverted, today's advances in psychology offer myriad ingenious and diabolical means to convince people of things which are either not the case or which, on more clear reflection, a person might understand is not in their desires or best interests.

My job is to keep my mind focused on the task at hand: do the right thing, be a good person, follow Nature, help others.

If I can do that, I will not be overthrown, regardless of what they do to me physically.
