With his distaste for dealing with the senate and extreme paranoia. It was here Tacitus references Tiberius mental state “Though three years had lapsed since the destruction of Sejanus, neither time, in treaties, nor sated gratification which have a soothing affect on others softened Tiberius or kept him from punishing doubtful or forgotten offenses as most flagrant and recent crimes”. Tacitus attributes Sejanus’ actions as part of the emperor’s mental state, but he seems to believe that Tiberius himself has caused this condition when he states “Although I have followed most historians in attributing the cause of his retirement to the arts of Sejanus, still, as he passed six consecutive years in the same solitude after that minister’s destruction, I am often in doubt whether it is not to be more truly ascribed to himself, and his wish to hide by the place of his retreat the cruelty and licentiousness which he betrayed by his actions. Some thought that in his old age he was ashamed of his personal appearance. He had indeed a tall, singularly slender and stooping figure, a bald head, a face full of eruptions, and covered here and there with
Marcus Aurelius Severus Alexander Augustus, more commonly known as Alexander Severus, was born in the Phoenician city of Caesarea. His parents were Julia Avita, considered a very powerful woman, and Marcus Julius Gessius Marcianus, who was an Aristocrat. Another important person in Alexander Severus’ life was his grandmother, Julia Maesa, who had big plans for her grandchildren. Alexander Severus was trained in literature and military services, starting from when he was young. He was a very simple child and did not care much for wearing fancy clothing and showing off.
“I found Rome of clay; I leave it to you of marble.” Octavius Gaius or rather better known as Roman Emperor Augustus Caesar left his deathbed with these words. Surely enough, Octavius left a footprint in history as a successful leader who controlled one of the largest empires in history—a man worshipped as a god. His Empire stood for surmountable amount of time until its fall of the Byzantine Empire.
The Isa Upanishad, in a broad sense, concerns itself with the quest for enlightenment and finding one’s self, or soul. It repeatedly emphasizes the importance of this venture and reiterates the plight of those who choose to remain ignorant, or in “blind darkness”; or even worse, those who delight in learning and find themselves in a “greater darkness”. These themes are also explored in various forms in the other extracts. In the Heraclitus of Ephesus extract, for example, there are numerous similarities that can be identified.
Since there is no divine figure that dictates life, there must be some rational explanation as to how matter comes to be. Within his first principle he states, “Nothing can ever be created by divine power out of nothing”. He suggests that all matter exists in the form of atoms, and although these atoms are not visible to the naked eye, they are still present. Unsurprisingly, this idea is radically different than any other concept of being that the Romans previously held. As a result, Lucretius’ writings were likely not well received by the audience.
Which is live your life and accept, now I may not agree with what’s happening like if I break my leg its broke already how did that even it happen Epictetus mind I would have to accept it and move on. How it happens and why it happens it’s out of my control I accept it calmly and dispassionately. Even a Great man that was influence by his studies served in the same branch as me(Admiral James Bond Stockdale). Epictetus save his life in a way the Stoic philosopher save his life when he was shot down in Vietnam war and became a prisoner of war.

The quote always associated with Heraclitus is “You can never step twice into the same river “because the waters are ever changing and flowing. Parmenides believed that change is an illusion: He proposed that all reality is permanent. (the root word permanence is from
Heraclitus was born in Ephesus, Greece, and was born between 500 and 400 BCE/BC making him a 6th century philosopher. Heraclitus was more than just a cosmologist, but someone who tried to see what to most cannot be seen. He was a man of thought, and lived life by pursuing experiences, which he perceived to be his only path to find what he observed as nature in his idea of the self vs. nature. When talking about the self and its partner nature, the deepest idea you can take away from the self is more of a task, but not an accomplishment. An example of this ideology is thinking of the task as parenting, using a set of skills to raise a child from infant to adult.
Julius Caesar was a politician, general, and dictator.

Everything brought into this world exists and takes up space, these things have their own reason for existence. These reasons are also a part of their essence. The basic nature of a thing defines the word “essence”, it is also the quality that makes something what it is. The famous author George Orwell said: “The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection, that one is sometimes willing to commit sins for the sake of loyalty, that one does not push asceticism to the point where it makes friendly intercourse impossible, and that one is prepared in the end to be defeated and broken up by life, which is the inevitable price of fastening one’s love upon other human individuals”. This saying by George Orwell tells us to be prepared for life’s
Oedipus the King is one of the most ironic plays ever written. Sophocles, the author, is a famous philosopher of the ancient times The Play is about Oedipus, the king of Thebes, who kills his father and marries his mother. An oracle warned Laius, the king of Thebes prior to Oedipus, that his son would murder him. Accordingly, when his wife, Jocasta, had a son, he exposed the baby by first pinning his ankles together. The infant, who was adopted by King Polybus of Corinth and his wife was then brought up as their very own.
Heraclitus Heraclitus is a Greek philosopher of which not much is known beyond his works. What we do know is that he lived in Ephesus, a city on the Ionian coast of Asia Minor, and that his character has largely been inferred from his writings on philosophical issues. Two philosophical theories come to mind when the name Heraclitus is mentioned: The Doctrine of Flux and the Unity of Opposites. In his espousal of these theories he managed to draw the ire of many -- even Aristotle and Plato, who believed that his hypothesis of the world was one of logical incoherence.
The day I changed my first diaper was one that changed my life. When I was at the pubescent age of eleven, I was asked by my family to change my Cousin Isabella’s diaper. For most people this would seem like an easy and simple task that would be done very quickly. This was not the case for me. Isabella is one of the feistiest toddlers that I have ever met, and I love her with my entire heart.
