I was born in Rome in A.D. 121 under the given name Marcus Annius Verus and didn't receive the name Marcus Aurelius until my adoption by the Emperor T. Aurelius Antoninus. I became Emperor in A.D. 161 and I rule with justice and moderation. The Empire is at war, though, on our frontiers and I am loathe to command my armies. I am writing my thoughts down at this time in my life and I will share them with you, in order that you may, as well, find the ideals of the Stoics much appealing. I am the husband of Faustina, daughter of Antoninus Pius, and have a daughter."Hasten [to examine] thy own ruling faculty and that of the universe and that of thy neighbour: thy own, that thou mayst make it just; and that of the universe, that thou mayst remember of what thou art a part; and that of thy neighbour, that thou mayst know whether he has acted ignorantly or with knowledge, and that thou mayst consider that his ruling faculty is akin to thine."Ask, always on the nature of things:"This thing, what is it in itself, in its own constitution? What is its substance and material? And what is its casual nature [or form]? And what is it doing in the world? And how long does it subsist?"
