Your Saturday Stoic Review — Week of February 21 - 27

PASSAGE OF THE WEEK:

"Death was the great equalizer. It was el finito. The conclusion that rendered so many of the accolades and accomplishments he had piled up in life instantly worthless. Marcus Aurelius wasn't alive to read Shelley's poem about the statue of Ozymandias, but he would have loved it:

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Of course, you should strive to realize your potential. You should conquer and do and be great. You should just remember where, to quote another poem, all the paths of glory ultimately end up. That no amount of doing will allow you to escape death, and that in death, we are all equal, small, and powerless."

—from "This Is the Great Equalizer"
