An unexamined life is not worth living.
Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.
MA Marcus AureliusRoman emperor & Stoic · 121–180Wat dit citaat betekent
Much of what we take as fact is really interpretation. Holding our views a little more loosely keeps us honest and open.
Context
Roman emperor and Stoic philosopher whose private notebook, Meditations, remains a handbook for steady living.
This line is among the quotes by Marcus Aurelius that readers return to on wijsheid, drawn from Meditations — a small, portable reminder to carry into the morning.
