|When you first rise in the morning tell yourself, I will encounter busybodies, ingrates, egomaniacs, liars, the jealous, and cranks. They are all stricken with these afflictions because they don’t know the difference between good and evil. Because I have understood the beauty of good and the ugliness of evil, I know that these wrong-doers are still akin to me…and that none can do me harm, or implicate me in ugliness–nor can I be angry at my relatives or hate them. For we are made for cooperation.” Marcus Aurelius, Meditations. 2.1

Thus far “the ugliness of evil” that is the trump will be in my day. Even though I can steel myself when I awake that it will be there it is still beyond my reach to not let it affect me because we are not made of cooperation.
