WITHOUT LOOKING FOR ANYTHING IN RETURN

I Love You

Marcus Aurelius Meditations Book 5 #6

Some people, when they do someone a favor, are always looking for a chance to call it in. And some aren’t, buy they’re still aware of it—still regard it as a debt. But others don’t even do that. They’re like a vine that produces grapes without looking for anything in return.

A horse at the end of the race …

A dog when the hunt is over …

A bee with its honey store …

And a human being after helping others.

They don’t make a fuss about it. They just go on to something else, as the vine looks forward to bearing fruit again in season.

We should be like that. Acting almost unconsciously.
