250406 What I learned in my studies this morning 5
Today's Meditation(s):
Letters on Ethics by Seneca, LXXXI.20 (Graver)
If I sacrifice my good name for right action, if I play the role of the villain or the buffoon or the scoundrel so as to do the right thing. . . . I don't know if I have that strength.

If I sacrifice my good name for right action, if I play the role of the villain or the buffoon or the scoundrel so as to do the right thing. . . . I don't know if I have that strength.
I hope so. I dream it so in my imagination. But I don't know what would happen in such a situation.
Premeditatio malorum indeed.
But reputation is an external, an indifferent. Could I not care? I should not care. But could I?
