Say to yourself first thing in the morning

Say to yourself first thing in the morning: today I shall meet people who are meddling, ungrateful, aggressive, treacherous, malicious and unsocial. All of this has afflicted them through their ignorance of true good and evil. But I have seen that the nature of good is what is right, and the nature of evil what is wrong; and I have reflected that the nature of the offender himself is akin to my own　

----- Marcus Aurelius

To aid digestion, prepare grated radish and grated ginger. Grate whole radish and ginger at the beginning of the new year. This will also help in the recovery of emotional deterioration caused by the richness of life that has emerged from seeking rationality. 

From preparation to consumption, you do not have time to rest if you cook a decent meal yourself. 

In the course of this year, I would like to observe whether the nostalgic behavior that seeks irrationality does it work or not, amongst the waste-free modern society in which the pursuit of rationality is achieved.

For the ''Real'' romantic.
