1 - It is not as though if you go astray, someone else will pay the penalty. If you keep this in mind, you will not be angry or upset with anyone, won’t insult, criticize, hate, or be offended by anyone. [Epictetus, D 1.28.] 

In the TWELFTH chapter of his discourse On The Happy Life, Seneca tells us that, to be happy, we should stop pursuing pleasure, and instead pursue virtue. This is an excerpt from Stoic Happiness, a plain English version of Seneca’s On the Happy Life, published by The Stoic Gym. https://amzn.to/2I0mbVW

Big idea 6. Be just 

When we deal with others, we need a second skill—justice. What is justice? It is giving what is due to others, being fair in your dealings with them, and not taking anything that belongs to them. This is the second “wall” of our Stoic house.

1 - Everything that is not under our control is neither good nor bad and therefore nothing to us. [Epictetus, D 2.1] 

In the THRTEENTH chapter of his discourse On The Happy Life, Seneca tells us that, to be happy, we should stop pursuing pleasure, and instead pursue virtue. This is an excerpt from Stoic Happiness, a plain English version of Seneca’s On the Happy Life, published by The Stoic Gym. 

Why we should we be just 

When we act unjustly, we believe that we stand to gain something by acting unjustly. But we have already seen that we can gain nothing from others, least of all by withholding what is due to them. Anything good, we need to get from ourselves. It is a part of our rationality (therefore according to nature) to appreciate our relationships to others and to act accordingly.
