A Year of Contemplation

The Supreme Court of Your Mind (Day 227)

8/15/2019

... Virtue is the only good; there is no certain good without virtue; and virtue resides in our nobler part, which is the rational one.”
Seneca, Moral Letters, 71.32

Out of the Supreme Court, we expect truth to be represented in our legal decisions and precedent setting cases. Additionally, we expect the judgements to be as steadfast as long-lasting as possible. While we may expect these things, we don’t necessarily always get the results we’re expecting. 

When it comes to our own minds, however, as long we can remain disciplined and consistent in our good actions, honest feelings, and expansive, inclusive thoughts, we can expect truth and steadfast judgements to pour forth from them. 

At the end of things, when accounts are being tallied, the total sum of who we are will be measured in the actions we choose, the impulses we chose to act upon that launched those actions, and the necessary reflection we choose to take after each action. We are our reflected mind, our impulses, AND our actions… 

… so build honest, reality-based relationships with those elements of yourself.

(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.
