In contrast, standing alone suggests a willingness to depart from the crowd, to defy conventional wisdom, and to bear the weight ...

This innate self-love manifests in various ways: self-preservation, pursuit of personal goals, and maintaining a positive self-image. This prioritization is rooted in survival instincts and a fundamental desire for happiness and well-being. Nevertheless, Aurelius observes a contradictory phenomenon: people frequently give other people's opinions a lot of weight, despite their innate self-regard. I am sure we can a...
