"Every event has two handles - one by which it can be carried, and one by which it can;t. If your brother does you wrong, don't grab it by his wrongdoing, because this is the handle incapable of lifting it. Instead, use the other - that he is your brother, that you were raised together, and then you will have hold of the handle that carries."
~ Epictetus, Enchiridion, 43
