Even that which comes individually to every man is to the power which administers the Universe a cause of felicity and perfection, even of its very continuance.
For the integrity of the whole is mutilated, if you cut off anything whatever from the conjunction and the continuity either of the parts or of the causes.
And you do cut off, as far as it is in your power, when you are dissatisfied, and in a manner try to put anything out of the way.
—Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 5.8
