A few words about a Marcus Aurelius’ thought “The idle business of show, plays on the stage, flocks of sheep, herds, exercises with spears, a bone cast to little dogs, a bit of bread into fish-ponds, labourings of ants and burden-carrying, runnings about of frightened little mice, puppets pulled by strings- all alike. It is thy duty then in the midst of such things to show good humour and not a proud air; to understand however that every man is worth just so much as the things are worth about which he busies himself”. Marcus Aurelius Marcus Aurelius was a Roman emperor. He had got inclinations to the Stoic point of view about the statement of the world and to other questions related to the nature, the social and spiritual life of the human being. His thought, which is cited above, relates to the connection between the external reality around the Human and his internal world. In point of fact, according Marcus Aurelius’ opinion, there is not any kind of an influence between these two things, or at least from the external environment to the internal human state. This philosopher, and meanwhile an emperor, maintains the idea that there isn’t a power which is able to undermine the peace of the human soul when a strong spirit is shown. If it is so, you are able to “switch off” the things that are happening around and, therefore, free to muse about everything, no matter how unpleasant and unsuitable appears to be round you. Even your health is not significant for the state of your mind. Of course, for most of the people this is nothing more than a utopia. They do not allow the possibility of someone to resist against an external influence – of pain, hunger etc., without the slightest interruption of the internal peace. Well, at all events, it seems very difficult, but who knows. Perhaps it is possible to be achieved. By-and-by, it will be inspiring to see these days a politician with the ideals of Marcus Aurelius, who was one of the most high rated rulers of the Roman empire. Have you seen such one? I feel myself unworthy to speak about this remarkable man’s thinking, especially in this awkward style (I believe it is), but I do wish to improve my English. Someone to correct the mistakes, please. I will be thankful as much.
