Rational human agency. Marcus Aurelius 5.34
Be
good. Do good. And then let go. This is the way.
Δύνασαι
ἀεὶ εὐροεῖν, εἴ γε καὶ εὐοδεῖν, εἴ
γε καὶ ὁδῷ ὑπολαμβάνειν καὶ πράσσειν.
δύο ταῦτα κοινὰ τῇ τε τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ
τῇ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου καὶ παντὸς λογικοῦ
ζῴου ψυχῇ· τὸ μὴ ἐμποδίζεσθαι ὑπ’
ἄλλου καὶ τὸ ἐν τῇ δικαϊκῇ διαθέσει
καὶ πράξει ἔχειν τὸ ἀγαθὸν καὶ ἐνταῦθα
τὴν ὄρεξιν ἀπολήγειν.
You
can always flow well with the current of events, if life offers free
passage—if you have room to act and undertake things on the road
that we must walk. Two features are common to the life we humans
share with gods and all rational animals: (i) no individual is
effectively impeded by the action of another, and (ii) everything
good arises from cultivating a just character, expressing it in just
action, and then ceasing to strive or long for anything more.
