The rich man is not he who has much, but rather he who wants little.

We have almost no control. We live in this small spherical brown balls. When we climb up the sides, we either roll the ball or drop back to the bottom....and we decide this is our big world, when we really live in a world of an infinite number of brown balls.
That's my best pick up line! LOL

@Queendragonfly I dip into the Meditations now and again. No need to rush.

@Queendragonfly But I'm twice your age and starting to feel the relevance of Book II-4

Surely it is high time to understand the Universe of which you are a part, and the Ruler of that Universe, of whom you are an emanation; that a limit is set to your days, which, if you use them not for your enlightenment, will depart, as you yourself will, and return no more.
