THE THREE
Marcus Aurelius ruled Rome and wrote the Meditations as private notes to himself. Epictetus was born into slavery and taught that what happens to us is not ours to choose - only what we make of it. Seneca wrote letters on time, anger, grief, and how to spend a life. Two thousand years on, they still say it plainly.
