Say to yourself in the early morning: I shall meet today inquisitive, ungrateful, violent, treacherous, envious, uncharitable men. All these things have come upon them through ignorance of real good and ill. — Meditations, Book II

My Take – My biggest thing to work on is my inability to graciously handle people who don’t know how to act.  I have to remember that a good portion of them were never taught manners or had good examples to learn from.  For them, I try to be a good example and forgive them their ignorance.  The rest, the ones who know better but still decide to act the fool?  Well, they’re not worth the calories.
