Infinite wisdom of Marcus Aurelius for every day. Orxe module "Fundamentals of secular ethics" (notebook) Precious wisdom placer Euripides true caution

  • 14.03.2020

In 161 AD, Marcus Aurelius, the Roman emperor, was arguably the most powerful man on earth. Historians call Aurelius the last of the "five good emperors", because his contemporaries spoke of him as a wise, fair and honest ruler. The emperor actively developed ideas about virtue, kindness, self-control and philosophy. Many philosophical sayings of Aurelius have come down to us, and even after almost two thousand years they do not lose their relevance and are nothing more than a storehouse of wisdom. Let's look at some of his quotes, which will reveal a lot about the lifestyle and motivations of this great man.

1. Teaching about work and early rising

Apparently, the problem of an early rise was relevant in all ages, so Aurelius devoted this Special attention and his thoughts have reached our days.

“At dawn, when you find it hard to get out of bed, say to yourself, “I have to go to work as a human being. What should I complain about if I'm going to do something to achieve a goal, and what will I bring to this world? Or what I was born to do is hide under the covers and eat? Can't you see how plants, birds, spiders and bees go about their individual tasks, creating as much order in the world as possible? And you don't want to do your job as a human? Why don't you do what your nature requires?

Of course, in the morning, the power of a bed and a warm blanket seems limitless: in the early hours, a pillow can become like a monarch who decides whether you lie down for another 5 minutes or not. But Marcus Aurelius categorically disagreed with this, because he could only recognize himself as the only emperor.

2. The doctrine of criticism and negative people

Even surrounded by the emperor meet different people. Objective criticism will not harm any person, but those who carry only negative things can ruin your life, and you will lose faith in your own abilities. As for such people, Marcus Aurelius also has his own opinion:

“When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: the people I deal with today will interfere. They are ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous and sullen. They are like that because they cannot distinguish good from evil. But I saw the beauty of good and the ugliness of evil, and recognized that the criminal has a nature connected with my own - not of the same blood or birth, but of the same mind - and possessing a share of the divine. And that's why none of them can hurt me."

Why react to the words of people who live in negativity and despair becomes a kind of reason for their existence? You should not be pollinated by those who have lost all hope, lost faith in their own happiness and are trying to convey their philosophy to others. The emperor realized that such people can take over the minds of other people and sow the seed of despair in them, and warns us against interacting with negative people:

“You have power over your mind - the outside world does not. Understand this and you will find strength. Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth. I often wondered how each person loves himself more than all other people, but at the same time does not value his own opinion of himself, but relies on the opinion of others.

3. Teaching about gratitude

Marcus Aurelius believed that only a person who knows how to show gratitude can be happy. And it is very difficult to argue with him, because only a person who is able to appreciate goodness can share it with other people.

"All you need is confidence in judgment in the present moment, action for the common good in the present moment, and gratitude in the present moment for whatever comes your way."

Sometimes the whole problem lies in our head. We are too focused on our person, we are so suspicious that we can easily consider a harmless joke as the most severe insult. Live easier, don’t load your mind with insults and look at the world through the eyes of a happy, not a deprived person.

4. The doctrine of efficiency

Marcus Aurelius was not only intelligent, but also an incredibly active person. He believed that every minute is priceless and teaches us to value time as the most expensive and irreplaceable resource:

“Concentrate every minute, like a Roman, like a man, doing what you have to do with genuine seriousness, tenderness, willingness, desire and justice. Free yourself from other distractions. Yes, you can, if you do everything as if it were the last thing you can do in your life and stop living aimlessly; don't let your emotions underestimate what your mind is telling you. Stop being hypocritical, selfish and irritable."

5. The doctrine of peace of mind

Peace of mind is of great importance for a person, especially for one who holds power over a huge empire in his hands.

“You can rid yourself of many useless things, especially those that bother you, because they are entirely in your mind. And then you will acquire sufficient space for yourself by comprehending the entire universe in your mind and contemplating the eternity of time and watching rapid change every part of everything, how short is the time from birth to death and the limitless time before birth, as well as the equally limitless time after death.

Is it worth spending your life on thoughts that upset us, is it worth being sad because of the little things that steal best moments our life?
The emperor does not think so:

Marcus Aurelius created some rules that allowed him to become an exceptional leader who was appreciated and respected.

Aurelius also noted how his grandfather managed to maintain the integrity of his own personality, despite the fact that others said about him:

“His restrictions on accusations and all attempts to flatter him ... and his attitude towards men: no demagogy, no intrigues, no pandering. Always sober, always prudent, steadfast and not vulgar."

