Looking at the web site the Daily Stoic today (still can't find my book), I came upon this, the top 16 take aways from reading the meditations of Marcus Arelious
1: In my first read of Meditations, I highlighted the line “It can ruin your life only if it ruins your character.” But COVID created a different way for me to see and understand what Marcus was writing about. When he talks about how there’s two kinds of plagues: the plague that can take your life and the plague that can destroy your character — he was talking about the things that we’re seeing in the world, that we saw on a daily basis over the last two years.
I like these 16 principals and the definition and examples given. I like how sees that there is a plague of conscious that can tear at your soul, if you let it.
