221218 What I learned in my studies this morning 3

Differences tell

Tales of praise and blame untrue.

Just live. And do right.

Daily Stoic:

I referenced this the other day, Alexander and his mule-tender.

If I am powerful, a world-beater, a God among men.... If I am dust, the lowest of the low, the depths beneath which humanity should ne'er delve.... There's so little distance between them.

We exist in the smallest of ranges.

We live in a tiny temperature spectrum of a few hundred degrees on the lowest end from a hundred degrees or so below Zero* to 10s of billions above.

We are of a size restricted to a meter or two, even the outliers are within 1 or 2 of each other toward the lower end of possibilities from a few millimeters* to billions of light-years.

We crawl through a universe that has speeds from light speed to our galaxy moving at 2.1M km / hour to our own planet tracing its path at 30 km / sec.

Nothing is as different in our lives and we think it is. The highest glory and the most abject humiliation still lie in a limited window.

Don't worry about it. Do my work. Do the right thing and let the rest handle itself.
