Oct 14, 2021. I had a good time contemplate on a Ryan Holiday's tweet this morning. "Character is fate. A piece of shit is gonna be a piece of shit...all the way to the end."

A pretty controversial tweet and it sounds quite emotional, especially when it comes from a stoic guy like Ryan. The more I thought about it however, I could see an interpretation where it makes a lot of sense. Kind of interesting so let's get right into it.

Love of one's fate: "Things turn out best for people who make the best of the way things turn out." - John Wooden

I was listening to a podcast episode that my mom shared this morning. In Buddhism, there is a concept of reincarnation. And how the people we associate within this life, all had something to do with us in the past life. Some destiny to experience, some debt to pay.

The Egg story to compliment this idea:

We wonder why some people stay together though they’re both suffering from each other. They probably still have debt from the past life to pay.

After thought: Sorry to butchered this episode. Not the sharpest after a long day at work. It’s one of those day. At least i have some good note to compensate though. Hope you’ll have something interesting to think about.
