...and er, what about Steve?
...I mean he's up there with Marcus Aurelius and Stoicism. he's been called a few names in the past, I know, but this is a new one.
I'm wondering what its like being compared to a Roman Emperor.
I was once compared to a Roman Candle but I quit the substance abuse, and now I'm normal nearly.
“If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.” Marcus Aurelius
