"Este no es momento para jugar. Nada es tan alentador como cuando las virtudes se encarnan visiblemente en las personas que nos rodean. Qué pronto cubrirá el tiempo todas las cosas, y cuántas ya ha cubierto. Lo duradero no es necesariamente eterno. En ningú"
— Marcus Aurelius
Simplified Meaning:
It's important to take life seriously and focus on real virtues that can inspire us when seen in others. Time passes quickly and covers everything, and nothing lasts forever. The most peaceful place you can find is within yourself, and true confidence comes from within, not from others' approval. To truly understand people, look at what they are passionate about and what they avoid. Life and the universe are always changing. Learn from history to predict the future, as patterns tend to repeat. Imagine you've already lived and start fresh, making the most of the time you have left, focusing on good living. Happiness doesn't need much; it starts with your mindset. Accept your life and cherish the people around you, as sharing life with them is a part of your journey.
