A MEDITATION

“ The virtuous are free; the wicked are slaves.

— Zeno of Citium

Fragment, in Diogenes Laertius 7.121

A reflection

Legal status is one thing; inner status is another. A vicious person is a slave to their compulsions no matter their paperwork; a virtuous person is free even in chains. Audit which one you are, then worry about the labels.
