Make it good. Marcus Aurelius 4.42
The events of
change, or evolution, are not good or bad, for Stoics like Marcus
Aurelius. They are merely indifferent: it is our attitude that
converts them to evil or good. The Stoic sage, by having a thoroughly
good character, makes everything he meets into good.
Τοῖς ἐν
μεταβολῇ γινομένοις οὐδέν ἐστι κακόν,
ὡς οὐδὲ ἀγαθὸν τοῖς ἐκ μεταβολῆς
ὑφισταμένοις.
Among the outcomes
of change there is nothing bad, even as there is nothing good among
them.
