231106 What I learned in my studies this morning 3

Staying in my lane.
Remembering my right place.
Ego under wraps.

Today's Meditation(s):

'Nothing in life is permanent. Everything in life is transitory. Accept that change is coming and live fully in this moment.'

Very Stoic here. Tolstoy echos Epictetus and many others who advised us to look to our own faults rather than find fault in others. Biblical, too. Motes, eyes, beams.

It's a way that can help me relate better to others. If I get full of myself and think I'm better than someone else, that they're not as good as me, but I bring to mind all the times I've been rude or ignorant or petty or aggressive or any of 'the 10,000 things' . . . .

I am part and parcel of everyone else. Or similarities outweigh our differences.
