The Unfairness of Life and Marcus Aurelius
Marcus Aurelius, a Roman emperor, faced numerous challenges throughout his reign, including wars, floods, famines, plagues, and the loss of his children. Despite the unfair hand dealt to him by fate, Marcus understood the importance of continuing to fulfill his responsibilities as a leader and father. His final act was to ensure that his son, Commodus, would be guided and counseled by the best men of the Senate. This example teaches us that regardless of the difficulties we face in life, we must persevere and carry out our most important job, whether it is being a leader or a father.
