We must remember this clearly, that man measures his every action by his impressions; of course they may be good or bad: if good, he is free from reproach; if bad, he pays the penalty in his own person, for it is impossible for one to be deluded and another to suffer for it. The man who remembers this, I say, will be angry with no one, indignant with no one, revile none, blame none, hate none, offend none.
~Epictetus

If one is in pain then one is injured.
If one is suffering then one is deluded.

I use to suffer that people weren't what I expected them to be. My delusion was I could control what people chose to be. I realize now I have no control over others, only control over myself, and that choices made, define a person.

What delusions are you suffering today?
