"We have always a choice in every minute. To walk on Path of Duty or to Walk on Path of Pleasure."
I first heard above words from Gujarat High Court Advocate, late Shri V. S. Mehta.
I still remember his voice and his face when he told me this. I saw him always walking on Path of duty.
Later, I found that this is the basic norm of "Stoic Philosophy".
This philosophy says: If you have to choose between a soft path and a hard path, choose hard path as your default choice.
This increases one's capacity to tolerate distress and frustrations which oame to us now and then daily in life.
