Selecting an agent to represent you is harder than writing a book. Find ten books like yours, then find the agents that represented them, then their contact info, then submit and pray. Mass market books are basically controlled by 5 (or 4) companies.
Seneca told his friend Lucilius, “You should keep learning…to the end of your life.” The same must be true for us. Let us never stop striving to not only know more, but to become better, wiser, and more virtuous individuals.
The most untrustworthy people are always the ones that virtue signal constantly.
They know they’re rotten to the bone but they keep trying to project an image of being morally correct.
They’re not trying to convince you, they’re trying to convince themselves.
Keep them at bay.
I can't control the other person's behavior, but I can control my response. Their actions may be rude or unacceptable, but I still want my response to be measured and thoughtful. Even if they aren't doing what is right, I still want to make sure I'm doing what is right.
