"Waking up in the morning, I remember: The people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous, and selfish - ignorant of good or evil. But I have seen the beauty of good, and the ugliness of evil, and have recognized that the wrongdoer is not of the same blood or birth, but endowed with the same reason and share of the divine as I. And so none can hurt me with an attempt to implicate me in this ugliness."
(Marcus Aurelius, Meditations)
