240528 What I learned in my studies this morning 4*

Today's Meditation(s):

Discourses, 2.11.24-25 (Waterfield)

Continuing about the beginning of philosophy, philosophy is learning to judge things properly.  Do this well and I live a good life. Do this poorly and I become a drag not only on myself but on others as well.

Why? Because if I am going to spend my time and effort on helping society and my people, misjudging how to do so will make me either inefficient, incapable, or downright detrimental.
