Synopsis: HAPPY MARCUS AURELIUS DAY! Oh, what’s that? You didn’t KNOW that March 8th in the year 161 is the day that Marcus Aurelius became emperor? No worries – neither did I! In honor of this day we’ll be taking a brief break from Seneca’s letters to examine a topic through the lenses of Marcus Aurelius, Richard Mitchell, and Rabbi Moskowitz. We’ve touched upon this topic before, but I have a feeling that this is one that could use some review.----------Sources:- Marcus Aurelius: Meditations 6:27; 7:22,26- Richard Mitchell, The Gift of Fire (Introduction)- Rambam – Moreh ha’Nevuchim 3:11----------If you have questions, comments, or feedback, I would love to hear from you!
