"Happiness comes from within and depends on your own actions and attitudes." – Marcus Aurelius
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus (often referred to as "the wise") was Emperor of the Roman Empire from 161 to his death in 180. He was the last of the "Five Good Emperors", and is also considered one of the more important Stoic philosophers. His two decades as emperor were marked by near continual warfare. He was faced with a series of invasions from German tribes, and by conflicts with the Parthian Empire in the east. His reign also had to deal with an internal revolt in the east, led by Avidius Cassius.
Marcus Aurelius' work Meditations, written in Greek while on campaign between 170 and 180, is still revered as a literary monument to a government of service and duty and has been praised for its "exquisite accent and its infinite tenderness."
“For nowhere either with more quiet or more freedom from trouble does a man retire than into his own soul […] Tranquility is nothing else than the good ordering of the mind” (p40)
“‘Unhappy am I because this has happened to me.’ - Not so, but happy that I, though this has happened to me, because I continue free from pain, neither crushed by the present nor fearing the future.” (P 51)
This book really describes in a very sufficient way the stoic view.
We suffer more in our imagination than in our reality, It explains to see obstacle as the way, and to see life and ongoing on it should become on that.
Every animal has a purpose as human being, rather being stoic is self improvement that engages you’re productivity and willpower to improve.
You have 2 ears and one mouth, listen more than you speak.
If any bad happen never go in that and start acting bad.
Stoics has the biggest possession and that’s power inside you not outside you, the one in fact you can control.
