Marcus Aurelius On Life!

Marcus Aurelius:
**

Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones. I am not afraid.

        Dear Bushka
        Went to the Arch of Marcus Aurelius
        of Tripoli this morning, as discussed.
        
        Said Hi to him from your side
        
        And have posted a blog reply on some
        of the thoughts which came to my mind
        As we sat reading the words which you posted
        
        http://prashantbhatt.blog.co.uk/2009/05/22/words-god-marcus-6158476/
        
        Will post the video and photographs later.
        Got to rush for a dinner party.
        Thanks for everything.

Hummm ... a bit like 'he that knows not and knows he knows not is a child, teach him. He that knows and knows and knows that he knows is wise, follow him. He that knows not and knows not he knows not, is a fool shun him. Though I have probably got it wrong! [as usual]
