Recognizing the Limitation of Time

Section 4 of Marcus Raylius' meditations highlights the importance of recognizing the limited time we have and not procrastinating. The passage discusses how we often put off important tasks or opportunities, assuming we will have more time in the future. However, this mindset can be seen as arrogant, assuming that nothing bad will happen and that we deserve extra time to be lazy. It urges us to understand the world we belong to, the limited time assigned to us, and the need to make the most of it before it's gone.
