I’m still reading the introduction haha

I think what struck me most so far was how Marcus formulated his Stoic philosophy in the middle of war time. This reminds me of “Man’s Search for Meaning” by Viktor Frankl - how he survived the concentration camp with his mind and spirit intact. It seems that humans must undergo extreme adversities in order to churn out something exquisite.

Not sure if I wanna go through such challenges to improve my mind and enhance my resilience though. But I will remind myself of how the Obstacle is the Way.

More later!
