Did You Know This About Marcus Aurelius? 

That really is beautifully put

I like that it’s really not flowery language, it’s just a series of beautiful observations.

Amazing

That is how Ancient Greek was written.

@@vresnuil Yes, very true.

"Live your own life, for you will die your own death." Latin Proverb

"Smile for me now brother" delivered by Joaquin Phoenix but his brother died before his eyes in the gutter outside an LA night club. The world and life watching death in is horrible absoluteness.

​@@truelife1004 what does that mean? "The world and life watching death in is horrible absoluteness"?

Honestly, this quote is metal as fuck.

That was not a MA quote. Just a Gladiator movie line.

We are just amazed about those quotes and we put likes while scrolling on comments but we don't know how to practice them in real life

@@desertknights5003 "Be the change you want to see in the world"

And ignorance is bliss 🤷‍♂️

Does anyone else have trouble remembering to clean the toilet seat after pissing?

@@spe.z.artist no

Isn't that heraclitus?

That makes no sense at all

@@spacelemming4493 no. It's from Meditations [5:16]. But it's possible that Marcus quoted someone.

@@bobmusil1458 The quality of your thoughts determine what you experience and how you interpret it. Your interpretations are literally your thoughts about everything that’s happening.

Bet you are a fine writer yourself Tychus👏🏻

Bakers new this was cracks for moisture to be released. It would not be as good if there were no cracks. This man needs to read more.

@@DavidLockJ do you know the quote was from Marcus Aurelius who lived almost two milleniae ago?

@@DavidLockJ and why is it that nature kept moisture as a condition here?

@@DavidLockJ and you should know this man was born before that was common knowlage( if known att all ), you should read more.

@jkee9760 😅 i was wishing the same

no. that is western civilization gift to humanity. All cultures are not equal. No sub saharan ever wrote anything until we gave them letters.

​@@rafewheadon1963 what an ignorant comment.

​@@rafewheadon1963 Knowledge doesn't have to be written down to be useful and there are many writing systems across the world, even ones that originated in places you wouldn't believe.

​@@rafewheadon1963 Greeks copied from indian n no indian source ever recorded copying Greeks . Mhm I wonder why 🤔❤

Green philosophy and Indian Spirituality. Absolutely gems

Might be overstating things a bit. But certainly important.

What his last name?

😂 bread is pretty cool but yeah I see your point 🍞♾

Finding the beauty in beautiful things is easy. Finding the beauty in the mundane is what makes a great writer great.

I'm sure you found your purpose

It's not about the subject, it's about the detail put into talking about the subject.

What an ignorant statement

@yoshi-wx8sx : no way, dont say it 😅

was looking for this comment 🤝

Correct lmao. Fake deep pot thoughts. Thoughts you have that are somewhat sensible, that seem much more profound when you're stoned

Well, we are the dominant language in essentially everything. C'était bien tenté, ceci dit.

@@drewbocop Just like Latin in the Roman Empire. Yet...

Source?

Why would an american have any need to speak an inferior language?

@@eprimchad2576 To understand how deluded many Americans are. How it went from Kennedy to Trump...

Wow tell me more

“When a loaf of bread, for instance, is in the oven, cracks appear in it here and there; and these flaws, though not intended in the baking, have a rightness of their own, and sharpen the appetite. Figs, again, at their ripest will also crack open. When olives are on the verge of falling, the very imminence of decay adds its peculiar beauty to the fruit. So, too, the drooping head of a cornstalk, the wrinkling skin when a lion scowls, the drip of foam from a boar’s jaws, and many more such sights, are far from beautiful if looked at by themselves; yet as the consequences of some other process of Nature, they make their own contribution to its charm and attractiveness.”. These were his words, it was more about his observation of nature and it's correlation to the happiness that one can achieve, rather than the scientific reason.

It pains me that your comment most reflects the the true nature of the subject being covered here. And since yesterday I'm the first person to comment on it. Great add my friend.

I mean, the answer here is obviously not ignorance lol. You can read of distant lands _and_ explore your own.

U gotta score it dummy

OMG it is common sense... NOW!

These replys are reminding me to never underestimate the stupidity of mankind.

Maybe because we can drive in any direction for days and only meet English speaking people.

Nobody forgets but he was a good and fair emperor and not vindictive or cruel about the best you could hope for of the time's.
