“Keep in mind that what injures you is not people who are rude or aggressive but your opinion that they are injuring you. So whenever someone provokes you, be aware that the provocation really comes from your own judgement. Start, then, by trying not to get carried away by the impression. Once you pause and give yourself time, you will more easily control yourself.”

—Epictetus, //Encheiridion// 20 (arranged by Arrian) (tr. [[/content/source-selections#long_a_2018|Long, A., 2018]])
