A wholesome advice
No, you don’t have thousands of years to live. Urgency is on you. While you live, while you can, become good.” — Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
Meditation on Greatness
Marcus Aurelius Antonius, a Sage and an Emperor of Rome - two incompatible roles for a mere human - wrote this:
"Sure, life is a small thing, and small the cranny of the earth in which we live it: small too even for the longest fame thereafter, which is itself a subject to a succession of little men, who will quickly die, and have no knowledge of themselves, let alone of those long dead."
Meditations, Book 3,10
Without a lineage of wisdom, stretching afore and aft of a great Sage, what indeed is its measure and its opportunity to infuse the present...?
