What I must do is all that concerns me, not what the people think.
This rule,equally arduous in actual and intellectual life, may serve for the whole distinctionbetween greatness and meanness.
It is the harder, because you will always find those who think they know what is your duty better than you know it.
It is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great person is one who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.
Its extremely difficult to endure 8 hours of everyday with someone whom u cannot trust, someone whom u think u can believe in but not anymore, someone who is a 2 headed snake, someone who brings u down in front of his superior, someone who uses u to his advantage, someone who pretends to be YOUR friend but actually is NOT.
However hard it may be, life still goes on. I am entitled to my own opinions and emotions. I may get mad for a period of time, but recover quickly I must.
He is also entitled to do what he must, bad or …… bad. I believe in Karma. What goes around comes around. Whatever good things he does to people, it will come around. Whatever bad will too. I just hope it comes around FASTER.
Whatever it is, I choose my emotions for today. Despite the hardship and the hypocrisy going on every single day of my life, I definitely will choose if i am gonna stay mad at it or just wait, smile, and see when its "coming around" back to him. The perfect sweetness of independence of solitude.
