2026: Can't complain

This is just a quick post to say that, while I don't do New Year's resolutions, I do occasionally make New Year's commitments.

My commitment this year is to complain less: online and offline, about myself, other people, and the world in general.

As I've probably over-quoted the opening from Epictetus' Enchiridion at this point, I'll instead reach to his teacher, Musonius Rufus:

And if you choose to hold fast to what is right, do not be irked by difficult circumstances, but reflect on how many things have already happened to you in life in ways that you did not wish, and yet they have turned out for the best. (Fragment XXVII)

Are you making any commitments this year?
