Where it Counts (Day 232)

Inwardly, we ought to be different in every respect, but our outward dress should blend in with the crowd.”
Seneca, Moral Letters, 5.2

Appearance, whether that be made manifest through what kind of car we drive, how we groom ourselves, how we choose to dress… these things can help to make us feel great about ourselves, sure. However, these things are superficial, as is appearance itself.

Energies spent to keep up appearances could be spent where it counts…

… inward change.
