Reflection

Death is a release from the impressions of the senses, and from impulses that make us their puppets.

— Marcus Aurelius

Marcus Aurelius views the end as a return to a state of profound stillness. It is a liberation from the constant, often exhausting demands of the physical body and the restless ego.
