Dealing with Annoying People and Maintaining Character

In this chapter, they discuss a passage from Marcus Aurelius' 'Meditations' where he talks about dealing with annoying or unpleasant people. Marcus reminds himself that in life, there will always be individuals who are shameless or engage in unethical behavior. He emphasizes the importance of accepting this fact and not letting it affect one's own well-being or moral character. They also highlight the concept of not seeking revenge and how Marcus believed that the best revenge is to not become like the person who wronged you. Finally, they touch upon Marcus Aurelius' identity as a philosopher rather than solely identifying with Stoicism.
