Reading the ancients writers, I have learnt so much, over all, to know myself. My logo, is the enigma of Edipus. This enigma express essentially the meaning of my life. But who helped me to connect the ancient philosophy with my present problems, was Nathaniel Branden and Ayn Rand. People can't understand Spinoza, for exemple or Aristotle, but can understand Nathaniel or Rand. But is in my personal situation where I found the main response to my dificulties showing me why are originated.They don't express anything new. They express only the essence of ancient philosophy in modern times, that made possible the progress of modern world emerged in the Industrial Revolution in middle eighteenth century: in the difficulties to connect with reality through reason and conscience: our moral faculty. I can understand Edipus or Hamlet, when we guide our lifes by looking for pleasures and satisfactions in place of accept our pain and then our reality. Denying our reality or the reality, we condemn ourselves to it: the fatalism and autodestruction. Accepting reality, we feel better and expand our conscience to a wide sphere where we can learn about experience and understand what Seneca said: life is fighting and fight is living. Sorry about my english: is a reality that I'm learning listening documentaries and realding ebooks.
