Graywacke How are the Meditations? 5y
Palimpsest @Graywacke I finished it the other day. I loved the book. I recommend it. He wrote to remind himself to stay in the present, he knew he couldn‘t live in the past or the future. He wrote that whatever anybody does against you they are accountable and you shouldn‘t bother yourself with it. Also things that happen in life leave impressions but our interpretation of it is what makes it appear good or bad. I read the intro in my copy, glad I did. 5y
Graywacke Thanks for that. I looked at it once, a library copy I picked up, and got intimidated. But I might try again some time. 5y
Palimpsest @Graywacke I got the translation with intro by Gregory Hays. The intro is long but a nice intro for stoicism. The Meditations themselves are divided into twelve books which where again divided by numbered sections. Felt very much like reading daily affirmations or advice for living. One of my favs was “think of yourself as dead. You have lived your life. Now take what‘s left and live it probably.” Id definitely encourage you to give it another go! 5y
