A Year of Contemplation

Revenge is a Dish best Not Served (Day 286)

10/13/2019

 
Vengeance wastes a lot of time and exposes you to many more injuries than the first that sparked it. Anger always outlasts hurt. Best to take the opposite course. Would anyone think it normal to return a kick to a mule or a bite to a dog?”
Seneca, On Anger, 3.27.2

​Be the person the dishonest don’t believe exists: an honest & integrity-filled person. 

Be the person the miserly don’t believe exists: a hospitable & generous person. 

Be the person the cruel don’t believe exists: a kind & compassionate person. 

Don’t prove them right. 

(See y’all tomorrow)

    About the Blog

    Awakening the desire to explore Stoicism, and how it relates to his existing beliefs, Rev. William committed to working through the text, The Daily Stoic, a year-long journey to awaken the Stoic mind. 
    How things are structured can be found in the first post.

Currently residing in Longmont, CO, he is one of the Priests and founder of Mountain Ancestors Grove.  He spends his time playing mandolin (and some guitar), writing, engaging in LGBTQIA+ advocacy and education, community service, and sharing a larger vision of how a polytheist perspective can lead to greater human understanding, acceptance, and gods be good, peace.
