Meaningless, Like A Fine Wine
Today’s Daily Stoic Meditation outlines that everything is truly meaningless.
“You know what wine and liqueur tastes like. It makes no difference whether a hundred or a thousand bottles pass through your bladder — you are nothing more than a filter.”
— SENECA, MORAL LETTERS, 77.16
It Makes No Difference
It makes no difference.
It makes no difference, it is all meaningless.
A Large Scale
It is good to think of things on a large scale to understand the insignificance of everything.
Think of things on a large scale.
It is incredibly beneficial to look at the bigger picture — look at everything in general.
Do not focus on the minute details.
Do not focus on small, insignificant daily events that will not mean much later.
Better Understanding
Looking at the bigger picture leads to a better understanding and peace.
You can become extremely peaceful when you understand that that things are not too important.
