Whole and the Part

 Pg.27 Marcus Aurelius 

Meditations 

Think of the universal substance 

Of which you are a small portion 

And of universal time

Of which you have been assigned a short,indivisible interval 

And that is fixed by destiny

How small a part is mine

In this  whole art called Life

Then why am I vexed 

Puffed by something

Plagued by something else

And make myself miserable?
