VIR-III-0008
“I did something good and nobody noticed — and that's okay.”
This is the clearest expression of virtue there is — doing right when there's no audience and no reward. If you need someone to notice before an action has value, you're doing it for the wrong reason. You noticed. That's enough.
Your Practice
Write it down privately — what you did and why it was right. No audience required. This is a record of who you actually are, not who you perform to be. Return to it when you need reminding.
The Architects
“Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.”
— Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, Book VII
