@safilines: Marcus Aurelius reminds us that fear of loss only exists where we claim ownership. If you see wealth, status, even your body as borrowed — not possessed — then setbacks stop being theft. You can’t lose what was never yours. What remains is your judgment, your virtue, your ability to act with reason. Those can’t be taken unless you hand them over. So the real question becomes: if nothing external is mine, what’s left for me to fear? #Stoicism #MarcusAurelius #MementoMori #Detachment #Philosophy