A leader is a person whose will must be stronger than a stone. Principles, beliefs - this is what makes the number one winner. Do not follow the opinions of others, do not fall for flattery and do not allow yourself to be manipulated. Rot your line and defend your own views so that others see strength in you and respect you.

Talking a lot and saying a lot are not the same thing.

Who seeks - he finds.

The sweetness of life is not in wisdom.

The inexorable temper is likely to give up.

Never prefer the stupidity of your own invention to sound advice.

Who is wise, he is kind.

It is better to work without a specific goal than to do nothing.

Speak so that I can see you.

Every person has a sun. Just let it shine.

This is surprising: every person can easily say how many sheep he has, but not everyone can say how many friends he has - they are so not worth it.

It is easier for people to keep a hot coal on their tongue than a secret.

It is better to die courageously than to live in shame.

An evil person harms others to no avail.

Not the word, but misfortune is the teacher of fools.

Do not strive to know everything, so as not to be ignorant.

The beautiful is comprehended through study and great effort, the bad is assimilated by itself, without difficulty.

I consider free the one who hopes for nothing and is not afraid of anything.

Courage is the beginning, but chance is the master of the end.

Whoever got a good son-in-law, he got a son, and whoever got a bad one, he also lost his daughter.

A week later, two friends, Sergei's classmates, decided to go to the cinema. Vadim went for Kostya and saw a surprisingly familiar car on a shelf in the hallway. It was a bright red racing model, which he held in his hands not so long ago at Sergei's birthday party. Vadim hesitated and decided to ask a friend directly.

Kostya confessed. The car was so good that he could not resist and appropriated it. He asked Vadim not to extradite him….

Parable of King Solomon.

One day, someone came to Solomon at the moment when he was playing with a hunting bird, and said:

King, help me, I am in sorrow. Yesterday I freed my slaves, and today they threw stones at my house.

The king looked at him carefully, and then asked:

Why did you free your slaves?

So answered the one who came for advice:

I got a rich inheritance, and I decided to free those of the slaves with whom I spent my childhood. I thought to make them happy.

Then Solomon asked:

And who told you that freedom is happiness, and happiness is freedom?

And he also said:

Look at this predatory peregrine falcon. Although he is kept in a cage, he is the lord and master of the hunt. If he does not want to hunt, no one will force him - and still in the evening he will get his rabbit. He is free to fly away, and no one will detain him - that means he is with me as long as he wants to. For him, freedom is not happiness, it is life for him.

There is another bird - a chicken. Day-to-day she walks around the yard or hatches eggs. If she is released into the steppe, she will become stupefied from freedom, and in a day she will die. For her, freedom is not happiness, it is death for her.

Then the desperate petitioner asked:

What then is wisdom?

And Solomon answered:

The owner's wisdom is to separate the peregrine falcons from the hens. You will destroy the first by captivity, the second by freedom.

And he also said:

There are few peregrine falcons, many chickens, but both must be protected.

The husband replied:

I understand you, O king.

Then go ahead and learn to separate one from the other. The petitioner bowed to the ground and went out in thought.

How do you understand Solomon's words: “The wisdom of the owner is to separate the peregrine falcons from the chickens. You will destroy the first by captivity, the second by freedom.

Star country.

In one fairy-tale country, there were stars, so the country was called Starry. The stars were different: blue and white, yellow and blue, green and pink, red and even black. They were also different in size. Very tiny stars lived here, medium-sized ones lived here, and even huge stars lived. Among them there was not a single star exactly like the other. But they all had one thing in common. The soul of each star was filled with love for all the inhabitants of this fabulous country. Therefore, they saw only good and kindness in each other, and from this they shone with an amazing magical light. The star country from this wonderful radiance was unusually beautiful and unique. Peace, harmony, mutual understanding and love reigned everywhere.

But one day the most vile of all the mischief in the world flew over the Star Country, the evil wizard, whose name was Dirty Pakostevich. Saw the Starry Country Dirty Pakostevich and envy boiled in him. How does he think so, love is all around, beauty, peace. Nobody fights, nobody fights. And there was no peace for Pakost Pakostevich. Unfortunately, there are still such specimens that feel very bad if others feel good. And conceived dirty trick Pakostievich his evil deed. And so that the stars would not recognize him, he turned into a wind of change and began to whisper that they say that in other countries they live more cheerfully, more interestingly and better. The stars were worried, worried. They also wanted to live even more interesting, even more fun, even better. “But what needs to be done for this?” - asked the stars. “Everything is very simple, you need to find shortcomings in others, scold all the time, criticize more, remember all the misdeeds that were once committed,” Pakost Pakostievich taught with knowledge of the matter. But the stars couldn't do it. And the evil wizard began to teach them further.

