Evil comes from that part of yourself which acts as assessor

For you, evil comes not from the mind of another; nor yet from any of the phases and changes of your own bodily frame. Then whence? From that part of yourself which acts as your assessor of what is evil. Refuse its assessment, and all is well.
Marcus Aurelius translation by Maxwell Staniforth
