* “You can pass your life in an equable flow of happiness, if you can go by the right way, and think and act in the right way. These two things are in common both to the soul of God and to the soul of man and to the soul of every rational being, not to be hindered by another; and to hold good to consist in the disposition to justice and in the practice of it, and in this let your desire find its termination.” Marcus Aurelius, ‘ Meditations’ Book 5, 34.

* Perfect life can be only learned.

* The human experience, like other species in nature is birth, life, and death.. “perfect”, “good”, “bad” etc are subjective designations not real and existing only the human mind..

* All life is perfect — at least, when looking at the form of it instead of the content

* Nothing is perfect, the perfection does not exist ….

* A statement defined by you, Who is enlightend enough to make that statement.

* Yeah, those that are thieves that are allowed to rob the omega population and become the wealthiest doing whatever they want.

* Perfection doesn’t exist in nature

* why not? if there are extremely miserables, why not perfect lifes?

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
