It’s a disgrace in this life when the soul surrenders first while the body refuses to.”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 6.29
The signs of a soul that’s given up are over-abundant anger, ever-present bitterness, and mouths full of only complaints and reason why failure is a foregone conclusion. These souls have constant grievances with life, and see every challenge as a personal attack and crisis. These souls have lost sight of the world-at-large because they’re too busy rummaging about in the land of ego.
What about the signs of souls that haven’t given up? Kindness and compassion in action, and potential and possibility in speech. Success is boundless, and as such, can always be found. Life is a blessing and wonder, and meant to be understood. Ego, while present, is meant to be avoided… why?
Because it’s what causes an otherwise healthy soul to surrender.
