Episode notes

Every man and every woman always has. That is one of the cold and uncaring truths about existence. Most people do not live to old age. And guess who else had these same problems? Ancient Greeks. Life is better now after all, but you will struggle with things like depression. Do you want to face all that this terrible life has to offer on your back, begging for mercy? Would you prefer to straighten your posture, live with purpose and for a reason?"

In this episode we will read and reflect upon the first meditation of Book 4.
