Explanation: Marcus Aurelius was a Roman Emperor who was famous as a philosopher, and the writings of his Meditiations are still widely read and appreciated today. In them, Aurelius exhorts oneself to endure all things with patience and humility, to treat one's fellow man with kindness and tolerance, to work for the common good, and to turn away from rancor and anger.
He also led military campaigns which killed a TON of Germanic tribesmen. Which, while not STRICTLY speaking a violation of what he wrote considering the nature of the threat to the lives of the people he was responsible for ruling, is a bit different in tone, lmao.
Just a touch of "Do as I say, not as I do", though his overall philosophy is still generally applicable.
Well clearly he wasn't talking about barbarians when he said that.
Correct. Only people matter.
