Take away thy opinion, and then there is taken away the complaint, “I have been harmed.” Take away the complaint, “I have been harmed,” and the harm is taken away. That which does not make a man worse than he was, also does not make his life worse, nor does it harm him either from without or from within.
– Marcus Aurelius
(Last post was on emo music, now stoicism. Make of it what you will.)
The bicycle has become my refuge. Most mornings I leave in the pre-dawn twilight of 7 am and ride about 20 miles. When I have the time, I go longer. I weigh 200 lbs for the first time in over 20 years.
