    😺 This is but one reason why the classics should be a compulsory element within education. The wisdom of the ages must not be lost in a time of turmoil and indecision. Be of good character by knowing yourself is as true today as of yesteryear. A century ago here in 🇬🇧 school leavers would be presented with a description of their behaviour and achievements, entitled their ‘Character’. Employers would ask to see it before considering accepting a candidate for employment. Today, all too many poor examples of ‘character’ are taken as representative of acceptable behaviour by young and highly vulnerable members of society. Seneca and others knew much that we might value today, if they were better known. Kind regards from one who has benefited from a classical education.

      Yes, I fully agree. Introduction of these philosophies at an early age is essential as they equip oneself to face the challenges of life and also to lead a meaningful life.

    While I was working on my video about Marcus Aurelius I found some interesting ideas about focus as well. In a world where we are bombarded with content and information, focus becomes more and more important. 20 years ago was a characteristic, today it's a skill which we MUST master. It's funny how technology changes also the perspective on different terms.
