The more someone rejoices over his neighbour's good, the more he shares in
it. So if you want to have a share in the good of all, rejoice in the good
of all. Make the good of others your own if it pleases you, and make the
evil of others your care if it displeases you. That is the way of salvation:
that you rejoice over your neighbour's good and grieve over his evil, and
think good of others and evil of yourself, and honor others and despise
yourself.
