Meditations

Meer over het boek

Marcus Aurelius emphasizes that many of life's troubles stem from our own perceptions and imagination rather than external forces. He advocates for a calm and temperate approach to life, suggesting that perceived injustices from others are often rooted in their ignorance. Instead of responding with anger, we should cultivate pity for those who wrong us. Through self-examination, we may discover that our suffering is often a product of our own opinions rather than objective reality, encouraging a more introspective and compassionate mindset.
