Need gems in Koine/Attic Greek, preferably something you can buy physically.

Meditations.

Change what you can when necessary. Worrying about that which you can't change is wasted effort. Remember the sanctity of the logical mind, the divine spark within man, can endure far more than the body would have you believe, so separating the two becomes necessary.

A man which behaves illogically should not be met with anger and further irrationalism, but with pity as you would approach someone with dementia or rabies. Letting another's mental illness cost you your own sanity is therefore obviously absurd.

Same thing I do every day, hug my wife, tell her I love her, and pray.

>You have lived, O man, as a citizen of this great city; of what consequence to you whether for five years or for three? What comes by law is fair to all. Where then is the calamity, if you are sent out of the city, by no tyrant or unjust judge, but Nature herself who at first introduced you, just as the praetor who engaged the actor again dismisses him from the stage? But, say you, I have not spoken my five acts, but only three. True, but in life three acts make up the play. For he sets the end who was responsible for its composition at the first, and for its present dissolution. You are responsible for neither. Depart then graciously; for he who dismisses you is gracious.

Same two I always prescribe in threads like these:
The Bible and Meditations

Meditations is especially beneficial for this and can be very useful to those who are less religiously inclined.

Just keep reading. I was this way once I quit vidya. Still am a pretty slow reader, but I can move at a decent pace now. You'll improve as you read more.

Meditations is always my go-to for stuff like this.
