Does that content you?
Fie for your despondency! Remember M.Aurelius: "This is the chief thing: Be not perturbed; for all things are of the nature of the Universal." Indeed I am a little surprised at your having forebodings, after my assurance to you before I left.

I have none.

My opinion is that, to be happy, it is best to think that, as we are the product of events, events will continue to produce that which is in harmony with us....

You are too faint-hearted, and that's the truth of it.

I advise you not to abandon yourself to idolatry too readily; you know what I mean.
