The Weight of Opinion

You are not here to be understood by everyone.

We carry too much.
Not in our hands but in our minds.
And nothing weighs heavier than the opinions of others.

What they think.
What they might say.
How they’ll react if we speak up, slow down, do things differently.

It shapes our choices more than we admit.

But the Stoics had a clear answer:

Other people’s thoughts are none of your business.
