After I read Stoicism Lite, there are one part I really love. According to the book, it said " What you shun enduring yourself, attempt not to impose on others. You shun slavery—beware of enslaving others! If you can endure to do that, one would thing you had been once upon a time a slave yourself. For Vice has nothing in common with virtue, nor Freedom with slavery" That's a great idea. Enduring is really hard. You might suffer from pain, anger, sadness and so on. However, we still can't impose all the negative action or attitude on others. Which is right that when you copy your negative feeling to others, it will also return to yourself. Gradually, you will feel like you are slaving by yourself. In the last sentence, it also shows the truth that virtue and vice can not live together.
I remember when I went to cam school five years ago. A teacher told students that " You are what you do. Don't say how people judge you. You are what you do,again." Her speech woke up me. I always do my best to make everything perfect because I don't want people especially the older to talk about my shortcoming. Finally, I just feel that the teacher's speech is very useful in the rest of my life.
