Description
4:12 – In these two ways you must always be prepared: the one, to do only whatever the reason of the ruling and legislating faculty may suggest for the benefit of mankind; the second, to change your opinion if someone is there to correct and to guide you away from some opinion of yours. But this change of opinion must proceed only from a certain persuasion, as of what is just or of common advantage and the like – not because it appears pleasant or brings reputation.---------------------------------------------------------------------------Aurelius – Meditations 2:16The soul of a man does violence to itself … when, failing to direct any act or impulse of its own upon a mark, it behaves in any matter without a plan or conscious purpose, whereas even the smallest act ought to have a reference to an end.---------------------------------------------------------------------------If you have questions, comments, or feedback, I would love to hear from you!
