Is this the life?
Cicero's Theory:
1- The poor: works
2- The rich: exploits the first
3- The soldier: defends the two
4- The citizen: pays the three
5- The lazy: depends on the four
6- The drunkard: drinks in the health of the five
7- The banker: steals the six
8- The lawyer: cheats the seven
9- The doctor: kills the eight
10- The gravedigger: buries the nine
The politician: lives from the ten
According to Cicero, there are six mistakes that humanity continues to commit century after century:
- Believing that personal gain is achieved by crushing others.
- Worrying about things that cannot be changed or corrected.
- Insisting on achieving impossible things.
- Refusing to put aside trivial preferences.
- Neglecting to develop and refine the mind.
- Trying to force others to believe and live as we do.
