Today's Meditation(s): Meditations , 4.8 (Hicks and Hicks) What a timely reminder of first principles. If it doesn't touch my inner self, if there's no connection to virtue and morality, then it is incidental, accidental; perhaps worth accounting for in my life, but not at the cost of my virtue. Stay true to my reason and follow Nature. Thus will I know what (general) moral path to take to achieve my (by best chance at) desired results while ensuring I remain true to (my pursuit of) virtue. If it takes me off my path, that is the only true harm. Whether I achieve that path, is another matter. It is enough that I know how to do the best I can with what I have, where I am. My struggle is generally one of performance, not perception:  I see the right path, but do not choose it.
