It is such a long grand sweeping read I think there should be lilting music playing in the background. The thoughts are so lofty and being a simple bumpkin I rather understand Cicero's angle better.


In all seriousness Thanks for sharing rex.

So you are insulting me now? You only understand what I say because I'm a simple bumpkin?!?

You are right...I have no clue what's what when I read watered down modern metaphysical psychology ripped right from classical grecco-roman and buddhist philosophy, in a now mutilated form. The Self-help and motivational genre is completely over my simple-minded head.

Cicero's angle: It's very common stoic philosophy written a lot about by Epictetus and various others. Except there is about 90 pages left out at minimum so it's inaccurate and specious, so as to follow a more modern christian slant.

Oh and you are ugly!!!

:p
