Harm to you cannot subsist in another's directing mind, nor indeed in any turn or change of circumstance. Where, then? In that part of you which judge harm. So no such judgement, and all is well. Even if what is closet to it, your own body, is subjected to knife or cautery, or left to suppurate or mortify, even so that faculty in you which judges these things should stay untroubled. That is , it should assess nothing either bad or good which can happen equally to the bad man or good: because what can happen to a man irrespective of his life's conformity to nature is not of itself in accordance with nature or contrary to it.
