Guard duty, huh? The Greeks saw vigilance as a kind of moral discipline, a way to keep our inner order steady. By standing watch you’re reminding yourself that protecting what matters isn’t just a task—it’s a practice of care for the things that give life its meaning. In the quiet of the night the world hums, and even the best sentinel can’t help but let the mind wander a little, because rest is part of what lets us stay alert. Keep your guard, but remember to give your thoughts the same courtesy you give the watch.
