The point of life is to follow reason and the divine spirit and to accept whatever nature sends you. To live in this way is not to fear death, but to hold it in contempt. Death is only a thing of terror for those unable to live in the present. Pass on your way, then, with a smiling face, under the smiling face, under the smile of him who bids you go." Marcus Aurelius wrote Meditations on his diary during a campaign in Central Europe in 175 CE. In Marcus' time philosophy was not meant as a means to understand life but also as a guide on how to live. These meditations show the influence of stoicism, they help us keep our transitory lives in perspective and understand how to live accordingly.

Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. SIGNED BY ANDREW STELMACK on title page; Clean, tight, unmarked; slight wear to inside corners; otherwise spine straight and uncreased; very minimal wear; appears unread; Imagine if Sidney Crosby was never allowed to play professional hockey, Michael Jordan basketball, or Tom Brady football. That all of Albert Einstein's or Steve Job's ideas were ignored or suppressed. That Beethoven never had a symphony performed, Impossible right? How could anyone or anything stand in the say of such greatness? Such greatness can't be denied. If only that were true. Because, if it were true when you heard the name Moe Norman, you would know in an instant who he was. A name that would stand tall beside great names like Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, and Arnold Palmer. So the question is: Why don't we all know his name? Golf fan or not. Is it because he slept in sand traps, hitchhiked to tournaments, hit balls off of Coca-Cola bottles, didn't get along with authority, had a swing like no other golfer, or looked and sounded off? Or is it because of us? Because of our inherent fear of anything or anyone different than us. You be the judge. Signed by Author(s).
