“Everything that happens is either endurable or not. If it’s endurable, then endure it. Stop complaining. If it’s unendurable…. Then stop complaining. Your destruction will mean its end as well. Just remember: you can endure anything your mind can make endurable, by treating it as in your interest to do so. In your interest, or in your nature.”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations. Book Ten, #3
Leftover notation (1):
It’s all part and parcel of being doing business in an unregulated, and basically, ungoverned business, with no guidelines. Or none that I would really adhere to, other than basic common sense.
I got feedback, from two different people at the bookstore, about something that occurred a few weeks ago, on my last visit. What was weird, the feedback was equally good and bad, or damning and affirming.
Same complaint about me, only, in one case, I was praised for handling a situation and in another, I was slapped (metaphor) for the same response. One incident, two different opinions.
Just weird, that’s all – don’t you hate that?
Leftover notation (2):
Kevin Fowler: “We play this song, well, I’m up here, and I like Charlie Daniels so I get to play the song.”
Fishing:
Between appointments, meetings and other duties, like the current audio/video message, there was a chance to fish. What was hurting me the most, though, there was a much larger fish chasing, but not taking, the bait. But some days, any fish is better than no fish.
