Tolerance and Self-Discipline in Cato the Younger
Cato the Younger was a strict and just man who set high standards for himself. He did not care about wealth or appearance, and even walked barefoot and bareheaded in Rome. When serving in the army, he endured the same hardships as his troops. His brother, Sipio, was quite the opposite, enjoying luxury and indulgence. Despite this, Cato understood the importance of self-discipline and recognized that not everyone can be like him. While we strive for excellence and hope to set a good example, we cannot expect everyone to live up to our standards.
