Not currently but it's never far from my mind. This passage in particular I like to repeat to myself any time I wake up in the morning knowing what I should do, what I need to do really, and feeling like a whining petulant toddler about just doing it. There is deep comfort in knowing that two thousand years ago a great emperor of the entire known world was dealing with that similar feeling.
My favorite lecture on that work is by Michael Sugrue, I think I watched it enough times during the pandemic to memorize it completely 😅
