Today’s Stoic
When someone steals your lamp, remember that he gave it up for a thief.
What it means today
The thief paid a heavy price — his own integrity — for a lamp. Pity the exchange, and the loss of the lamp stings less. The thing stolen was cheap; the thing he paid was not.
Try this todayWhen someone wrongs you over something small, see the larger price they paid.
