Further Reflections<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

48:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Control what you can control well.
Ignore what you cannot control at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

49:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Learn to choose better.
Learn to reject better too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

50:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Others’ opinions are just their opinions.
Your opinions are just your opinions too.
Make sure they align with truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

51:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

There are worldly desires
that lead to more worldly desires.
There are spiritual desires
that lead to less worldly desires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

52:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Only have aversion towards impurity,
so as to be attracted to purity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

53:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Our bodies, things and reputation
do not truly belong to us,
or we would never be sick,
lose things and be spoken ill of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, to be more free,
take reasonable care of them,
but be less attached to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

54:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

You cannot change all things now,
but you can decide how to view them now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

55:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

To be as powerful as you can,
take full control of your choices
by choosing well,
with as much compassion and wisdom as you have.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
