What's your take on this quote from Marcus Aurelius; "Take away the complaint, 'I have been harmed' and the harm is taken away"?

1 Answer

Answer :

Nothing is good or bad but thinking makes it so. ~ Shakespeare. It is disturbing but there’s so much truth to it. A man is a terrorist to one group and a hero to another. If one in the group he terrorized, understands the history that went into the making of the hatred behind the harm, he can be more forgiving than those who don’t know or understand why they are being terrorized. It’s said that you can only forgive what you can understand.
