When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: The people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous, and surly.

But I have seen the beauty of good, and the ugliness of evil, and have recognized that the wrongdoer has a nature related to my own — not of the same blood or birth, but of the same mind, and possessing a share of the divine. And so none of them can hurt me. No one can implicate me in ugliness. Nor can I feel angry at my relative, or hate him.

To feel anger at someone, to turn your back on him: these are obstructions. — Marcus Aurelius

Have you seen how fish are able to swim in a school so precisely relating to their fish-fellows and never clumsily bump into one another?
