251121 What I learned in my studies this morning 6

Today's Meditation(s):

Meditations 2.1

After his list of people and virtues in the first book, what's the first thing Marcus does in book 2?

People are annoying and do wrong. But . . . understand them, forgive and correct them, connect with them, live and work in harmony with them.

It starts out so negative and condemning of people we deal with all the time, normal people, everyday people. Then it pivots to all the reasons to be patient with them and let it slide.

("I gotta admit, they had us in the first half.....")

Good thoughts to keep in mind when I meet them in my own life.
