An idea from Discourses and Enchiridion

The goal is not to stand unmoved like a statue. It is to fill your relations well, as a son, a brother, a father, a citizen. If your brother grabs the bigger lettuce or the better seat, let him have it, and take the better brother’s part instead.

From Discourses and Enchiridion by Epictetus
