Thank you, this post and the video it is very thought provoking. In this period of quarantine I too have found myself reading a fair bit of scripture and quotes myself (along with reading junk food science fiction). I've been leaning towards stoic writings predominately. Myself I have found that the simple act of pausing and thinking before I speak and act keeps my world peaceful. Also from working in a bar and in the night time economy I always found myself in arguments and confrontations of which many I created due to my own ego. Removing myself from my interactions has truly helped me become a more peaceful man. Anyways I hope your evening of food with good friends goes well mate. (oh yea reblogged/Hived/steemed this too)
It is amazing what pausing will do. Inserting a break between taking in information and letting out a response.
