Charlotte Bronte said,
Life appears to me.
Too short to be spent in nursing animosity or registering wrongs.
What she's saying here is reactivity Reaction to other people's actions.
Is doing nothing more than harming ourselves.
If we are to keep the walls of our inner citadel high,
If we are to protect our inner peace,
Reactivity.
.
.
Is the very antithesis of this.
The Stoic philosophers teach us that We only have two things we are in control of.
How we react to things and the protection of our virtue.
If we are to respect.
And protect our inner peace.
We have to understand that all the externals,
Everything outside of the inner citadel.
Is outside of our control We can do nothing about that.
So reacting adversely to that.
Is only attacking us.
