Very real possibility.
And don’t get me wrong, I value Meditations above almost every other philosophical text mainly because it seems like (we can’t really know for sure) some thoughtful old guy’s notes to himself on how to find joy in his life rather than something intended to impress his philosophy inclined academic buddies.
I just disagree with the notion that life is this special beautiful thing most people tell themselves because they are afraid or haven’t found a way to be joyful without such a notion.
