Neither seek nor avoid, take what comes.
It is liberty to be affected by nothing; do not merely endure, be unattached.
Remember the story of the bull. A mosquito sat long on the horn of a certain bull. Then his conscience troubled him, and he said, "Mr. Bull, I have been sitting here a long time, perhaps I annoy you. I am sorry, I will go away."
But the bull replied, "Oh no, not at all! Bring your whole family and live on my horn; what can you do to me?"
