I believe Marcus wrote his Meditations as a personal journal. I don't think he was preaching or proselytizing.
>>14656865
Jordan is the opposite. Total and complete preacher who's every word is a "ought" or "should".

I am pretty sure Marcus gave his wife a cheat pass. He, as a rational person, understood that people, especially women, need attention and warmth.
It was a very common thing to do back then, Marcus must have fucked some boipussy as well.

It's true. Drug addiction, cuckoldry, and pederasty are part and parcel of living your best life.

If I had infinite access to opium I'd use it for sure

The cuckoldry is bad though, Marcus should’ve found a better solution
