By introducing me to Aurelius and getting me reading Meditations - which is but one of countless things you've gotten me doing - you've been instrumental in my process of overcoming my various demons and becoming a man. I honestly hope you read this comment at some point, as I'm sure you will being who you are, and feel happy, because you honestly deserve happiness for all the help you've given me. I will read more, I will learn, and I will not be lazy and useless. I could never really tell you exactly the effect you've had - I'm still absorbing everything you've said (I re-read your old posts a lot), and I'm sure you've got a lot more to say. Keep writing - I owe you, and if there's anything I can ever do to repay that debt, tell me. Have a good one.

I really connected with this article in how it made me more conscious of how much effort I use to stabilize my internal focus when facing the fluctuating difficulties of everyday life. Low and high points, who doesn't have them? But how many people deal with them in appropriate fashion? This must be a challenge that has existed ever since man found himself capable of enlightenment. I call it a challenge, a more positive connotation, as opposed to a problem because otherwise it seems too far out of reach to conquer, being something that I must face everyday of my life. Deep.
