\u201cWhen people injure you, ask yourself what good or harm they thought would come of it. If you understand that, you\u2019ll feel sympathy rather than outrage or anger. Your sense of good and evil may be the same as theirs, or near it, in which case you have to excuse them. Or your sense of good and evil may differ from theirs. In which case they\u2019re misguided and deserve your compassion. Is that so hard?\u201d

\u2014 Marcus Aurelius, Meditations: A New Translation (7:26)
