“Consider that everything is opinion, and opinion is in your power.”
Let's explore life and humanity with the aid of the ancient Stoic's wisdom, and the soothing sound of the ancient Greek lyre.
Let legendary ancient Greek and Roman philosophers (such as Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, and Seneca) be our guides while diving into the depths of the human soul and examine topics such as what it means to live a meaningful life, why it is so important to be the master of yourself, how can we avoid outsourcing our happiness, what are the right things in life, what is beauty and where it can be found, and many more.

📜 Videos' Transcript
I have often wondered how it is that every man loves himself more than all the rest of men, but yet sets less value on his own opinion of himself than on the opinion of others.
So much more respect has we to what our neighbors shall think of us than to what we shall think of ourselves.
Consider that everything is opinion, and opinion is in your power. Take away then, when you choose, your opinion, and like a mariner, who has doubled the promontory, you will find calm, everything stable, and a waveless bay.
Cast away opinion: you are saved. Who is then holding you back from casting it away?
When you are troubled about anything, you have forgotten this, that all things happen according to the universal nature; and forgotten this, that a man's wrongful act is nothing to you; and further you have forgotten this, that everything which happens, always happened so and will happen so, and now happens so everywhere; forgotten this too, how close is the kinship between a man and the whole human race, for it is a community, not of a little blood or seed, but of intelligence.
And you have forgotten this too, that every man's intelligence is a god, and is part of the deity; and forgotten this, that nothing is a man's own, but that his child and his body and his very soul came from the deity; forgotten this, that everything is opinion; and lastly you have forgotten that every man lives the present time only, and loses only this.
Constantly bring to your recollection those who have complained greatly about anything, those who have been most conspicuous by the greatest fame or misfortunes or his enemies or fortunes of any kind: then think where are they all now?
Smoke and ash and a tale, or not even a tale.
And let there be present to your mind also everything of this sort, how worthless everything is after which men violently strain.
