Cicero's Life Laws to Learn in Youth and Avoid Regrets in Old Age

Cicero was a Roman statesman and philosopher who tried to uphold optimate principles during the political crises that led to the establishment of the Roman Empire. Cicero is considered one of Rome's greatest orators and prose stylists. Cicero's influence on the Latin language was immense. He wrote more than three-quarters of extant Latin literature that is known to have existed in his lifetime, and it has been said that subsequent prose was either a reaction against or a return to his style, not only in Latin but in European languages up to the 19th century.

"Law applied to its extreme is the greatest injustice." Here is an excerpt from Steps to Knowledge about extremism in the form of idealism. "What makes life complex is that people want life to be what life is not, they want themselves to be what they are not and they want their destiny to be what it is not. Then they attempt to gain from life that which confirms their own idealism, and because life cannot confirm this, all becomes distressed, conflicted and complex. The mechanism of life may be complicated in its minute details, but the meaning of life is directly obvious to anyone who looks without the distortion of judgment or preference." (Marshall Vian Summers, Steps to Knowledge) As a former idealist, I can attest to my lack of compassion and willingness to be present in reality. My prayer is that those who have the power to judge and condemn others learn the difference between their own idealism (fears and preferences) which distorts their vision and the reality of life in this imperfect world, replacing condemnation with compassion and idealism with new eyes of understanding and forgiveness.

[@Nellis202]

I am reflecting on his quote regarding friends……… “only your friends can hurt you”. I should imagine that a stoic would have a different interpretation of what a friend is and would be immune to the vacillations of friendship. Everyone will invariably vacillate at some point , even the most ardent and steadfast one.

[@justagamer4190]

A friend ain't worth having if they don't got your back, of course you gotta have there's to. A true friend will tell you the truth even if it hurts as long as it benefits you or just to help you not look foolish. A fake friend is only there to make themselves look better or to benefit from your kindness and not give any in return. Even true friends can become enemies when a situation warrants it.
