132 MARCUS ANTONINUS BOOK 18 Penetrate to men's Inner Selves, and you will see what judges you fear, and how they judge themselves. 19 Everything is in change. You yourself are undergoing continuous variation, and piecemeal destruction. So is the world at large. 20 Another's error let it lie. 21 In cessation of action, in surcease of impulse or of judgment, in what may be termed their death, there is no evil. Retraverse the stages of growth, childhood, boyhood, youth, age each one of them a change, a death. Is there any- thing to be afraid of? Or retraverse the periods of life, first under your grandfather, then under your mother, then your father. Gather up all the many phases and changes and cessations of experience, and then ask yourself, Is there any- thing to be afraid of? No more is there in the cessation, the surcease, the change from life itself. 22 Press straight to the Inner Self your own, the world's, your neighbour's. Your own, that you may make of it a true vessel of justice ; the world's, that you may bear in mind of what you are a part ; your neighbour's, that you may under-
ix TO HIMSELF 133 stand whether it is ignorance or knowledge, and may hood. take into account the bond of brother- You are part of a social whole, a factor 23 necessary to complete the sum ; therefore your every action should help to complete the social life. Any action of yours that does not tend, directly or remotely, to this social end, dislocates life and infringes its unity. It is an act of sedition, and like some separatist doing what he can to break away from civic accord. Children's squabbles, a stage farce, and "poor 24 breath carrying a corpse " ! is not phantom-land more palpable and solid ? Get to the cause and its quality ; isolate it 25 from the material embodiment and survey it ; then delimit the full span for which the individuality in question can subsist. " Woes unnumbered you you are not content to let your have borne" because 26 Inner Self follow the law of its own being. Hold ! enough ! When others censure, or resent, or make an 27 outcry over this or that, go near and penetrate into their souls, and see what manner of men they are. You will see there is no need for straining i
