>Meditations is a self-help book for faggots who want to seem cultured, so they like their banalities to have an extra veneer of gravitas by having them written by a historical figure (and a confirmed opium addict at that - read the records of Galen, his personal physician).

you have not read it, and it is the diary of an emperor you nigger. god i hate self-help fags ruining Meditations in the minds of normies by trying to turn stoicism into some kind of tradlarp horseshit. any of you who happen to be an art hoe or just a male dumbass reading this post: Meditations is not "cringe" to read and is largely just some guy's personal observations about life and insights into antiquity that were never meant to be published. except he happens to be Marcus Aurelius so it's a bit more intriguing than the average bear's journal.
