    "It is my bad luck that this has happened to me. No, you should rather say: It is my good luck that, although this has happened to me, I can bear it without pain, neither crushed by the present nor fearful of the future. Because such a thing could have happened to any man, but not every man could have borne it without pain.
    So why see more misfortune in the event than good fortune in your ability to bear it? Or in general would you call anything a misfortune for a man which is not a deviation from man's nature? Or anything a deviation from man's nature which is not contrary to the purpose of his nature? Well, then. You have learnt what that purpose is. Can there be anything then, in this happening which prevents you being just, high-minded, self-controlled intelligent, judicious, truthful, honorable and free - or any other of those attributes whose combination is the fulfillment of man's proper nature?
    So, in all future events which might induce sadness remember to call on this principle: this is no misfortune, but to bear it true to yourself in good fortune."

    -Marcus Aurelius-

    If you love someone, it's better to show them that, than it is to tell them.
    If you stop loving someone, its better to tell them that, than it is to show them.
