It happened so suddenly.

"Plato had defined Man as an animal, biped and featherless, and was applauded. Diogenes plucked a fowl and brought it into the lecture-room with the words, "Behold Plato's man!"" ~ Diogenes

"Suffering arises from trying to control what is uncontrollable, or from neglecting what is within our power." ~ Epictetus

"It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters." ~ Epictetus

"Happiness and freedom begin with a clear understanding of one principle: Some things are within our control, and some things are not. It is only after you have faced up to this fundamental rule and learned to distinguish between what you can and can't control that inner tranquility and outer effectiveness become possible." ~ Epictetus

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us." ~ J. R. R. Tolkien

"The greatest adventure is what lies ahead.
Today and tomorrow are yet to be said.
The chances, the changes are all yours to make.
The mold of your life is in your hands to break." ~ J. R. R. Tolkien

"All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king." ~ J. R. R. Tolkien

"Begin at once to live, and count each day as a separate life." ~ Seneca the Younger

"We suffer more in imagination than in reality." ~ Seneca the Younger

"It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that things are difficult" ~ Seneca the Younger

"In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe." ~ Michael Jackson

I will do what I must to keep the balance, as the balance is what holds all life. There is no good without evil, but evil must not be allowed to flourish. There is passion, yet peace; serenity, yet emotion; chaos, yet order. I am a wielder of the flame; a champion of balance.

Jedi:

There is no emotion, there is peace.
There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
There is no passion, there is serenity.
There is no chaos, there is harmony.
There is no death, there is the Force.

Sith:

Peace is a lie. There is only passion.
Through passion I gain strength.
Through strength I gain power.
Through power I gain victory.
Through victory my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me.

"The idea of suicide, understandable as it is, does not seem commendable to me. We live in order to gain the greatest possible amount of spiritual development and self-awareness. As long as life is possible, even if only in a minimal degree, you should hang onto it, in order to scoop it up for the purpose of conscious development. To interrupt life before its time is to bring to a standstill an experiment which we have not set up. We have found ourselves in the midst of it and must carry it through to the end." ~ Carl Jung

"Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darkness's of other people. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. The most terrifying thing is to accept oneself completely. Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes." ~ Carl Jung

It's awesome

Ancient Rome, a civilization that began as a small town on the Tiber River, grew into a vast empire encompassing much of Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. Its influence is still felt today through language, law, architecture, and political systems. The empire's history is often divided into the Roman Republic (509-27 BC) and the Roman Empire (27 BC - 476 AD in the West, 1453 AD in the East). [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
Key Aspects of Ancient Rome:

• Founding and Early History: According to legend, Rome was founded by Romulus and Remus in 753 BC. The early Romans established a republic after overthrowing their king, and the Roman Republic eventually expanded its territory through conquest and diplomacy. [1, 2, 3, 9, 10, 11]
• Expansion and Governance: The Republic saw the rise of powerful generals and political struggles, eventually leading to the rise of Julius Caesar and the transition to an empire. [1, 3]
• The Roman Empire: The first emperor, Augustus, ushered in a period of peace and prosperity known as the Pax Romana. The empire reached its greatest extent under Emperor Trajan. [1, 3, 12, 13]
• Decline and Fall: The empire eventually weakened due to internal strife, economic problems, and external invasions, eventually splitting into Western and Eastern halves, with the Western Roman Empire falling in 476 AD and the Eastern (Byzantine) Empire lasting until 1453 AD. [1, 13]
• Contributions: Ancient Rome left a lasting legacy in law, language (Romance languages are derived from Latin), architecture (aqueducts, roads, arches), and political systems. The United States government was influenced by the Roman Republic's system of checks and balances, according to National Geographic Kids. [1, 2, 14]
• Culture: Ancient Rome was heavily influenced by Greek culture, but also developed its own unique aspects in philosophy, literature, and art. [2, 15]

Babylon refers to a significant ancient Mesopotamian city, known for its empires, impressive architecture, and enduring legacy. It was located on the Euphrates River in present-day Iraq and served as the capital of the Babylonian Empire and later the Neo-Babylonian Empire. Babylon is also known for its association with the Tower of Babel, the Hanging Gardens (one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World), and its depiction in the Bible as a symbol of power and, later, moral decay. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]

• Biblical References: The Bible often portrays Babylon as a powerful, and ultimately corrupt, empire. It is featured in historical narratives, apocalyptic texts, and as a symbol of worldly power and evil. [3, 6]
• Cultural Impact: Babylon's influence extended beyond its political dominance, impacting art, science, and mathematics in the ancient Near East. [2]
