- Marcus Aurelius: What's There to Complain About?Good Heavens, Tokyo
"Don't be heard complaining about life at court. Not even to yourself."
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, VIII.9In this session in our series on Marcus Aurelius (121 – 180 AD), we will consider his advice to himself never to complain.
We will read passages from the Meditations which explore this idea and a printout of the texts will be provided.
See here for a public domain version of the full text of the Meditations.
