A MEDITATION

“ If it is not fitting, do not do it; if it is not true, do not say it.

— Marcus Aurelius

A one-line ethics: act only in the fitting, speak only the true. Try it for a day and watch how much of your life was scaffolding you didn't need. The house standing underneath is smaller, cleaner, and yours.
