Meditations (2 Volumes in Total)

If you want to understand Stoicism, then Marcus Aurelius is the first person to understand; as an emperor of ancient Rome who had enjoyed all the glory and wealth, he wrote down his thoughts on life; dialogue with oneself is the most effective way to better understand oneself and understand the many sides of oneself. Pain and discomfort are inner opinions, but we also have a higher soul and mind, and through their transcendent processing we can achieve personal detachment and inner peace. Only in this way can you be active and not anxious at all times.

It's a very good book that makes people feel more rational and calm after reading it. Virtue, contentment, and gratitude can lead to a happy life. Be persistent in your goals and value your reason and thoughts.

In the book, Marcus Aurelius elaborated on the relationship between the soul and death, analyzed personal virtue, personal liberation, and personal responsibility to society. He required frequent introspection to achieve inner peace, abandon all useless and trivial thoughts, and think with integrity. He does not regard everything as evil, believing that pain and uneasiness only come from the heart and can be eliminated by his own heart. The book records his desire to get rid of passion and desire and hope to obtain a calm and optimistic attitude towards life, expounds the relationship between reason and death, analyzes personal morality and personal responsibility to society, and requires people to often reflect on themselves and take action.

Reading "Meditations" can lead to spiritual cleansing

I like this kind of guidance that is all about self-reflection and teaching us who we should be, what we should do, and what we should not do. This is very precious, only people who sincerely wish us good will do this in life, and this philosopher used it to write a book telling us what the correct behavior should be, which is very precious.

This book taught me how to think about life and nourish the soul! I will try my best to drink this "soul" chicken soup! It may be difficult to digest in a short time, but its nutrition is unmatched by many "poisonous" chicken soups today.

This is a book worth reading in a lifetime. The world is impermanent. In the cycle of cause and effect, people experience birth, old age, illness and death, joys and sorrows. Learn to think, what is true love? You must learn to love yourself before you can love everything in the world. Focus on yourself and make time for yourself to learn new and positive things; only by allowing yourself inner peace can you appreciate beauty!

This sentence is said in the book: Don't waste the rest of your life daydreaming about other people's things, unless you can connect those daydreams to a common goal, because it will really delay you from doing other things. If you fantasize about what so-and-so is doing, why, what he is saying, what he is thinking, intending, and other similar things, it is enough to distract you from guarding your own master reason. It impressed me and woke me up. I have been comparing myself with others before, but now it seems that there is no need, just be yourself.

A philosophical work written by a Roman emperor and considered one of the most important works in the history of Western philosophy. The whole book covers Marcus Aurelius's thoughts and perceptions on governing the country, life and death. Marcus Aurelius emphasized the importance of humility and diligence, believing that a person can truly achieve achievement and satisfaction only in the process of enriching himself and making continuous progress. "Meditations" is a book with profound ideological and philosophical enlightenment significance. It shows the true meaning of human life and existence through Marcus Aurelius's personal experience. This book is not only of great value for personal cultivation and personality shaping, but also provides extensive thinking and enlightenment in the fields of politics, philosophy and culture.

How small and ignorant I am in the face of the ocean of knowledge. At any time, we must realize our own limitations, bravely admit and accept our own shortcomings, and reflect on ourselves.

Human beings appear extremely small in the ocean of knowledge. I once thought arrogantly about how knowledgeable I was, but "Meditations" made me understand that human beings need to meditate, understand themselves in meditation, look for shortcomings and find solutions. "Meditations" is a very good book. After reading it, it can make people more rational and mentally peaceful. Only with virtue can you have a happy life. Reason and thought are very beautiful things. The wisdom from two thousand years ago is no less than the thousand-year inheritance of Confucianism.

I believe in the stars and the sea. People are small, but I don't feel inferior because of my smallness. I work hard to stay kind and achieve justice, equality, and fraternity.
