Stoics are and were one of the most Respectable individuals that ever walked on the face of this planet they were strong yet kind.

Meditations

One of the most Famous books of all time. It's considered very important of a great value among stoics. Fun fact is that this is not a Book but a Personal Journal of an Emperor. The Great emperor of Rome Marcus Aurelius. It's a record of his personal ideologies and ideas which he talks about in the journal along with his feelings, thoughts and emotions. It has been translated into many languages throughout the era. Many Successful politicians and leaders read it everyday to gain wisdom from his words and teachings. Because no matter the eras some things never really change. No one completely knows what Marcus was up to; many readers and people talk about his life and sadness he's been through in his life. How he had been feeling throughout that phase but some lines were far away from everyone's understanding and only Marcus knew what he was doing. In the beginning of the book. He shows gratitude and pays Respect to his Teachers, Parents and Close Friends. The actual book starts from Book 2. So my advice to the readers will be that you all should start from Book 2 till the end and after that read Book 1. Otherwise it can confuse some readers.
