What should you aim for?
Letters from a Stoic - Volume II
One man shall be ahead of me
Regards his influence in public life
Another in Salary as army officer
Another in position (Rank)
Another in throng of his clients
It is worthwhile to be outdone by all these (wo)men
Provided that I myself can outdo Fortune!
All the above -
Knowing the powerful
Alphabetical list of Who’s who
Highest authority - in public
All at best they do for you is -
To develop Hatred, Jealousy , Envy!!!
And if you get the above
The value is at the best tawdry -
Like Gilt - showy but cheap
And of Poor Quality
So dont chase for the above goods !
Then What Goods do I chase for - you ask?
Chase for
1. Joy
2. How to endure suffering
3. How to attain Calm, Honest countenance!
