How do we answer the simple questions in life? Do we only give superficial answers/ Or more considered ones?
Marcus Aurelius asks, “A person who doesn’t know what the universe is, doesn’t know where they are. A person who doesn’t know their purpose in life doesn’t know who they are or what the universe is. A person who doesn’t know anyone of these things doesn’t know why they are here. So what to make of people who seek or avoid the praise of those who have no knowledge of where or who they are?” [Meditations, 8.52]
Have you taken the time to seek clarity about who you are or what you stand for? Or are you busy chasing non-important things, following the wrong influences, and chasing disappointing or nonexistent paths in life?
