Amor fati. Marcus Aurelius 4.44
See
order and beauty in nature, even when bad things occur. Don't
cultivate a sense of wonder that requires you to cling or cleave too
desperately. Don't chase or flee anything merely because it's natural. Pursuit and avoidance require more information.
Πᾶν
τὸ συμβαῖνον οὕτως σύνηθες καὶ γνώριμον
ὡς τὸ ῥόδον ἐν τῷ ἔαρι καὶ ὀπώρα ἐν
τῷ θέρει· τοιοῦτον γὰρ καὶ νόσος καὶ
θάνατος καὶ βλασφημία καὶ ἐπιβουλὴ
καὶ ὅσα τοὺς μωροὺς εὐφραίνει ἢ
λυπεῖ.
Every
event that occurs is as normal and notable as the rose in spring, or
the fruit in summer. Disease, death, slander, plots, everything that
cheers or grieves the morons: they are all like this.
