The Faith & Politics Institute's Weekly Reflection

Submitted by secretary on October 14, 2007 - 2:30am.

For the Week of June 19, 2006

People try to get away from it all- to the country, to the beach, to the mountains. You always wish you could too. Which is idiotic: you can get away from it anytime you like.

By going within.

Nowhere you can go is more peaceful- more free of interruptions- than your own soul. Especially if you have other things to rely on. An instant's recollection and there it is: complete tranquility. And by tranquility I mean a kind of harmony.

So keep going away from it all- like that. Renew yourself. But keep it brief and basic. A quick visit should be enough to ward off all..and send you back ready to face what awaits you.

What's there to complain about? People's misbehavior? But take into consideration:

• that rational beings exist for one another;
• that doing what's right sometimes requires patience;
• that no one does the wrong thing deliberately;
• and the number of people who have feuded and envied and hated and fought and died and been buried.

.and then keep your mouth shut.

So keep this refuge in mind: the back roads of your self. Above all, no strain and no stress. Be straightforward. Look at things like a human being, like a citizen, like a mortal. And among the things you turn to, these thoughts:

• that things have no hold on the soul. They stand there unmoving, outside of it
• that disturbance comes only from within-from our own perceptions
• that everything you see will soon alter and cease to exist

--Marcus Aurelius
