Do not waste the remainder of your life in speculating about your neighbors, unless with a view to some common good. For to speculate about what your neighbor is doing, and why, and what he is saying, and what he is thinking of, and for what purpose, and how much he troubles himself with all these things, is just to lose the opportunity of doing something else.

Stoic philosophy, Roman Emperor
