Meditations by Marcus Aurelius translated by George W. Chrystal (~180) Book 11 Part 4 (18)Bonus:
Bonus:
1. This is possibly my favorite 4 minutes in any movie (definitely any Transformers property)
2. I needed this for something else earlier today. It has nothing to do with Meditations.
Summary: 4.18 is most of the book compressed into a couple pages.
Commentary:
Secondly: Consider what manner of men they are at table, in bed, or elsewhere; and especially by what principles they hold themselves bound, and with what arrogance they entertain them.
What kind of men they are... in bed!
The rest of point 18 is yet another repetition of a lot of the normal themes. You're not mad at what happened, you're mad about how it made you feel. If someone is a good person, they must have a good reason for what they did. Don't be a hypocrite, you make mistakes too. It'd be a good section to pull out if you were just doing a single excerpt, since it has a lot of of the content in a well organized way.
