Not Good, Nor Bad

November 4th, 2021

There is no evil in things changing, just as there is no good in persisting in a new state.

- Marcus Aurelius in Meditations, 4.42

As the election season approaches, the world stirs with the quiet gravity of change. Yet change itself is neither heavy nor light; it simply arrives. It is what it is.

Conclusion

As the authors of the "The Daily Stoic" remind us, events remain uncolored and objective. It is only our own lens that names them good or ill.

We are shaped not by the shifting tides of circumstance, but by the quiet posture of our own hearts toward them.
