🌿🌿🌿No man fears Caesar himself, but he fears death, banishment, deprivation of his property, prison, and disgrace. Nor does any man love Caesar, unless Caesar is a person of great merit, but he loves wealth, the office of tribune, praetor or consul. When we love, and hate, and fear these things, it must be that those who have the power over them must be our masters.”🌿🌿🌿

Beams of Thought of MARCUS AURELIUS: Profound Insight from MEDITATIONS
“What doesn’t transmit the light creates its own darkness.” (c) Marcus Aurelius, “Meditations”
Seneca on December Holidays:
‘It is the month of December, and yet the city is at this very moment in a sweat. License is given to the general merrymaking. Everything resounds with mighty preparations, – as if the Saturnalia differed at all from the usual business day! So true it is that the difference is nil, that I regard as correct the remark of the man who said: “Once December was a month; now it is a year.”’ © Seneca, "Moral Letters to Lucilius".
"If cattle had opinions, they would make fun of anyone interested in anything besides the grass!" (c) Epictetus.

"MEDITATIONS": Awaken Your SOUL with MARCUS AURELIUS' stoic guidance.
"Your three components: body, breath, mind. Two are yours in trust; to the third alone you have clear title. If you can cut yourself-your mind-free of what other people do and say, of what you've said or done, of the things that you're afraid will happen, the impositions of the body that contains you and the breath within, and what the whirling chaos sweeps in from outside, so that the mind is freed from fate, brought to clarity, and lives life on its own recognizance - doing what's right, accepting what happens, and speaking the truth - If you can cut free of impressions that cling to the mind, free of the future and the past-can make yourself, as Empedocles says, 'a sphere rejoicing in its perfect stillness,' and concentrate on living what can be lived (which means the present) . . . then you can spend the time you have left in tranquility. And in kindness. And at peace with the spirit within you." (c) Marcus Aurelius, "Meditations".
"You could leave life right now. Let that determine what you do and say and think." (c) Marcus Aurelius, "Meditations".
