* “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…
