"Begin the morning by saying to thyself: I shall meet with the busybody, the ungrateful, arrogant, deceitful, envious, unsocial. All these things happen to them by reason of their ignorance of what is good and evil. But I, who have seen the nature of the good, that it is beautiful, and of the bad, that it is ugly, and the nature of him who does wrong that it is akin to me (not only of the same blood or seed, but that it participates in the same intelligence, and the same portion of the divinity), I can neither be harmed by any of them, for no man can involve me in wrong, nor can I be angry with my kinsman or hate him; for we have come into the world to work together, like feet, like hands, like eyelids, like the rows of upper and lower teeth. To work against one another therefore is contrary to nature, and it is acting against one another to be vexed or to turn away."- Marcus Aurelius (Meditations Book 2)
