Proverbs 18:19

A brother offended is more difficult than a fortified city. Disputes are like the bars of a fortress. This verse reveals the deep pain and resistance that comes from broken relationships. When someone is wounded, especially by a close friend or family member, their heart can become like a fortified city, guarded and difficult to reach. Betrayal builds walls that are far harder to tear down than physical barriers. This verse reminds us to handle relationships with care, humility, and wisdom, […]

Mark 11:9

Those who went in front and those who followed cried out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! In this verse the crowds cry out in celebration as Jesus Christ enters Jerusalem, shouting “Hosanna!* Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” This moment reveals both joy and expectation, people welcoming a Savior, yet not fully understanding His mission.

A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

   Wherein, then, is your grievance? You are not ejected from the city [life] by any unjust judge or tyrant, but by the selfsame Nature which brought you into it; just as when an actor is dismissed by the manager who engaged him.
   “But I have played no more than three of the five acts.” Just so; in your drama of life, three acts are all the play. Its point of completeness is determined by him who formerly sanctioned your creation, and today sanctions your dissolution. Neither of those decisions lay within yourself.
   Pass on your way, then, with a smiling face, under the smile of him who bids you go.
 
[τί οὖν δεινόν, εἰ τῆς πόλεως ἀποπέμπει σε οὐ τύραννος οὐδὲ δικαστὴς ἄδικος, ἀλλ̓ ἡ φύσις ἡ εἰσαγαγοῦσα, οἷον εἰ κωμῳδὸν ἀπολύοι τῆς σκηνῆς ὁ παραλαβὼν στρατηγός;—ἀλλ̓ οὐκ εἶπον τὰ πέντε μέρη, ἀλλὰ τὰ τρία.—καλῶς εἶπας: ἐν μέντοι τῷ βίῳ τὰ τρία ὅλον τὸ δρᾶμά ἐστι. τὸ γὰρ τέλειον ἐκεῖνος ὁρίζει ὁ τότε μὲν τῆς συγκρίσεως. νῦν δὲ τῆς διαλύσεως αἴτιος: σὺ δὲ ἀναίτιος ἀμφοτέρων. ἄπιθι οὖν ἵλεως: καὶ γὰρ ὁ ἀπολύων ἵλεως.]

Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 12, ch. 36 (12.36) (AD 161-180) [tr. Staniforth (1964)]

Le #courage #managerial du manager à qui la #direction demande de partir qui, avant de prendre la porte, laisse une évaluation annuelle très négatives sur son assistante, qui est arrêt de travail.🤬
La voilà maintenant de retour, à devoir défendre son cas devant un n+2 qui est dans un autre pays, qui l'a mal notée sans la connaître ni l'avoir jamais vue, uniquement sur la base des commentaires négatifs laissés par l'autre raclure qui a pris la porte.
