The original title of Marcus Aurelius’ diary, known today is “Meditations”, is actually Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν, literally “[Things] to One’s Self”. They were private notes, private thoughts, things on his mind. SELF-help.
Seneca writes in Letter XXVII: “I am… discussing with you troubles which concern us both, and sharing the remedy with you, just as if we were lying ill in the same hospital.” Helping both his friend Lucilius - and himself. Mainly SELF-help.
And this is exactly the purpose of my IG/FB account: not to teach, not to preach, but think aloud about all different kind of stuff.
Share with you things that are on my mind.
Things that I met on my journey.
Things that made a BIG difference in my life.
Successes and failures.
Notes from my Quest.
SELF-help.
- Relationship/marriage. By far the best thing that ever happened to me.
- Friendship. Thank you friends.
- Discipleship. Me as a student, as well as teacher. Thank you, my teachers and students.
- People I met.
- Interesting books.
- Some great movies.
- Songs.
- Podcasts.
- Lifestyle tips - such as strength training, combat arts, cold exposure, fasting, meditation…
- Cats (!).
Because some things made HUGE difference I’m my life - and they may (or may not) make some difference in your life.
I wish I knew “it” all - I don’t. At all. Man’s search for meaning I guess. But I may have found some important thing on the road (probably by accident).
So thank you for following me. More cats pics on the way.
