A MEDITATION

“ The happiness of those who want to be popular depends on others; the happiness of those who seek pleasure fluctuates with moods outside their control; but the happiness of the wise grows out of free acts.

— Marcus Aurelius

A reflection

Three sources of happiness; only one is yours. Popularity and pleasure are weather; free action is the roof. Build under the roof.
