One of my favorite Marcus Aurelius quote is
"Leave the harm done by other where it started."
Excluding self defense, I wonder if this can be applied to nations too.
- em500 6y agoAlan Kay has noted that vendettas are a human universal [1]: they arises naturally in any human society everywhere on the globe and in history. Rule of law is not a human universal, it requires conscious effort and continuous maintenance.
