“Don’t allow yourself to be heard any longer griping about public life, not even with your own ears!”Marcus Aurelius
In modern life, we often find ourselves complaining about politics and public affairs. Instead of constantly grumbling about it, we can choose to focus on what we can control, like engaging in constructive conversations, voting, or even running for office if we feel called to do so.
Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.
Temperance calls for self-control and moderation in our thoughts and actions. By refraining from constant complaints and negativity about public life, we can cultivate a mindset of peace and contentment. James 1:12 speaks of the blessing for those who persevere under trial, reminding us to approach challenges with resilience and grace.
