The text reinforces the stoic idea that everything is your perception and impression. If things are placed in perspective in the whole universe you will realise that the things you think are ‘bad’ aren’t really that big of a deal in the grand scheme. I also feel quite amused that stoics are environmentalists too. Viewing yourself as part of nature would also help you protect nature. I feel that it is extremely positive that roman’s are already aware that they were already making an impact on the enviroment.

The notion of everyone existing within the structure of the universe is similar to the analogy of people working like the hands, nose and mouth in a body working in unification within a structure. If everyone were to work together like the organs in a human body instead of sabotaging each other for self gain our society will advance faster.
