“The best revenge is not to be like your enemy.”
Marcus Aurelius
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus is perhaps my favourite philosopher, he was the Roman emperor from 161 to 180 and was known as the last of the Five Good Emperors. He is known for his stoic philosophy. This quote is not so much about proportionality or justice, but it says to me “be the better person”. Only by raising the standards in ourselves, do we influence and raise the standards in others.

I truly believe that in order to get back at people who hurt you, is to live a good life, laugh lots and continue to become a better version of yourself all the time.
