The Daily Stoic: Oct 29th

"Each person acquires their own character, but their official roles are designated by chance. You should invite some people to your table because they are deserving, others because they may come to deserve it." 

Seneca


This meditation asks us to look at the character of our associates, not their material success in life. Some people can be rich or powerful or famous by chance and their character was not necessary or displayed.

It is better to associate and honor those with a good character, not those who are successful despite a dishonorable character.

I’m in Steamboat Springs - most posting begins on Sunday

 However, I had to post this. Everything is kind of poopy now (see no curse words). So I take humor were I can.
