Stoic Conversations 34


"You need to learn to walk away from the people who hurt you, learn not to care about them anymore. Then you will heal yourself."

"Walk away from them? Not care from them? Isn't that doing exactly what they did to me? There's a big difference between not letting someone else rule me and treating them poorly. Why does my healing require neglecting them?"

"Yes, but this is about you, not them. You are your first priority."

"And here I thought it was about learning to love without conditions, about all of us."
