Autarky. Marcus Aurelius 4.13
Reason
solves problems, but like any solvent it can be dangerous. Make sure
to taste your own reason's medicine, to avoid spreading it too
liberally or carelessly beyond the realm that is yours. Never try to
solve for others what can only be solved by the self.
«Λόγον
ἔχεις;» «ἔχω.» «τί οὖν οὐ χρᾷ; τούτου
γὰρ τὸ ἑαυτοῦ ποιοῦντος τί ἄλλο
θέλεις;»
Q. "Have you a faculty for rational
judgement?" A. "I do." Q. "Why then do you not
use it? If it is already employed looking after itself, what more do
you want?"
