Stoic Thought of the Day — Day 58
On receiving bad news, it does no good for anyone, yourself or your listener, to complain about the news with no real purpose to your show of emotion. Your purpose should be to do something to help yourself and those that are the bearers of the bad news. If you complain, that only hurts yourself and those around you. Your first obligation in all situations is to self, then to family, then to country.
