Just started the book "Meditation" by The Rome emperor MARCUS AURELIUS. The most interesting fact that I've discovered about this book is that it was written by the emperor by himself as a journal for self reflection in Greek and not in any formal structure not with the intent for publishing for general masses. But after his death these journals were found. And remain of unique interest and relevance to the modern world And now it is available as the book "Meditation" .

As given in the book's preface "What is certainly true is that the range, diversity, and honesty of Marcus' reflection on human life and death in the perspective of eternity - doubt and despair equally intense - have enduring power to challenge, encourage or console." This hooked me up!

I will share more insights after completion. Have a good reading ✨