Hey you, he called to a black star named Adelaide. - Why are you so black? I know, I know, you're too lazy to wash. Fu, dirty, what ... A ton of soap is needed to wash such a grimy one. Hee hee hee... ha ha ha...

Someone picked it up, someone said nothing ... But it did not become more fun. And the black star Adelaide began to grow dim right in front of everyone's eyes from rude ridicule and did not shine with an amazing magical light as before. But the dirty trick Pakostievich did not let up.

Hey, hulk, - he called to the big green star Iolanthe. Here it is corroded ... Look, soon you will leave the whole country without food with such and such appetites. Ha ha ha...

Nobody stood up. And from rude ridicule, the bright green star Iolanta began to fade. But the dirty trick Pakostievich still did not let up. He walked up to a little pink star named Yuuta and started laughing at her.

Oh, I can't... What kind of minnow is this? Not an asterisk, but some kind of microbe. Just look at it under a microscope. What is the use of it, in vain only smokes the sky. And he laughed merrily again.

From such rude and evil words, strange laughter, the tiny pink star Utah almost completely went out. And then many stars picked up the idea of ​​Dirty Pakostievich. They began with great zeal to look for flaws in each star, criticized each other, recalled all the misdeeds that had once been committed. And from rude, offensive words, bad thoughts, love began to leave, and souls began to be filled with hatred, anger, envy. And because of this, the stars faded, dimmed and no longer shone with the amazing magical light that once gave the unique charm of the Starry Country. Beautiful and bright earlier, it turned into a dull, gray, lifeless country. The first to come to her senses was a very young white star named Lyuska. She decided to save her beloved homeland at all costs. "What to do?" thought Lucy. “Maybe wait for a good wizard? But when will he arrive? After all, you can wait a year, and two, and three, and thirty-three, or even not wait at all. And you need to act right now immediately, otherwise it may be too late. And she began to act at her own peril and risk.

Instead of shortcomings, Lyuska began to find virtues in the stars, looking for that kind and good that was in the soul of each of them. First she turned to the black star Adelaide.

Adelaide, you are very kind, you always took care of sick stars. Thanks to your attention, sensitivity, patience, they recovered faster.

And a miracle happened. The faded little star Adelaide suddenly shone again with an amazing magical light.

Hooray! Happened. Kind words help - Lyuska rejoiced overjoyed. And she began to act more confidently.

Iolanthe, I have always admired your responsibility, your punctuality. After all, you've never been late in your life. And from these kind words, Iolanthe flared up again, sparkled, shimmering with all sorts of shades of wonderful green.

Then Luska spoke to the tiny star Yuta.

Although you, Yuta, are very small, your soul resembles a huge inexhaustible storehouse of all kinds of interesting creative ideas. It is thanks to you that our holidays were so fun and interesting.

And Utah shone again with an amazing magical light. Luskin's idea was picked up by other stars. They began to look for something good and good in each other that was in the soul of each of them. And a miracle happened. The stars flashed one by one like the lights of a New Year's garland. Again the Starland shone with an amazing magical light, again it became beautiful and unique, perhaps it became even more beautiful than before. And the dirty trick Pakostievich realized that he had nothing more to do here and went home. He flew off to look for a country whose inhabitants love to find shortcomings in others, but do not notice advantages, where they love to criticize each other, quarrel, remember mistakes and mistakes, where they remember insults for a long time. But didn’t the dirty trick Pakostevich accidentally fly over your country?

Undoubtedly, all these people are saints! Wine shops remain closed from Saturday to Monday. The same is true for major holidays. Even peasants are called by patronymic. Black bread is preferred over white bread. Dogs are always fed meat and watered with milk. Therefore, when attacking a house, each dog is able to fight the crowd.

Some consider it worthy of a warrior to kill the enemy on the sly, while others consider it worthy to defeat in a knightly duel. Some kill to ease the pain, others save the life of a suffering cripple. The enumeration of these contradictions can be continued indefinitely, but the main thing that follows from all this is that if in the eyes of someone you want to seem like a person who follows the laws of morality, act in accordance with his views.
