Ah, Marcus. If only the modern world listened to you more.
I think about the modern world where we have things like the show "Honey Boo Boo," and when I mention how terrible it is for the girl and her family in general, some people counter with "Well, this show is providing financial security for her family" as if that justified it. I'll have to remember this quote to pull out in such cases in the future.

Daniel,
ReplyDeleteI am making a point of keeping Marcus Aurelius nearby.
He provides needed perspective in a crazy world.
