Here's my question, do you really think that Marucs Aurelius really said all the stuff that he is actually attributed with saying? How do they actually know that? Was he writing it all down thinking that one day people would be sharing it all over the place? Did someone else write it down? Like someone who was documenting his reign? I've always wondered that about some of these ancient quotes. I think your meme was pretty funny. Sorry they raked you over the coals for it. Canada has been pushing a big ad campaign in Michigan lately. I think a lot of it has to do with the tariff and 51st state talk, but who knows.
As far as Marcus Aurelius is concerned: He has a collection of musings called "Meditations" that is is verified or at least generally accepted that he did indeed write, where quotes of his can be found but just like anything on the internet, I am sure there are some fake ones attributed to him as well.
That is interesting. If even half of them can be attributed to him, he was still a pretty impressive fellow. I don't think anything I write here on Hive will ever be quoted in the future. Did you ever slip mercurial into a sentence?
Canada is a lovely place as far as the photos are concerned, I think everyone admits that but from the Canadians I know they are kind of happy to not be living there because of certain laws they are unhappy with and high taxes, which is something I can agree with. My parents RV through Canada every year and it does look lovely though.
The parts I have been to and seen are pretty amazing. I'd love to hit some of the western parts of it one day. Being right near Ontario I've been to that part several times as a kid. I think I have been to Quebec too as a kid. I think there is general discontent all over the place with governments right now. Even Germany seems to be in upheaval right now.
