There is a passage in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali that could be interpreted like this:
To attain peace of mind, cultivate these four attitudes:
- be friendly to those who are successful
- be compassionate to those who are suffering
- be happy for those who are virtuous
- don’t let the wicked disturb you
As with Sanskrit, which emphasizes sounds and is especially melodic, our interpretation of success, suffering, virtue and wickedness and our reaction towards those qualities can be creative too :)
But nevertheless, If you are true to yourself, I think this is good advice, not only general but also here on Nostr.
