Today we're going to be diving into meditation number two from book number one of meditations. We will use Merrick Casabons 1634 translation as all translations since seem to value shortening the meditations of this first book.

"Of him that brought me up, not to be fondly addicted to either of the two great factions of the coursers in the circus, called Prasini, and Veneti: nor in the amphitheatre partially to favour any of the gladiators, or fencers, as either the Parmularii, or the Secutores. Moreover, to endure labour; nor to need many things; when I have anything to do, to do it myself rather than by others; not to meddle with many businesses; and not easily to admit of any slander." Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 1.2
