Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.
Marcus AureliusNo one can keep you from living as your nature requires. Nothings can happen to you that is not required by Nature.
Marcus AureliusSo you know how things stand. Now forget what they think of you. Be satisfied if you can live the rest of your life, however short, as your nature demands. Focus on that, and don't let anything distract you. You've wandered all over and finally realized that you never found what you were after: how to live. Not in syllogisms, not in money, or fame, or self-indulgence. Nowhere.
Marcus Aurelius
