Inspiration for today:
The Eight Winds
: “
Worthy persons deserve to be called so
because they are not carried away by the
eight winds: prosperity, decline, disgrace,
honor, praise, censure, suffering, and
pleasure. They are neither elated by
prosperity nor grieved by decline. The
heavenly gods will surely protect one who
is unbending before the eight winds. But if
you nurse an unreasonable grudge against
your lord, they will not protect you, not for
all your prayers” (
WND
, p. 794).
