Quote of the Day

A branch cut off from the adjacent branch must of necessity be cut off from the whole tree. So too a man when he is separated from another man has fallen off from the whole social community.” And “a man…separates himself from this neighbor when he hates him and turns away from him, and he does not know that he has at the same time cut himself off from the whole social system.” It is difficult to be “brought to unity” and “restored” afterward.

- Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
