“The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.”
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
Of course, that's true. And there is no "meaning" to life, except the meaning we give it. But we do have to face what comes at us as we live, and some of what comes at us IS insane. So I get what Marcus Aurelius means.
So do I Shaw. It speaks to the beauty of non attachment to any beliefs or phenomenon in life. As conditions and circumstances, as well as life itself, are/is constantly changing. As well as being empty of inherent essence or nature and being impermanent.
lol! That's what it means to be part of the majority...
