The 5 Ways The Soul Degrades Itself

<p>     <br> Marcus Aurelius: The 5 Ways The Human Soul Degrades Itself: The Human Soul Degrades Itself:<br>1. To be disgruntled at anything that happens is a kind of secession from nature, which comprises the nature of all things.<br>2. When it turns its back on another person or sets out to do it harm, as the souls of the angry do.<br>3. When it is overpowered by pleasure or pain<br>4. When it puts on a mask and does or says something artificial or false<br>5. When it allows its action and impulse to be without purpose, to be random or disconnected: even the smallest things ought to be directed toward a goal. </p>
