"Be Tolerant with others and strict with Yourself:
Marcus Aurelius
The above quote attributed to Marcus Aurelius, the Stoic philosopher and Roman Emperor, encapsulates a profound principle of self-discipline and empathy. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining a balance between understanding and accepting the differences in others while holding oneself to high standards of behavior and moral integrity.
To be tolerant with others means to practice patience, understanding, and acceptance toward people whose beliefs, actions, or perspectives may differ from our own. It promotes harmony and peaceful coexistence, fostering a compassionate society. Other people's behaviours are beyond our control so we can just be tolerant of their differences compared to us. On the other hand, being strict on oneself implies adhering to a strong moral code, exercising self-control, and continuously striving for personal improvement. It advocates self-awareness and accountability, encouraging individuals to reflect on their actions critically.
This quote urges individuals to cultivate empathy and kindness in their interactions with others, fostering a harmonious environment, while also promoting self-discipline and continuous self-improvement. By following this principle, one can contribute positively to both their personal growth and the well-being of the community they are a part of.
