Live in accordance with nature from "summary" of The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius by Marcus Aurelius (Emperor of Rome)
The universe is governed by a rational order, a natural law that guides all things towards their proper end. This law is not something imposed from without, but arises from within the very structure of reality itself. To live in accordance with nature is to align oneself with this inherent order, to accept the way things are and to act in harmony with the natural course of events. To live in accordance with nature is to recognize the transience of all things, to accept the impermanence of life and to embrace the changes that come our way. Just as the seasons change and the tides ebb and flow, so too must we learn to adapt to the shifting circumstances of our lives. By accepting this fundamental truth, we can free ourselves from the burden of unrealistic expectations and find peace in the present moment. To live in accordance with nature is to cultivate a sense of inner harmony, to develop a deep and abiding connection with the world around us. By attuning ourselves to the rhythms of nature, we can find joy in the simple pleasures of life and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us. This connection helps us to see beyond our own selfish desires and to recognize our place within the larger web of existence. To live in accordance with nature is to practice self-control and moderation, to resist the temptations of excess and to cultivate a sense of discipline in our lives. By exercising restraint in all things, we can avoid the pitfalls of greed and ambition and find contentment in the simple pleasures of life. This moderation allows us to live in balance with the world around us and to avoid the extremes of pleasure and pain. To live in accordance with nature is to cultivate a sense of humility and gratitude, to acknowledge our own limitations and to appreciate the gifts that life has bestowed upon us. By recognizing the interconnectedness of all things, we can learn to treat others with kindness and compassion and to live in harmony with the world around us. This attitude of gratitude helps us to find meaning and purpose in our lives and to live with a sense of peace and contentment.
