“The wise person is like a dog leashed to a moving cart, running joyfully alongside and smoothly keeping pace with it, whereas a foolish person is like a dog that grumbly struggles against the leash but finds himself dragged alongside the cart anyway.
We can’t change what happens to us in life. So the smartest thing is to accept rather than fight every little thing that happens to us. We’re like that dog leashed to a cart: we’re only as free as the length of the leash. Therefore we rather enjoy the journey than getting dragged along.
To resent what happens is to wrongly assume you have a choice in that matter. “
How brilliant it is!
I am in love with this little stoicism book! More to come~
