What is my ruling faculty now to me?
And of what nature am I now making it?
And for what purpose am I now using it?
Is it void of understanding?
Is it loosed and rent asunder from social life?
Is it melted into and mixed with the poor flesh so as to move together with it?
—Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 10.24
