Do Not Let Unkindness Disturb You | Marcus Aurelius Meditations - 1/22

Full Summary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hu0xDtK3g3Q
When someone criticises you, either they are right in which case you’ve no reason to complain, or they’re wrong, in which case they’ve made a mistake. Remember how many mistakes you’ve made in life and allow yourself to empathise with them.
By all means point out to them where they’ve gone wrong, but do so affectionately, not meanly with hatred in your heart or to impress onlookers, speak directly to them.
Remember nature gave us kindness to counter unkindness. Very few people can continue to be unkind to you if you show continued kindness to them.
“No matter what anyone says or does, my task is to be good”
If it turns out you’ve trusted an untrustworthy person, turn the reproach on yourself, the fault is yours. Remember untrustworthy, bad and even evil people exist, to expect never to encounter them is foolish.
But the evil they do only enters your soul if you do evil in return.
“The noblest kind of retribution is not to become like your enemy”
