Marcus Aurelius wrote all this in the form of a diary, therefore addressing himself. Did he really believe in what he wrote? I am neither a philosopher nor an emperor, yet I also write a diary addressing myself, not everything I write I manage to do in practice. It was the same for him perhaps? Greetings from Italy

just about the only thing I disagree with the stoics on is their faith in gods. And even then, their gods were MUCH more palatable than the Abrahamic one. Aside from that, the rest of the philosophy is pure gold. And they never said being emotional is a bad thing. It is all about proportion and control. People seem to think being a stoic is akin to being a Star Trek Vulcan for some reason. It's simply not the case.

It's like all the laws in America, it's all meaningless. America arbitrarily enforces its laws so for the remainder of my life I will arbitrarily follow those laws. -George W. O'Shea My plates are out of date by four months and I will never pay them unless I'm first paid what I'm rightfully and lawfully owed for my inventions that I sent to the American embassy in Dublin Ireland.. they made them all.. but I'm homeless in Missouri waiting to be paid what I'm owed. It's congress'duty to promote science and technology and I have more inventions.. dumbasses.. Hypocrites. 🇺🇸🏴☠️ I'm only homeless because I'm using my "right" to protest. As long as America doesn't pay me, the more hypocritical it looks to those that are aware of my situation. I'm in a parking lot on Hawks Nest.. By delaying it this long, all America has done, is ensure that I leave America quicker. I'll spend my money elsewhere. I donate to charity everywhere but America now. Well done hypocritess. You're all too stupid to come up with everything I've thought up... Enjoy your downfall. 🔮 ⚖️ ♾️ 🎱
