On Virtue and Mattering

My final thoughts of 2023 are not a reflection on the year that was, for that is done, but a desire and focus for 2024.

“The human being is born with an inclination toward virtue.”

The words of Musonius Rufus. See p. 324, The Daily Stoic.

We are born good. The world turns us otherwise. Externalities have corrupted our internal nature.
