No pointless actions.
If it’s in your control, why do you do it? If it’s in someone else’s, then who are you blaming? Atoms? The gods? Stupid either way.
Blame no one. Set people straight, if you can. If not, just repair the damage. And suppose you can’t do that either. Then where does blaming people get you?
No pointless actions.
Meditations 8.17
Before dawn. A cup of coffee, the dog is fed, and I’m reading Marcus Aurelius.
I burned a few minutes of my morning fuming about politics and a dystopia I imagine to be inevitable.
Pointless.
