The Importance of Meditation in a Breakup

Mark Cerrealis wrote meditations while he was emperor, so he would have been in his 30s and 40s. We don't know how long he was writing the book. He actually says like throw away your books, go directly to the seat of knowledge. I think that's when I learned that this idea of philosophy and like a life of doing things and being successful and working were not at all mutually opposed. So for me, it was this idea of, look, get off your ass. You can make the best of this situation.
