240323 What I learned in my studies this morning 4

Today's Meditation(s):

That last sentence is the best of the bunch.

The first two are SOP 'practice moderation' principles found in many moral guides. That last one, though, that last one steps just a little bit out of line to emphasize humility, that I should deliberately remain silent about my own efforts.

I'm not supposed to do this because anyone will care, for or agin. I'm supposed to do it because it's the right thing to do.

Unless I'm training my child, and using my action as example, why would I want to tell people about how I've lived temperately? Especially when I too damn often fail to do so?
