Consolatio #5 - For the Evil, Show Your Pity: Book 4 of the Consolation of Philosophy, All Things Depend Upon Will and Power, Virtue is the Health of the Soul, Our Aim Is To Be Unlike Those We Hate

At long last, Book 4 of the 5-book masterpiece, De Consolatione de Philosophiae by Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius. Translated by W. V. Cooper, critical edition by Goins and Wyman.

I would describe this one as "a comfy doozy slightly too close to home."

Enjoy~
