It is satisfaction to a man to do the proper works of a man.
Now it is a proper work of a man to be benevolent to his own kind, to despise the movements of the senses, to form a just judgment of plausible appearances, and to take a survey of the Nature of the Universe and of the things which happen in it.
—Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 8.26
